Price of a lawn...

Ty, sounds good to me. We do quite alot of seeding annually on various contracts. Our rates vary between £0.65 to £1.10 depending on voulume and soil quality. 1000m2 would be at the higher end of the scale.

Acorn Milling,

I'm perfectly able to price :001_huh:and thank you for you positive comments so far the rest of you.

I posed this thread so as to confirm with my peers that I am on the right track.

I also agree that a stone burier does do the best job but for now it is a little out of our budget to buy and hard to find locally to rent.

Currently we are doing a mixed bag of tree, hedge and landscaping.

We find that diversifying in a region of low population is good sense.

Thanks again guys:thumbup:!

I would agree we would go as low as 60p m2 on 1000m2 plus provided its just seeding not shifting debris off-site (stones etc) 100m2 rate around 1.20 to 1.50 m2. Hand work sites - pedrestrian rotavators etc

 

It needs to be machine sized sites, light rotavate, multirake going like the hammers and minimal hand raking to finish.

 

I reckon you're spot on still - the rates unfortunately hasn't changed much in 10 years - only the machines get faster!
