Long boundary hedge trimmed to a cleaner, more even line
A long established boundary hedge had begun to lose its clean profile as fresh growth projected above and beyond the intended line. A careful maintenance trim brought the face and top back under control while keeping the screening dense.

What we see on Whitby garden maintenance jobs
The gardens in Whitby are a decent size for estate housing. The 1960s to 1980s semis and detached homes around Whitby Park, Overpool and Stanney were laid out with proper lawns front and back, the fronts mostly open-plan to the road, and on the flat, moisture-holding ground here the grass grows strongly from March right through to November. Exposure is the other factor — there is little shelter between the estates and the estuary, so hedges of leylandii and laurel were planted as windbreaks and now need keeping in check, and anything left uncut gets flattened and untidy fast. There are a lot of long-established households in Whitby who have kept these gardens up for decades and are now looking for help, and a growing number of rented houses that need bringing back between tenants. Garden maintenance here is mostly a fortnightly cut and edge through the season, hedges kept to a height, borders weeded and beds tidied, with clearance visits for the gardens that have got away. Whitby is a short run up from our Chester base and we are in Ellesmere Port regularly, so a regular slot is easy to hold.

Questions
Garden Maintenance in Whitby — FAQs
How much of the garden can you cover in a regular visit?
A regular maintenance visit from £65 typically covers the grass cut and edging front and back, a tidy of the borders and a sweep of the paths. Hedge cuts and larger clearance are added when they are due rather than every time. We agree the list up front so you know what each visit includes.
We let the house out — can you keep the garden tidy between tenants and during a let?
Yes. Landlords around Whitby often ask for a one-off tidy when a tenancy ends, then a fortnightly or monthly visit during the let so it never becomes a dispute at check-out. We can work from photos to price the initial tidy and keep you updated without you needing to be there.
The back garden is a lot bigger than the front — does that change the price?
It is the main thing that does. Whitby's rear lawns are often two or three times the front, so the grass cut and edge tidy from £50 assumes a typical estate plot and we adjust for a larger one. A quick photo of the back from the house gives us enough to price it fairly.
Do you cut the hedges on the same visit as the grass?
When they are due, yes. Windbreak hedges like leylandii and laurel need one or two proper cuts a year rather than a trim every visit, so we schedule those into the regular round in early summer and late summer. Everything is cleared and taken away in the same visit where waste removal is arranged.
What happens over winter — do you still come?
Grass slows down in late November and we drop to occasional visits for leaf clearing, cutting back and general tidying, or pause entirely if you prefer. Winter is also a good time for the clearance and hedge reduction jobs that are harder to fit in during the growing season.
How much does garden maintenance cost in Whitby?
Guide prices start £50. Final quotes are confirmed after photos or a visit, because access, size and condition change the scope. Send photos through the instant quote for a quick steer.
Do you cover Whitby for garden maintenance?
Yes — Chester Property & Garden Maintenance is Chester-based and covers Whitby and the surrounding area when the job, access and schedule fit.
Can you quote from photos?
For many exterior jobs, photos confirm the likely scope quickly. Larger or access-sensitive work may still need a short visit first.
