how mush for a gardener in east sussex

[norma41]

I am wondering how much a gardener would be to come and maintain my parents house with a medium garden. I was hoping to pay someone by the hour for all maintenance.

We pay two gardeners, for property management, not our properties. One is town and one's country, but both charge £15 an hour. One provides his own equipment, the other doesn't. Both are retained year round.

Dh charges £25 per hour for specialist tree work and £15 for gardening. He uses his own equipment. We are in East Sussex and that is the going rate around this way.
