How much does a UK gardener earn. Let’s talk money. 

Thanks for watching and your comment Claire. Good luck with your business. Let me know how you get on. 👍🏻

Thanks Robbie, great advice. That’s something we could all learn from and do better. The first working day of January 2022, all my prices are going to be reviewed, 80% will be going up and customers notified. If I lose a few , so be it. Thanks for watching and your comment.👍🏻

I had a client like that recently Robbie, turns out he's a professor at Birmingham university on over £100, 000 a year. I tried explaining to him about the value I would bring to his garden, my 25 years of experience, public liability, etc. He just glazed over, so I said thank you for your time, but your not for us, onto the next one.

Hello Carl. Only doing a Sunday whilst I manage the new commercial contract. In a few weeks that will be done on a Wednesday, after all pre booked one offs are complete. Next season I will look again at the working week. Thanks for watching and your comment.

All the best Carl.👍🏻

Good for you mate. Ex military myself , if you need anything, email me.👍🏻

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices Cheers buddy. I’ve been running my gardening part time now for over a year and I was all for petrol kit only. I don’t know if you’ve tried them yet, but battery hand held hedge trimmers are so good. I’ve put all my petrol to retirement as my Stihl battery kits run all day and so much lighter for the old shoulders and arms. If you’ve not already given one ago I highly recommend it buddy.

Thank you, appreciate your kind words.👍🏻

Thanks for watching Gav. All the best with your new business.👍🏻

Thanks Allan, it’s a consideration.

Thanks Adam, appreciate your comment.👍🏻

You certainly have. Your content is very close as is your thumbnails. Must be a coincidence.

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices Hi mate, similar I guess but I do lots of videos on my allotment as well. I have videos on schedule for the next few months so they've all been filmed and completed well in advance. So yeah, big coincidence on this last video as I completed that particular one a few weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

Good luck with your channel and business, I wish you every success.👍🏻

Thank you . 👍🏻

Thanks for that, a great comment that we can all learn from. All the best.👍🏻

If your good at something then don't under pay yourself and like you said if the customer don't want to pay then just move on to another customer

i have just started again after 10 years away. i do more than lawns if you add more to what you can do then you can earn alot more. i do the odd tree a week that adds on anywhere from £200-4k for a tree. hedges and ladder work is alot more in general i work 4 hours a day 5 days a week and take home over £200 in those hours i have worked as little as 2 hours and have made £3k its all about the right tools for the job and doing it efficiently and having the right training to do more than just lawns. I have one guy that does lawns for me and during the summer i aim for £400 a day as i get £250 for him going out as well as me working other jobs. There is plenty of ways to make more money than just lawns. A general garden clearance is £200 for a single man £350 for a 2 man team its all about pricing and knowing what job is worth what. I can do pretty much anything so i am lucky but you guys could make alot more with a few tickets. Bit of landscaping building sheds. I do planters mud kitchens all sorts just fill you're time with stuff that will make money i work 70 odd hours a week and have 3 kids so im always busy but i have paid off my house within 6 years but working this like so ill be able to chill soon and let people go work for me. Not bad going for someone thats only just started again for a years work. Not saying area but most weeks i am for £1500-£2000 i do alot of jobs. During the peak of last summer i wasn doing closer to £4500-£5000 a week with a 3 man team it easy done. Find old folks homes but they wont want petrol tools and same as contract work they dont want petrol tools and want to see all you're tickets for each tool. So the way i do things is advertise i have silent tools and the amount of calls i get is unreal cant keep up. Need about £5k-£6k for a decent bat set up that will last unless you're just a little solo guy then go for a lower range

do you charge by the job or by the hour? i feel like i could make a lot more if i charged for the job but i dont know if people will be mad that im only there for 30-40 minutes. im getting good customers who are always pleased with the results I just dont know how I can physically break past 100 a day without charging £20+ per hour which will just put me far too expensive in comparison for my area.

@@jackrbaugh5813 I have had 6 months experience working for a comapny and in my opinion, charging for the job is best, when you frist get 2 a garden you will probably spend more time getting the garden 2 a standard you like, then from after the first few times of going you would learn the garden and cut the time down.

Thanks very much. All the best.

Thanks Tony, appreciate your comment. All the best.👍🏻

That’s outstanding, congratulations. All the best.👍🏻

Thanks for watching and your comment, it’s great news that you already have staff. All the best.👍🏻

Thanks for the comment Trevor, I hope you are able to keep fit for years to come. Keep fighting and making your mums lawn look beautiful. All the very best.👍🏻

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices - Thanks Rob, there’s nothing better or more rewarding than standing back looking at a job well done. Wether it’s a very large garden or a tiny one, if it’s done with passion and commitment it can give you all the pleasure in the world!! Enjoyed every one of your videos.

Thanks again Trevor.👍🏻

Thanks for watching and your comment. Good luck with your business. Let me know how you get on.👍🏻

Thanks Andy, I will try it.👍🏻

Michael your so right. Large two hours lawns for £50. You need to recover then drive to the next one. Small £25 lawns are where it’s at. 👍🏻

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices exactly mate , my tiny lawns just strim, mow and blow are my best ones no more than 20 mins each , granted they have to be close together to get this kind of money , similar principal to window cleaning , not a big sum of money but it's the amount you can knock off in one hour and closeness ect , I'm only in my second season and pricing and timing has been my biggest headache tbh , slowly coming together for me , like emerald bren has commented in the section , it takes at least 5 years to get really profitable and slick , totally agree with that

Thanks for watching and your comment. Good luck with your business.👍🏻

Me too! I work in a bank and it's stressing me out. Wanted to do Landscaping/gardening for about 4/5 years now! Going for it in spring, but not looking forward to 'disappointing' my family by having an unstable wage. Gulp! (I'm 53 too!)

@@JohnM... How did it go? Are you still starting out soon? I’m 31 and felt the same, I left a well payed chef job to work in an office but the life doesn’t suit me. I’ve wanted to be an outdoor worker for years now, this year is when I will make the plunge. Do what makes you happy, in the long run your friends and family will be great full for that. To spend time with a happier man than a stressed man, a pleasure to be around no doubt. Go for it. Everyone needs to do what makes them happy and not just work for ‘the man’ they could replace you in a matter of days no doubt. Be true to yourself. I’m going to

Thanks for watching and your comment. The new side line was lawn treatments. All the best.

Thank for the comment and good luck with your business. My van fuel and mowers etc is about £150 per month.👍🏻

Apart from the van, I think you should be able to get your tool kit under £500, for Mower, Strimmer, Blower and Petrol Edger, I would buy quality 2nd hand to get you started. I'm not sold on the battery equipment, can the battery last doing 5 gardens a day.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Jules, appreciate your comment.👍🏻

Thanks for your comment, appreciate it.👍🏻

14 hour day for £11-13 an hour was the Pinnacle of your business. STARMAN!!😃

Really pleased for you Matty, good luck with your business and continued success.👍🏻

What's your other job? Is it related to gardening? Just curious

@@natoyle no its not related to gardening. I'm a night shift manager at a Cold Storage & Distribution Centre

Carn the Aussies 👍

Thanks Geoff. It always great to hear from you . I hope your back up and running. It’s not a ride on, there isn’t the work in my area to take the risk. Watch this space. Take care. Rob.

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices mate with all those big properties lol yeah I hear ya Rob ..it’s a hard act to get we have the big boys with cheap rates based on volume to compete with .. I am lucky to have quality customers and do a fair bit of sitting on my bum lol . I do admire you girls and guys with limited seasons we are lucky to be able to work 52 weeks of the year ( apart from lockdowns lol )It’s so different conditions but hey we are self employed gardeners that love our life .. thanks Rob

Thanks again Geoff, lots of time to move up the ladder, ie to the ride on team.👍🏻

You make a fair point. Thanks.👍🏻

You sound a bit " BITTER " ... pardon the pun lol ,

Thanks for watching and your comment. You tube pays nothing. I haven’t received anything yet. I think I might get £20 per month. I don’t do affiliate links, tee shirts, or promote crap tools. I need to sleep at night. All the best.

Great comment, something to think about.👍🏻

Thank you . I was bought up not a million miles from Mansfield. Good luck with your business.

Thanks for watching George, tell your friend to increase his prices by 10 percent. There ate lots of busy cheap people around. All the best.👍

Hello Ken. I have genuinely thought about it, however that crap pole you have isn’t cheap. Watch this space. Keep you great videos coming. All the best.👍🏻

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

Sorry it’s not that.👍🏻

Thanks Mark.👍🏻

Thanks for that. I may try it. All the best to you.

how old are you james, im starting to ache now at almost 40.

Thanks for watching and your comment. Good luck with your business. All the best.

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices thanks mate, aiming for bigger gardens and been lucky in the first 2 so far. One was a distant customer with a small garden, I stuck with from the early days when you travel anywhere for work. 3 years on, they move into a house with a humongous garden which will give plenty winter work

Cheers Gary , I agree with you.👍🏻

Very well said Allan..

A great comment, enjoyed reading it. Thank you 😊.👍🏻
