Well, that's opened my eyes to what I should be charging for those jobs! I've been undercharging, clearly! No wonder people have been snapping my hand off! And i do a good job (yes, they're a bit wobbly for the reasons you said, but they go all the way back) and i check for nests first. I actually feel out of a conifer hedge the beginning of the week but, thanks to years of rock climbing when i was younger, i had a good grip and caught myself before flattening next doors chain link fence and it going up my chuff. I've pulled my neck and shoulder but nothing too bad. Think my prices might go up for these jobs!
@LewisgardenservicesLtd5 ай бұрын
Price depends on the size of the hedge I guess, wages, waste and vat and all that other run stuff😅 cheers 👍

@tomthetaletellerphillips5 ай бұрын
But there's no price index or standardised pricing. I don't know what everyone else is charging so don't know if I'm undercutting or not! That's the issue I feel. I don't want to undercutting but want to offer value for money and cover my costs with a decent wage on top.

There's no way a huge hedge can be checked properly for birds nests, they do tend to hide them as best they can. Who ever did it must be amateur desperate for the money and not give a shit. They are about they'll say they can do anything, crap job take the money, not Finnish or clearing up properly you know the type, and off they go to the next house that'll be conned. Serves some people right.

This reminds me of someone who asked me for a quote to do Restoration Pruning on 3 Large, Veteran Apple Trees. They needed a lot of time and care on these. Suffice to say that she didn't like my Competitive Quote. She phoned me back 2 weeks later and asked if I could put right the mess that the Gardener with the "Cheaper quote done. Oh My Gosh, a Mess was an understatement, he/she had drastically 'Pollarded the poor Tree's to an inch of their life. I told her that they could be Restored? But would take time and a heck of a lot of money to do. She basically said l, Go Do One and accused me of embezzlement because I'm a Chartered Horticulturist 😮

Great when that happens,i was wondering Nathan after just watching your short clip on the Etesia if the chute does block in the wet,i have never used one but tempted by them,for about 20 years have always used the hrx s honda,and not that clever in long and wet.In your opinion would the etesia handle most situations.Any opinion would be appreciated.
@LewisgardenservicesLtd5 ай бұрын
I moved over to etesia from honda years ago as they just wouldn't collect in the wet and I've tried most solutions. Still use the big 21" pro honda and it's ok if I'm using but as soon as someone uses they spend more time unblocking it. Bought my last honda in 2012 and regretted it the same week, a 19" pro hydrostatic one. The Etesia will block but it's chute is low and wide so gives to the best chance of it doing well in the wet. 36ish kgs too so pretty light. If owner operator you'd easily get 8/ 10 years out of one. Mine take a hammering and these ones are into their 5th season
