About Cokili
Since 2015, Cokili has been helping property owners in Sofia understand the real costs of maintaining large gardens. What started as a small consulting service has grown into a comprehensive resource for garden cost analysis and equipment evaluation.
We specialize in breaking down the financial aspects of garden maintenance, comparing professional gardening services with equipment ownership costs. Our team consists of 4 certified horticulturists and 2 financial analysts who work together to provide accurate cost assessments.
Our Foundation Story
Cokili was established when our founder, a landscape architect with 12 years of experience, noticed that many clients in Sofia's Lozenets and Boyana districts were making costly decisions about garden maintenance without proper financial information. Property owners were either overspending on professional services or investing in equipment they rarely used.
We created a systematic approach to evaluate these costs. Our method involves analyzing garden size (typically 500-2000 square meters for our clients), seasonal maintenance requirements, and comparing hourly rates for professional gardeners (ranging from 15-25 BGN per hour in Sofia) against equipment purchase and maintenance expenses.
Our Mission
We provide transparent cost analysis for garden maintenance decisions. Our goal is to help property owners make informed choices based on actual numbers rather than assumptions, whether they're considering hiring a gardener or purchasing equipment.
What We Offer
Our services include detailed cost breakdowns for different garden sizes, seasonal maintenance schedules, and equipment depreciation calculations. We analyze factors like fuel costs, storage requirements, and repair expenses that often get overlooked in initial planning.
Transparency
We present all costs upfront, including hidden expenses like equipment storage, insurance, and seasonal variations in service pricing.
Accuracy
Our calculations are based on current market rates in Sofia and surrounding areas, updated quarterly to reflect seasonal price changes.
Practicality
We focus on real-world scenarios, considering factors like garden accessibility, terrain difficulty, and local service availability.
Independence
We maintain no affiliations with equipment suppliers or gardening services, ensuring unbiased cost comparisons.
