There is minimal outlay costs in hedge cutting so anyone that can't make a profit aint doing it right.

The key to making a profit in hedge trimming is to work hard and fast.

 

"Minimal outlay cost" - you're kidding, right? We use hedgecutters that cost the same as expensive chainsaw, we use an extending hedgecutter (well, the Stihl extending pole saw but with hedgecutter on the end) to do the wide and high ones, we use a £3500 tipping trailer and £7000 tipping truck to chuck everything in (or else use the chipper to shred everything), we use more fuel hedgecutting than doing tree work, we use chainsaws/pole saws/loppers/Silkys for thinning and cutting back harder, we use an expensive blower to help clear up, we need the same money to live on as someone who climbs a tree.

 

The outlay cost to do a good a proper job is certainly not minimal. Two people for whole day gets priced close to £400 + vat (although I only ever get £100 of that meself regardless, and have to pay my own tax and NI and other expenses!!!!). Half a day gets charged at £200. BUT, we get at least twice as much done in a given time as some of the other pro outfits round these parts!
