It pays better for us Conor.

 

We all hate it, and it’s physically harder than climbing, if you’re a savvy climber, so we charge more.

 

We have the kit to blast through it a lot quicker than a £15/hr gardener, and charge accordingly.

 

It’s still shite though.

I'm far from a savvy climber if I'm to be honest. And far from 15 an hour too, thankfully! 

Luckily I enjoy hedge cutting, well I enjoy seeing the results of a good job.

No way I'd ever get the same money as a "big day out" with all the kit but that means less expenses too. I use the mewp whenever I can, even on lower hedges, just so I'm not moving ladders all afternoon.

It's the raking up that gets me.

Yes, I hate it because you can’t bodge or rush it, there’s no fancy tricks that can save you a load of time like cutting trees.

 

 

50% upfront, then give a local agri contractor with a flail half of that to butcher it and off you ride into the sunset!

I love a bit of hedge cutting, but you have to do it for the right type of clients. Sod having to tame 100m of conifer hedge. Give me a nice formal garden in which I can spend the day tidying everything up and 'rounding over' some nice tight yews, privets, box and viburnum and I'm happy as Larry. 40 or 50 quid an hour and all you need is an HS 82 and a step ladder. I still do some of this type of stuff now, just because it's nice to get out doing something.
