So a job like that, you would be looking 200 plus up here. However there is now a group of new guys running around and doing any job in any conditions for £100 around my end, granted customers are right pissed off after, but still killing them good one of jobs

Sometimes it's probably better to go in just a bit higher with the price when quoting. If it gets done quicker with not much hassle then . Then knock it down a few quid. Everyone ends up happy and it would be good for your business. Dad 👍🍺

Id have charged 300 for a set price job here in norfolk. Iv underpriced loads of times though it happens occasionally. If shes happy and u get repeat work then it was well worth it

[@amwartwork]

for b ig jobs you should charge hourly rate. to be fair. not like grass cut plus, figures out how much time itl take, then adds on half of that time in hourly rates worth.

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Pricing can be one of the most tricky parts sometimes the only thing that slowed us down was the water pressure on the jetwash otherwise we might have done it in 2.5 hrs which is what I estimated I was experimenting as I’ve done big jobs on hourly rates and set price before I like brads channel I watch his stuff too

[@pauljames9393]

I start at 7 and more jobs in the day then more cash. You need regular clients when you first start(twice a month), which means regular flow of cash ! ....... A big hit one off job do an all in price which should be within your regular clients rota. I once over priced a Job by at least 100% because I didnt want it, and the person hired me. Be cheeky on occasions but finish on a top notch result. -------------- HEDGE CUTS IS WHERE THE CASH IS !!! ----------------

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

I’ve got two I do in sept in one day that’s a good £1500 for that days work so your right great money in hedge work

Hi Pete another great job as always 👍 Two and half hours you said on someone comment is that double you and big Alan were there for two and half hours? I love doing jobs like that.

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

We wanted to do it in 2.5 hrs as we had agreed the set price of £200 however the jetwashing slowed us down alittle but that’s all good we had fun and the new client is lovely and that’s a big part of what we do We like to try our best to keep the clients happy

[@MrMatthew87]

How do you deal with the weeds between the monoblock as impossible to get all the roots out, so they just grow back in no time? A usually just blast all the hard standing with weedkiller and then come back and clear it all once died with the strimmer

[@farmermatt2]

Hi there in this video how many hours in total including your friend And can you show what make and model of gear you use cheers

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Half a day at this job 4 hours 8 man hours ish We use the Honda Izzy and hayter 48 mowers Stihl combi was the battery kma135R with attachments we run the AP200 and AP300s battery’s The pruners were einhell and are amazingly powerful the best on the market in my opinion and the battery lasts ages The jetwash was a karcher K5 quite basic The weeding tool was a Kent and Stowe razor hoe Hope that helps buddy
