Garden Services Price List for Cape Town Homes and Complexes

Keeping a garden neat, safe, and presentable is easier when you know exactly what each service will cost. This Garden Services Price List has been created for homeowners, body corporates, and facility managers who need clear, practical information before booking work. All pricing is guided by typical Cape Town site conditions, so you can compare options and budget ahead. Final quotes are always confirmed on-site, especially where access, slopes, or dense growth affect the job.

My Home Garden focuses on predictable costs, clear scope of work, and reliable timeframes. Whether you manage a single property or a full portfolio, our team can structure a service plan that matches your garden size, risk profile, and maintenance standards. We also prioritise safety and tidy, low-disruption work methods that suit residential neighbourhoods, estates, and small commercial sites.

Standard Garden Maintenance Rates

Routine garden maintenance is usually priced per visit, based on property size and current garden condition. Small gardens in freestanding homes and townhouses are typically quoted on a fixed rate that covers lawn mowing, edging, light pruning, and general clean-up. Larger properties, including corner stands and complexes, may move to a per-hour or per-team rate when there is more ground to cover.

A standard visit usually includes cutting and edging lawns, sweeping or blowing hard surfaces, and removing light garden refuse. Trimming hedges and shrubs is either built into the agreement or quoted separately if the work is seasonal. Regular service every 1–2 weeks keeps costs stable, because the garden never gets so overgrown that it requires additional labour or extra removal trips.

Tree, Shrub, and Hedge Service Pricing

The tree and shrub section of our Garden Services Price List is based on the height, spread, and access to each plant. Small to medium trees that can be reached safely from the ground or a low ladder fall into the lower pricing band. Taller or more complex trees, especially those near roofs, walls, or power lines, require specialised equipment and are priced accordingly.

Shrub and hedge trimming is normally charged per metre or per section, depending on thickness and height. Formal hedges around boundary walls, driveways, and entry points can be added to your regular maintenance contract to avoid once-off spikes in cost. Where overgrown hedges block visibility for vehicles or pedestrians, we recommend a corrective cut followed by lighter, more frequent shaping.

Lawn Care, Weed Control, and Garden Clean-Ups

Standard lawn mowing is included in most maintenance packages, but more intensive lawn care is costed as an add-on. This includes services such as seasonal fertilising, manual aeration of compacted areas, and topdressing to even out uneven patches. Pricing depends on the square meterage of lawn and the specific products required for your soil and grass type.

Weed control in beds and paved areas is typically priced by area and level of infestation. Hand weeding, mulching, and targeted spot treatments can be combined to keep paths, driveways, and borders neat. Full garden clean-ups, such as post-tenant or pre-sale spruce-ups, are quoted on-site because they often involve bulk refuse removal, pruning, re-edging beds, and restoring basic structure to neglected spaces.

Once-Off Projects and Seasonal Services

Many clients use our Garden Services Price List as a guide for once-off projects that fall outside routine maintenance. These projects include reshaping beds, planting new shrubs, removing dead plants, and re-establishing lawn in high-traffic areas. Pricing is usually per project, based on labour time, plant selection, and materials like compost, mulch, and edging.

Seasonal services, such as autumn leaf clearing or spring preparation, can be scheduled in advance for complexes and estates. This is particularly useful where trustees or managers need fixed figures for annual budgets and levy planning. We can also align seasonal work with your existing garden staff to avoid duplication and keep total spending under control.

Request a Tailored Garden Services Price List for Your Property

If you manage a body corporate, commercial site, or multiple homes, a customised schedule of rates often works better than once-off quotes. We can assess your gardens, clarify the exact standard you require, and then create a written breakdown for routine and project work. This helps you approve jobs quickly, compare seasons year-on-year, and justify costs to owners or head office.
