How do you decide what to quote or what your rate is?

I run a small garden maintenance business outside of the US and seeing some of the prices you guys throw out blows my mind. No shade but how can your costs possibly justify up to $125 an hour? The margins must be crazy

Top end rates here are around $50-$60 per man per hour

As a gardener, please don't do this

It doesn't work

EDIT Woven membrane is great in certain circumstances with proper maintaining - this is solid plastic sheeting

Survey - what are we paying gardeners for general, all-round maintenance?

Had a wide range of quotes for regular lawn maintenance and general weeding/trimming etc. but curious what other people are paying in other areas.

Had everything from £20 per hour to £600 per day.

Large established garden based in Cumbria.

How much should I expect to pay for garden maintenance?

Recently inherited stewardship of a large garden in Cumbria. Far too much work for just me but unsure of how much I should be paying for lawn care? I will be doing rest of maintenance.

Any help is much appreciated.

Also 2 additional lawns around the other side

Edit: all of the lawns are very steep, I reckon they will each take at least 1½hrs to mow and strim

Just after a per hrs or day price for the grass

Absolutely love my new all natural marestail lawn 😍

How can I turn this into a real lawn as cheaply as possible? It's also a lovely thick clay soil full of rocks, to boot. Rather not use chemicals if I can help it. Cheers

Old heads - has big business ruined the culture?

Only looking to hear from you if you've been blazing since before the 2012 Green Rush. Before Cookies, before carts, before dispensaries.

*Not trying to get into an elitist argument*

I just wanna hear if other old potheads are noticing the same shit I am.

Fake carts are rife, synthetic cannabinoid and isolate sprays, terpene pearls, weed "brands" robbing us blind with shiny packaging, and worst of all - homogeny of genetics. Every new strain that comes out is a hybrid blendica.
