I don't want to lowball myself. This hedge is about 83 feet long and about 6 feet wide. How much would you guys charge a good client for a job like this? This is the after.

How long were you there start to finish?

How long were you there start to finish?

Other things were taken care of also, but I had a younger guy on this. He cut the hedge in about 30-40 mins. Then I'd say we spent about 20 mins cleaning that up, along with leaves under and around the hedge.

lol I was going to say a full day.

I just did a job with 2 x 60 foot hedges but 10 feet tall and each one took almost a whole day

I guess no ladder helps alot

probably charge 400 and call it a half day

 

[Rick1111]

So you had a man hour on it roughly? That’s quick as heck but more power to you. I’d say $100 to $120.

 

[Rick1111]

I consider something like this more of a specialized job it takes better equipment to do quicker and I charge accordingly as well not our normal $60/pmh

I guess it just needed a quick trim...

I got a picture here, one on left took 8 hours

One at far back middle also leylandii took 2 hours

one on right took 1.5 hours only top and 1 side, everything in picture was $1000 CAD

 

[Rick1111]

That’s seems perfectly fine price wise without me going into the currency difference.

 

[Rick1111]

If i have two guys there a full day it’s going to be close to $1500 to $1700 usd.

Really nice Mitty. Very very nice, but this is my thread.

So if you had another worker with you you'd do this for $120?

 

[Rick1111]

No I’d be $100 give or take with one worker.

 

[Rick1111]

If it took two workers that long to do that I’d be $200 to $250.

Okay, thanks. I was actually thinking $200.

I don't want to charge less because my worker works fast. He is paid salary, so when we're done, he's done.

 

[Rick1111]

$200 imo a more than fair price. Let them try to get someone else to do a stand up job on a hedge that size for that price.

 

[Rick1111]

Just for Jits and shiggles let’s say you had a machine that could do that job in 1 minute. What would you charge? I would still charge $200. It’s you that has the “machine” that can do the job not the homeowner.

I don't want feedback on my work, just comparibles for dollars and sizes/production times. Its a good one because it has 3 different hedges all in 1 picture and I know the total man hours because its from a few weeks ago.

Was your man experienced? Skilled labor--costs more.
Special tools? Hedge trimmers? Special tools most companies do not have--neither does the customer. Costs more.

I was just curious to how much you all would charge. No special tools used, but a lot of back bending and labor. Gas handheld hedge trimmer, no extension.
