mulching yet again

[JOhanthegnarler]

So i have a lawn customer who has tons of beds... he asked for a mulch quote.. i don't think he's ready to see the bill for 20 yards of mulch :( any ideas on how to make this job come through?

But i mean what do you expect when you have one bed on the long end of the property that runs 170 ft. x 4 ft? Not including all of the massive beds in the front... and the few stragglers in the back.

Had a lady who was a realator call me saying she needs a bid for 10 yrds of mulch and edging of all her beds.

I show up and say its more like 20 yrds to cover all your beds. I tell her for the mulch and edging its going to be 2200$. She almost shi* her pants. She was puzzeled and couldnt believe it took 20 yards. I never got a call back.

People just dont know what things really take. and when they find out they dont want to fork up the money even know they have tons of it.
