It's pretty common in other industries but you would have to word it very carefully for work that is carried out before payment! If an insurance company or supermarket offers the same sort of deal it's not considered bad, but as said it could mean price wars starting and issues further down the line if a customer is that focussed on price, not quality of the work. If you quote a job at a rate that works for you, the next quote might be unmatchable too - especially with cowboy traders around. You're probably better off just offering the lowest price you can afford to start with! Do customers ever just give the price of other quotes to see if you can beat them without you having to ask/offer?

A yank's interpretation of a green man

Looks great! Bet it'll make the pub look a bit special - they must be very pleased! -
You could always hire in the machinery to save the initial outlay/contractor costs? This could be good for the mowing side of what you're doing: Ryetec PTO Flail Shredder | Acacia Equipment Hire | Sussex Probably cheaper to do it yourself than with a contractor, but its always good to compare prices and the value of the amount of your time it will take up. Also if you're looking for second hand machinery, the Pitchcare website is always worth a look - For Sale | Pitchcare Used Machinery

Always bad to hear - hope you get some good news.

Great work! Love the detail, very smooth transition from woman to tree!
-
Great pics! Bet it caught lots of attention with all the smoke!

I heard that this morning, poor guy wasn't getting an easy health ride through life. Surprising how much you can hide from people, even when you're in the public eye!
-
Love the idea of using a camper van to get into a camper van! Looks great too - must have been a bit fiddly to do the detailing! How long did it take?
-
Did you catch any of the perseid meteor shower when you were looking out or was there too much light pollution?
-
RIP Mr Williams - what a talented guy, real shame to hear about.
-
What a great piece! How long did it take to carve all in all?
-
We're fully into the digital age it seems! Do you know if it includes work activity online, or just spare time browsing? On the same tune, heard the average 6 year old has as much online/device knowledge as a 45 year old!

Has anyone been doing the Big Butterfly Count with all these great spots? big butterfly count
-
That'll be perfect for a big bbq! Nice work
-
What a great little tree - and a survivor! Shame they're building, view is lovely.
-
What a brilliant idea! Price tag is a bit much, though it would look good through the airport! If any of you make your own you'll have to stick up some pictures!
-
Haha that's brilliant! Oh to have such a simple existence... The one on the left looks a bit angry though!
-
Rather pricey - and that doesn't include delivery at $400!! Does look nice though.
-
Smart idea using carbon paper! The colour makes it stand out but love the plain ones too - nice job!
-
Acacia have a 1.2m Kubota sweeper collector that goes behind a tractor, and a Billy Goat Vacuum Collector if its any help? We're quite near you and either would do your job. The link to the equipment our website is below - just give us a call if you're interested www.acaciarental.com/blowers/kubota-12m-sweeper-collector www.acaciarental.com/billy-goat-vacuum-collector

They look great! The ears look so delicate - nice job! How long did it take you?
-
Oooh they look amazing - love the interesting flavour combos too, the red seaweed one looks great! Also the cheesy taglines with the pictures on the homepage of the site are great, made me chuckle
-
How interesting! I would keep it for the novelty, not something you come across everyday. You could always cut them down and make something out of the fused chunk?
-
Hope you're alright! Be careful - don't want that happening whilst you're operating machinery.

Man dies after going through woodchipper

That's just awful, he was only 42. Are the regs in America a bit more lax than here? Be careful out there when you're chipping!
