Cutting grass is a decent wage I get from a rich farmer doing his headlands it's not the same as tree work which I'm hoping to do more of !
-
What price is fair for days work then for myself and my friend who helps?
-
I thought I shouldn't charge too much as I'm a beginner and want to get clients, after reading a lot of posts I will be certainly charging more !
-
Bought the JD as saved some money to start all this business and saw on eBay at a god price so purchased it !
-
I'm really sorry for causing arguments with all this all I wanted was some advice as I'm being straight and honest and it seems I keep annoying a few of you!
-
What's FUBAR .... I seem to be irritating a few people on here so I up just want to say I'm sorry and maybe talking to just stop getting people irate ...I'm being completely honest and only wished for advice not cause arguments
-
Dad is successful but I want to prove to him I can do things for myself
-
My PL does cover tree work and I didn't think I had to have employee insurance if he works for himself bit helps out on jobs
-
If we do a job together we split it down middle i have been charging £150 for and him !
-
The climber/arborist uses his kit if this helps......I really am avoiding talking to dad as I want to do this myself without always going to him...independence is a massive thing to me even though it might seem hypocritical me turning to you guys for help and I'm very grateful for your help!
-
I didn't think I was being cheap but you have got me thinking I definitely need to increase price !! I just don't want someone who works for me to quit working for me as he thinks or knows I'm getting a better deal or cut from it!
-
I'm lost
-
Sorry what's daft? I'm a not lost
-
Do web designers cost a lot??
-
I haven't put 50k into it I've put money in but no where near 50k, I wasn't saying to Richard I haven't put 50k in to this
-
I pay the bloke half what I earn out of the job because I want to be fair!
-
I certainly don't know a great deal about business I'm 23 and got a long way to go and learning the ropes will take time and that's why I'm asking for advice!
-
I wasn't saying your the negative one sorry if it came across that way. I employ them on piece work as they have full time jobs too! Where do you get websites done I'm not clever enough to do one and I want to go full time gardening but it's not established enough and haven't got enough work coming in to warrant quitting with dad. Dad pays me a decent wage, I want to be independent but a lack of private jobs means I'm left with about 3000£ I make from private jobs! I want to make good money some how !!
-
Ok fair enough.... Wasn't trying to be rude or annoying ! I take it your a contract grass cutter? I also have a flail and pickup and they do cost a bit forgot that but !
-
Vespasian ....a positive person on here !!! FINALLY! Thanks ... Internet site I want to do but isn't that really costly
-
Milling seems good for oaks, the Hardwoods furniture buyers would certainly buy it, firewood, chippings, cut your own, loads of possibilities !
-
I mean I have a John Deere 1026R most attachments, brand new hayter, mulch John Deere, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, pole saw, hand tools, blowers, collectors, log splitters, and I can't say I have spent anything near 50k. Sorry to be blunt but I'm not following
-
What equipment for 50k?
-
I hate to be nosy and sorry if this seems rude but 50k what have you got for that?
-
I always want to increase my work load.... And I buy quality tools so I hope they last !
