A pensioner was quoted an outrageous fee for a simple garden tidy-up job. However, she ended up having her outdoor space completely transformed for free.

Maintaining a pristine garden can be challenging for older people, and with the cost of everything increasing across the UK, hiring a professional can be very expensive.

This was the predicament faced by a 76-year-old woman in Manchester recently. According to the man behind the Garden Yardz Mowing account on TikTok, she was quoted a staggering £2,500 to have her lawn mowed and plants trimmed back.

Garden Yardz Mowing has gained more than 21,000 followers on TikTok for sharing videos of garden makeovers.
