Price of a lawn...

Hello,

Looking for opinions here.

I would like to know if I am the right track.

I've an estimate to do for several large grassed areas at a large country house near Dinan.

I've gone back through my records looking at similar jobs and come up with a price of 1euro per m2

The euro is almost a pound by the way.

Based on around 1000m per day for a team of 3.

This assuming that we are faced with a blank weed, stone and obstacle free canvas.

It includes rotavating, raking, rolling, seed and fertiliser.

It does not include any preparation such as the removal of the above, visits for spraying, flailing the area beforehand or hire of a tracked digger to rag out roots or decompact the soil in areas too hard to cultivate.

Many thanks

Ty

I'd say you'd be way out with that, be very careful. I don't know how much your paying for turf but make sure you've checked and got in writing a quotation for the amounts your talking about. Unloading the lorry can take forever and then getting it to your work area will take a while.

 

Having said that once your on a roll, it will go very quickly without many cuts. Be an interesting job to quote for............

Thats seems very cheap to me - work out what your materials will cost, the machine hire, any other fixed costs(rubbish disposal etc) + add labour and that will give you the job price. If the customer needs it in a per/m2 then just divide the job price by the area.
