This page explains how our rates work, the difference between time-based and load-based quotes, and typical man & van cost ranges for the area.How our transparent pricing model works
We use a straightforward, easy-to-follow approach so you can compare gardening company prices in Balham at a glance. We provide either a fixed-rate quote for specific tasks or a load-based/cubic-yard rate for bulk green waste and clearance jobs. All quotes include estimated labour, disposal fees and any specialist equipment needed — nothing hidden. Transparency is central to every estimate we produce.
Load-based and cubic-yard rates explained
For garden waste removals and large clearances we charge by volume as well as by weight where applicable. Typical options include:- Small load (van or 1/4 yard): ideal for small front gardens or shed cleanouts.
- Medium load (1/2–1 yard): common for regular tidy-ups at terraced houses in central Balham.
- Large load (1–2 cubic yards): used for full garden clearances, overgrown back gardens or bulky green waste from property renovations.
Typical man and van cost area rates
For jobs that require transport of waste, garden features or soil, our man and van cost area pricing is competitive. We break down the fee into:Labour: charged hourly or as a fixed job price for scheduled tasks. Travel and time to load and secure waste are included. We avoid surprise charges by estimating loading times based on property type.
Midway example: a typical man & van job from a Balham terrace (front and small back garden) can be charged as a single medium load plus 1–2 hours of labour. That covers cutting, bagging and transporting debris to authorised disposal. This load-based approach is often cheaper than purely hourly rates for concentrated clearance work.
Example jobs and prices — relate to local property styles
Below are realistic examples using local property scenarios to help you judge likely costs in the gardening company prices Balham market.Example 1: Victorian terraced house — small back courtyard tidy and green waste removal. This is usually a 1/4 to 1/2 yard load plus 1 hour of labour for a single operative. Good for flats above shops near Balham High Road where access is narrow.
Example 2: Semi-detached family home on Chestnut Grove — seasonal lawn care plus hedge trim and a 1/2 yard removal. Expect a combined fixed quote reflecting scheduled maintenance with a small load charge for plant trimmings. The man and van cost area for such a job tends to be mid-range due to accessible off-street parking.
Example 3: End-of-lease clearance for a ground-floor flat close to Balham station — full garden clearance, paving removal and green waste disposal. This is often a 1–2 cubic yard load with two operatives; we provide a clear estimate for cubic-yard rates and hours. For tight access locations we note additional handling time so quotes remain accurate.
Example 4: Large suburban garden overhaul — overgrown borders, tree pruning and mulch replacement. We price the work as a combination of hourly labour for skilled pruning and a cubic-yard rate for green waste. Large gardens require detailed site assessment; we include that in a free quote so you know the difference between standard garden maintenance and landscape-level work.
Why load-based rates matter: charging by cubic yard aligns price with the actual amount of material removed. Clients in busy areas of Balham, such as near Clapham South or Balham Station, often prefer this model because it reflects the real disposal cost and avoids paying for unused time.
