- Gardening Business - Talking through a hedge trim using my Stihl Kombi, I talk about how I do it and at the end reveal what sort of money you could ask for. This is always my personal opinion based off where I work in the North East, UK. There are many factors that influence a price.

I’m in Cornwall and would charge £80 for that hedge including taking the waste away. As you said, allow an hour for it.
always love your honest approach to jobs and the fact you're not scared to talk about the money like some are. Helps us newbies out a lot, cheers.
Great video - more like this please! Looking forward to the season!
Spot on there mate
Sides first then top for me, 30 mins tops for a job like that, £50
I've done it in the past trying sides first but I find when you cut the top the clippings then get caught on the sides so you have to go over them again. Each to their own though 👍
@@TheGreyGardener1990yea totally mate whatever works best for you dude 👍 as long as jobs oreet when it’s done
@@blank-dr2kx definitely mate 👌
150 down my way
@@davegill7614can’t justify £150 for a 30 minute job here I’d get my ass handed to me if I asked for that
Lovely job Adam and great explanation for any beginners
Well done mate hope life’s treating you well
Thanks mate. Yeah back isn't the best as usual but apart from that can't complain haha
Great video and I would of said £60 with taken the waste away
£50 hedge, 45 mins inc tidy up.
I think like you were saying you were done in about an hour. I'm down in Essex so looking at £80 - £100
I stay clear of hedges now I hate doing them and I find them an absolute pain in the arse so this hedge would be quoted at around £250 🤣 nice job mate and using the mower to help tidy up is a great tip.
What makes you not like them? I quite enjoy these but the big ones with ladders I hate 🥴
@@TheGreyGardener1990 they’ve knackered by shoulder and back over the years if I’m honest so I stay clear now.
@@user-fv8rn4gi3x that's fair enough and I can completely relate to be honest. Beauty of running your own business 👌
@@TheGreyGardener1990 yep you can pick and choose your jobs and price, I’m lucky I have a really good list of clients who are really understanding. Have a good end to the week mate has the ground dried out up there yet?
@@user-fv8rn4gi3x it's starting too. I've only not been able to cut a handful of lawns this week which isn't too bad. Forecast looks good going into next week
Random one but do you compost down the waste? or just bin it?
Seems a really odd way of working, i always side a hedge first the cut the top, farr easier to get the top straight if the sides are tight.
I find if I cut the top first you end up with clippings on the side of the hedge so you have to go over the sides again. I've done it both ways and prefer this personally
@@TheGreyGardener1990 fair enough
50/60 totally fair, the 1 hour jobs for me have a slight premium on them, 50/60 doesn’t sound loads for the job your doing, so the customer will be happy enough as are you , I think if that hedge was 3 times as long 150/180 may seem steep, little jobs like that are the best earners, just like small lawns vs big lawns small 5 min lawn £10 vs big 50 min lawn £40
Although I’d happily mow big lawns for £40ph all day all year if I could but little ones really bump up the numbers ☺️
Does using the mower for picking up hedge clippings blunt the blade?
I’d charge £50 and £10 for waste away, try to piggy back off another bigger job so someone else is also paying for waste to take away.
I charge £40 for a van load and I have to pay £20 to get rid of it.
how long does the battery last on your hedge cutter?
Not a bad job top and 1 side? Lift the bottom clear up remove brash, yea £80 cash hour and a bit max and I'm in southampton!
Were iam only get 40 for that job
Wouldn’t get more tan 50 inc waste removal
In Preston
I’m in Leyland lol
I would of charged about £35 ,but my customers keep telling me i am too cheap.but if im happy with what i charge whats their problem.
Double your price and work from there mate, trust your pricing and know your worth. It’s your time, your fuel your equipment your business
@@blank-dr2kxThis is my 34th year as a self employed gardener,ive always charged what i would like to pay for the job required done.its worked for the last 33 years.customers are happy i am happy and no one feels ripped off.
£100 near London
I’ve just started is £25 to cheap??
If its for something like this hedge I'd say so. Or is that an hourly rate?
Grass cut plus guy would probably charge 120 for that with some bs justification....lmao
150 down my way
