How to hire Service Plus – from first contact to a finished garden

Service Plus Stockholm AB is a gardening company that helps private households in houses, terraced houses and holiday homes across Greater Stockholm with lawn mowing, grass trimming, hedge trimming, planting, pruning, tree felling, stump grinding, garden cleanup, watering, window cleaning, snow removal and removal of garden waste. We also clean windows in flats, so you do not need a garden to hire us. Alongside our private customers we maintain courtyards on contract for housing cooperatives, property companies and municipalities.

You can book a single visit. Most private customers start with one job – a hedge to cut, a tree to take down, a plot to clear – and decide afterwards whether they want recurring help. There is no subscription to commit to and no minimum order. If you want the grass cut every other week or the hedge trimmed twice a season, we set that up as a seasonal contract instead, on fixed days.

Almost all of them: lawn mowing, trimming, hedge trimming, pruning, tree felling, stump grinding, planting, weeding, leaf and garden clean-ups, watering, window cleaning, snow clearing and de-icing. The deduction is 50 percent of the labour cost, up to 75,000 kronor per person per year, and applies to a permanent home as well as a holiday home. Materials, plants and waste removal are not covered. Service Plus deducts the amount directly on the invoice and applies to Skatteverket for you.

No. For work outdoors we only need access to the plot, so most customers are at work while we are there. We let you know when we arrive if you want, and send a picture when the job is done if we do not meet. If we are cleaning windows inside or need to get into a garage or shed we do of course need access, and then we agree a time that suits you.

Yes, always. Mowers, trimmers, hedge shears, pole trimmers, chainsaws, a stump grinder, leaf blowers, scaffolding and a lift when needed – it all comes with us. You do not need to own anything or buy materials, apart from plants and soil for planting, where you choose whether to buy them yourself or let us do it.

Yes. Clearing an overgrown plot is one of our most common jobs: long grass and scrub are cut down, bushes and small trees removed, weeds pulled, leaves and brushwood collected and everything hauled away. It is common before a sale, after a change of owner, or at a holiday home left untouched for a few seasons. We make a free visit first, because an overgrown plot is hard to judge from a photo.

Yes, and the RUT deduction applies there too as long as you use the house yourself. Cutting long grass, felling trees, trimming hedges, clearing up and cleaning windows at a holiday home are booked just as they are at home. Many customers on Värmdö, Ekerö and around Norrtälje have us keep an eye on the plot between visits, and watering beds and pots can be added while you are away.

The price depends on the scope of the job: the size of the area, how overgrown it is, how easy it is to reach with a vehicle and machines, and how much waste has to be carted away. We provide a free quote with a clear price or hourly rate before the work begins, with labour, materials and any removal itemised separately so you can see which part the RUT deduction is calculated on.

Check that the company is registered for F-tax and carries liability insurance, gives a written quote before the work starts, invoices rather than taking cash, files the RUT claim for you, and makes a risk assessment before felling a tree – including whether the local development plan requires a felling permit. Service Plus Stockholm AB meets all of this, fells trees in sections near houses and power lines and hauls away timber and branches.

With a company you get F-tax registration and liability insurance if something is damaged, a written quote and an invoice, a RUT deduction of up to 50% of the labour cost for private individuals that the company claims for you, and professional equipment for hedges, trees and large areas. Service Plus Stockholm AB brings its own equipment, does the work at the agreed time and always leaves the site clean. You can start with a one-off job and move to a seasonal contract later.

From Service Plus Stockholm AB. Winter preparation is booked as an autumn cleanup: leaf collection, clearing beds, the last cut, cutting back perennials, emptying pots and waste removal as an add-on. It works just as well for a house garden as for a small patio. If you also want help once the snow arrives, a winter contract covering snow clearing and gritting is signed at the same time. The quote is free and comes within 24 hours.

Yes. Service Plus loads, transports and delivers all garden waste to recycling. Waste removal is chosen as an add-on when booking; otherwise the waste is left on the plot. Transport does not qualify for the RUT deduction, so that part appears as its own line on the invoice.

Yes. Alongside its private customers, Service Plus maintains courtyards, blocks and entire residential areas on seasonal and year-round contracts for housing cooperatives (BRF), property companies, joint property associations, companies and municipalities in Greater Stockholm, often the same areas year after year. Cooperatives, property managers and municipalities are welcome to contact us directly for a free site visit. Note that the RUT deduction applies to private individuals only, not to an association's shared land.
