How big is your garden ?

It was £15 front and back a couple of years ago. Moderate size garden; I'm not sure if there were edges to strim.

I have cut 2 lawns today, £10 each. I only do it for a side job, I think £15 would be reasonable for a large lawn. A small lawn could be less than £10, if done every two weeks. But a gardener may think otherwise.

I don't collect the grass, because it wasn't that long, so its quicker. The price does depend on the quality, do you want the weeds cutting out, edges, is it a regular cut ....

This is a money saving forum, why not just do it yourself, you'll get exercise and save yourself money too.

Not everyone has the time! I know as a single dad and business owner that I certainly dont! Thats why my grass is the plastic variety :rotfl:

I pay £13 every 2 weeks to mow a fairly small back lawn, trim the edges and do the weeding. Doesn’t take my guy very long but he does a good job and is reliable.

He cuts the hedges and tidies shrubs etc for me when required.

I used to do it myself but didn’t enjoy it. I have back problems which prevent me doing it now. My DH hates gardening and refuses to do it. Hence we pay someone else to do it!

My dad has an average lawn cut and hedges trimmed every 3 weeks in summer for £20 a time.

Don't think gardeners like to be paid in dollars . . . in the UK

I pay £25 for front and back, in Surrey.
Back is long and skinny, front is just a bit either side.
Occasionally he does the hedges too as an extra.
He does a lovely job, strims & gathers.
