Started a big hedge cut yesterday 500 metres in length. Managed to get both sides done in 7 hours yesterday just need to do the tops today. I was using a cheap battery hedge cutter and my god it i could tell the difference at the end of the day using it. Whats the biggest hedge you have cut and was it regular?
Depends on what it is. I use tovhave a customer who I just use to do little extra bits around the garden for free without them asking. They always looked after me so I looked after them. Usually if they say " can you just" its more than a couple of seconds. At that point it is chargeable time. An extra 5/10 minutes at one job can end up being an extra hour or 2 over the course of the day if you do it for everyone and if you don't charge then it can be some serious loss over time. I always say I can give you price and if you are happy I will do it next visit or come by another day if I have time and in the area.
Got my first couple of jobs come in. Did one at the start of last week which was a small hedge reduction, tomorrow I have a spraying job and next monday I start on a 500m long hedge cut!!! And a couple more i need to schedule in too!!!
@Stuart Clifford the big hedge job is already a Yearly cut with other work available through out the year! I will definitely be contacting customers again in a few months to keep on top of the hedge work
How does everyone price spraying weed killer? I have my licences for handling and applying with a knapsack. Never sat down and looked at the pricing as its something I wasn't offering back in england but now I want to.
@Stuart Clifford Thanks for looking Stuart, as soon as I came here I get everything sorted legally for it all which I knew was important before even looking at my knapsack sprayer again. As for the pricing I was absolutely stumped but this makes a lot of sense now!
