Default Re: Fair rate for a gardener

top tip: try to get regulars in same street area.. cut grass/hedges TURN UP when you say you will. tell them you will be back in 2-3 weeks depending on what customer wants. as a guide i have a 10x7mtr lawn and its a tenner to cut but i give him £15 coz he turns up when he is supposed to, its 20 mins work..

he's also a mate and in the summer he can make up to £200 a day just doing his rounds. he just cuts grass/hedges...
