Garden maintenance for a monthly fee, so your weekends are your own
We offer garden maintenance in Budapest and the surrounding towns on a monthly agreement: we visit regularly and always do the work your garden needs at that time of year. We take care of the garden, and on Saturday mornings all you have to do is enjoy it.
How monthly garden maintenance works
First we walk round the garden with you, free of charge, and talk through what you need, what you enjoy doing yourself and what you’d rather leave to us. From this we put together a written quote that sets out exactly what the monthly fee covers.
Once we’ve agreed, we come regularly, so you don’t have to order every job separately or wonder when the pruning or the irrigation winterisation is due. The monthly fee also makes your garden costs predictable.

We spot problems early
Someone who is in the garden regularly notices sooner when a branch has died, a tree has fallen ill or a sprinkler head isn’t working properly. Weeds never take a holiday either, but if we keep a constant eye on them, they never get the upper hand.
If a tree is in trouble, we first see whether it can be saved by branch removal, pruning or crown reshaping, since a healthy tree is worth more to the garden than an empty space. If bigger work is needed, such as stump grinding, planting a new tree or creating a new flowerbed, we do that too, so you don’t have to look for another contractor.
Garden maintenance all year round
In a typical garden, the year’s jobs are spread out roughly like this.
- Starting up the irrigation system
- The first mows of the year
- Weeding and tidying the flowerbeds
- Patching bare spots with turf
- Regular mowing
- Watering and checking the sprinkler heads
- Trimming and shaping the hedge
- Leaf clearing
- Winterising the irrigation before the first frosts
- The last mows of the year
- Getting the garden ready for winter
- Pruning fruit trees while they are bare
- Branch removal and crown reshaping
- Tree felling, if a tree can no longer be saved
What affects the cost of garden maintenance?
After a free site visit we work out the monthly fee for each garden separately and send it to you in writing.
The size of the garden
What matters most is how big the lawn is and how many flowerbeds, hedges and trees there are.
How often we visit
A small city garden needs fewer visits, while a large garden with plenty of lawn and flowerbeds needs looking after more often.
The jobs you leave to us
The fee differs depending on whether we only look after the lawn or take on all of the year’s garden work.
Irrigation and robotic mower
If an automatic irrigation system and a robotic lawnmower are at work in the garden, part of the manual work falls away from the start.
Taking away green waste
Leaves in autumn and cuttings in summer make up most of the green waste, and whether we take it away also counts towards the price.

Frequently asked questions
How much does garden maintenance cost in Budapest?
The monthly fee differs from garden to garden, because looking after a small front garden and a large garden full of trees are completely different jobs. After a free site visit we send you an accurate quote in writing, so you know in advance what to budget for each month.
How often do you visit?
As often as the garden needs and as we agree. In mowing season we naturally come more often, and we work out the exact schedule together during the site visit.
What does the monthly fee include?
Exactly what we agree on, which is why no two monthly fees are the same. It can cover year-round care including all the seasonal jobs, but it can also be narrower if there are tasks you’re happy to do yourself.
Do you offer lawn mowing only?
Yes, if the garden is mostly lawn, the monthly fee can cover nothing but regular mowing. If you later decide to hand more over to us, we can extend the agreement.
Do you install robotic lawnmowers?
Yes, we install robotic lawnmowers too. The machine keeps the lawn short all the time, but the edges, the hedge and the flowerbeds still need work by hand, and we take care of that as part of monthly garden maintenance.
Do you come in winter too?
Yes, if the agreement covers the whole year. The lawn rests in winter, but that’s when we have the most to do with the trees, because it’s easiest to see what needs pruning when they’re bare.
