when we use any trader, I always offer a tip, it works both ways too, traders can become complacent maybe I should do an opposite video. one for traders.

thanx pete

Sam with me 😂

oh dear

not when working up ladders lol, especially when working with the customer

@TKG Oh so you do go commando 😊👍

@@mycolliesandme268 lol nooo, but no customer wants to see my skiddy pants now do they...lol

I'd rather not have that thought thanks a lot. I'm Erasing my brain, time to move on,lol ATB👍

@@mycolliesandme268 you wont like the "like subscribe song then, I have a s a short video of this😱

@mycolliesandme268 it's one of the most infuriating things we have to deal with

@neilgreen9285 I used to use them and if they were thicker material they would be perfect. I found they ripped easier

@@TKG Yes they are weaker than the square ones I just like how easy they are I do charge by the bag to take away so does cover the cost but as you say not good for thick branches

@@neilgreen9285 I just wish they made the ones I use with the spring inside, they are a ball ache to keep open.

This is one of our few hourly rate jobs, its a flat rate, so weather weeding or pruning and shredding, its always the same price, downside is, when its a priced job, during this time of the year we generally finish earlier.

@@TKG And you're charging £90p/h ?

It depends on where you live, I know some guys charge a lot more, and charge a lot less, demographics play a big role, ere in Tamworth

@TKG Tamworth???? I'm.N.Warks....that is mental I honestly can't believe your are telling me you are charging £320+ a day each fairplay to you ....if you're full up send some my way lol Honestly I've never met anybody in this game with the half the qualifications, experience and ability I have when it comes to pruning shrubs, plant ident, planting scheme design you name it we do it. Don't know where you find them mate. I was thinking of going £50ph next year that is £200 a day each £1200 a week £4800 a month ( 4 weekly month so there are 13 of em) each as we are a partnership to avoid me paying my partner as a sub contractor and risking tax implications of her being employed that brings us just under VAT....you must be exceeding VAT limits at that price so have to charge VAT on top aswell? If I said £45p/h each to my customers I wouldn't have any and I work at big places ...people giving me 1.5k per month etc ...I've got no room on my round haven't had for 8 years I've dropped a few customers and replaced them straightaway but I still go and quote places incase they look like nice work and I can swap out I'm.going to try and ask for or base price work on £90 p/h at some.for the crqck and see what they say

@TKG And that is just weeding rates.....Tamworth aswell ....I want to go and jump on the train tracks I tell ya.....if you had said four oaks, little Aston I might of though yeah I can see that but Tamworth??? Demographics?? I wish I could post pics on here to show you some of the properties I look after.....I honestly can't get my breath. You fully qualified? ND or HND in Hort? PA1 PA6, Chainsaw ticket? Name and give cultivation notes on 99.9% of garden plants or trees you come across? I need to drive 10 minutes up the road to Tamworth lol bloomin heck £650 a day for the pair of you weeding wow

@@dannyzuccho4414 I know guys in Tamworth who charge a lot more, most of my work is flat rate, some would die laughing if I told them how much I charge for tree work, on paper it sounds a lot of money, but its not, we are barley over the 12k a year tax thresh-hold, running costs are high as you know, we don't use cheap or second hand gear, we are also one of the greenest teams, as 95% of our waste is recycled, we don't use tips if we can help it, this keeps costs down, but adds more unpaid hours to our day, honestly looking at our accounts we really don't actually earn that much, not in our pocket. what I find is that a lot of guys lie about what they earn, or big themselves up. we really don't, pricing is hard, but honestly a gardener should be looking at between 25-35 ph, remember this is not what goes in your pocket, you have expensive gear to buy and maintain, Its one of the most expensive trades to run, 5 year tickets can cost thousands if you specialize, you have to pay for this some how, one thing a lot of youtubers say which is true, NEVER sell yourself short.

@@dannyzuccho4414 not sure where your getting 650 a day from, on average its between 300-400 (on a good day) that's for both of us, we only have a couple of hourly rate jobs the rest are priced, its the priced jobs that earn us the money, as said on paper hourly looks good, but its not, hence the high price, we had a couple in four oaks, 1 in the private area, and they were originally one of our best customers, then became one of our worst, posh areas doesn't always bring in the money, our best earner is a council house in a rough area, not much money, but always pay on time, and really appreciate our work.

I have no idea, the only way I am going to know is to return it to where it came from, which is a 3 hr drive, if I take it to my local supplier, they may charge for checking it out if there is nothing wrong,

nahh the thing just struggles up any slight incline no matter how long the grass

to be honest on one of my jobs, I just went to a garden center and used theirs, (potting grit)seemed to work ok.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for, they have very good reviews

I miss your gardening vids..LEGEND!
