Costing for a bush trim!

[s.varty]

The guys lines aren't that good, he's messed up his stripes around the little tree in the middle, double dark and half light! Tut tut tut:sneaky2:

 

Obviously not using his satellite navigation system:laugh1:

But are the 2 men dwarfs and using hand clippers?

 

LOL, What if they were midgets?

Thanks for that reply.

Would have to agree 😁, I would say £50-£75 . But surely a gardener can do such a simple job tho.

That would take me 20 mins with a long reach hedge cutter and step ladders, half a dumpy bag of clippings that would take 5 mins to pick up, 1 min to blow around .£30 if there was other stuff to do, if it's a single visit then £50

 

I'd want a oner at least.

 

Up front.

 

That jobs got bother written all over it.

I wouldn't hang about much longer than an hour at the most from start to finish single handed.

And charge as much as you think you can get away with.

Think of a number, then treble it for the "hassle factor" that's written all over it. For the price you could realistically put on it, I'd probably just gracefully decline.

If that's in Germany you could probably double the hassle factor

Yes yes and thrice yes.

I shall look to see if I have any other pictures.

 

A lot of you are correct in saying that this job could have problems as at the left hand rear side, the bush has started to split open beginning to divide the bush in half.

 

I am gathering from all of your feedback that a trim and tidy up would take approx 1hour and the consensus of opinion is that the job could turn out to be a pain in the bum so perhaps charge approx £150 (175-200€) all in. I think this is sensible rather than kicking the proverbially ass out of it?!

 

Thank you all

£60-£80 depending on location. One hour with 2 men, a step ladder, a stihl HS81T and a long reach hedge trimmer for the top. Collect 95% of the clippings then blow the rest back under. Easy.
