A town of three ages
Thornaby mixes the old village end near the green, the large post-war estates built for the works, and newer developments around Teesdale and Ingleby Way. Garden sizes fall sharply across those three: generous and mature at the village end, standard and hedged on the post-war estates, compact and fenced on the newest streets. The right maintenance interval differs accordingly.
Post-war estate hedging
The estate gardens came with privet and hawthorn front hedges, many of which are still in place seventy years later. Privet responds well to two cuts a year and to being taken back hard when it has grown leggy, which makes it one of the more forgiving hedges to inherit. Where it has been cut with flared sides for decades, tapering it back so the base gets light is the fix.
Small gardens, fixed prices
On the smaller plots a fixed price per visit beats an hourly rate, because the work is predictable and it removes the argument about how long it took. Mowing, edging and a quick run over the borders is genuinely a short visit on a compact garden, and it should be priced as such.
