As above what the going rate people charge these days,? just done my garden , lawns and front hedge my self ,had bloke cut back +side hedges , cleaned up together .Always done my own garden for 24 yea

Yes must admit i prefer to quote for the job,and probably 95% of my work is on this basis but some folk especially if moneys tight will say can you give me a couple of hours hence the hourly rate. Li

done far worse in the past ----thinking back we must of looked a right bunch of cowboys

Used to have an old boy did ours for his beer money and a visit down the Hammers a few times a year :D .......we bought one of them ride on mowers for him to use and within a few months he,d dropped stone dead !!......Have a couple of chaps come round fortnightly now they charge 40 quid an hour and use my mower :hmm: .....I like to think your paying for their expertise as much as their labour so money well spent in my book.

Iam landscape Gardner i charge £17.50 per hr or £120 a day for general garden work ie grass cutting/hedges etc and iam cheap compared to some round my way :yes: when you take into account the machinery/fuel,van,trailer etc its not brilliant money tbh. I make most my money on sheds,fencing.,tree work,patios etc.

His ol wife even tried to put the blame on me for putting a stop to his exercise :D .....cant win with some folk i thought i was helping out.....wouldnt mind but he wasnt even a gardener just a family friend type,probably could of done it better myself but felt a bit beholding towards the ol boy...........then again you could be right i lose the will to live myself watching that shit sometimes !

I have a garden and pure water window cleaning business,i dont charge by the hour i just price to what i think its worth,but on average its around £20-£50PH that i works out at but you get a hell of a lot for the money reason i dont charge by the hour is i work too fast and almost failed in my first year been est now since 2010 and doing well.

 

We use all stihl machinery.

 

also we are CRB check and fully insured your not just paying for a service your paying for a package.

 

BIRD you wouyld be looking at £60 -£80 quid to do that bit of work exculding the waste removal.

 

Same with our window cleaning side strive for £20 plus per hour.

whats all this x amount per hour ?? don't you just quote the job ?? I was always under the impression if you pay ph then they'd drag it out but if you pay per job then they want it done to move to the next :hmm: :hmm:
