How much does commercial lawn maintenance cost?

I manage a small office park with about half an acre of grass and borders that need keeping tidy year round. What do gardening firms typically charge for a monthly commercial contract?

"For a commercial site of around half an acre, monthly maintenance costs can vary depending on how often the grass needs cutting, the amount of edging, borders, hedge work and general upkeep required.
A typical ongoing contract could be anywhere from £200–£500+ per month, depending on the frequency and amount of work involved. I’d recommend getting the site assessed so the gardening company can provide an accurate monthly price based on the work required."

"Hi Kelly, in response to your question it would depend on who you hired to undertake the work.
Are you specifically looking for a vat registered company or would you consider someone self employed, that wouldn’t necessarily tie you down in a yearly contract, and would probably give you more attention to detail, offer more flexibility, and probably work out cheaper?"

"I’d say it depends on who you hire because some companies charge their own rates. First overgrown cut would cost more then cheaper rates each time after. I’d roughy say £80 normally."

"For half an acre (about 2,023 m²) of commercial grass and borders, I’d expect a genuine commercial maintenance contract to be around £400–£700 per month, depending on visiting frequency and how much border work is involved."
