I've had a landscaping business since 2010 and didn't find your channel until 2015. Thank you so much for all your help over the years. My biggest issue was always having the confidence to talk to customers and you're one of those genuinely honest people who talk about the small details that a lot of other people either overlook because they've forgotten what it was like for themselves in the beginning, or because they're too proud to admit their struggles. I haven't been nervous to give estimates in years now and it's mainly because of your channel. Keep it up Keith! You're a great guy.

As a old gal, Im slowly phasing out of physical work and gardening. I'm (concentrating on my work as a medical massage therapist and esthetician) I'm still doing garden and landscape consulting and design. I can't encourage enough, to prevent hassels and haggling, have a page sheet or brochure of your prices listed. it's professional and gives yourself a more legitimate image. Be sure to note fees can change due to demand and supply. I also include an asterisk ✳️(meaning prices are subjective to scope and sourcing) On invasive weeds, dumping, edging, weeding, soil amendments, soil analysis, hard water treatment, fertilizer, pesticides, weed prevention they are totally separate fees.

I"ve actually installed 3 mulch installations in the past while working for someone else and I enjoyed it. now we know how the back end works and that we need to charge seperate for prep work! great video.

I used to charge $70/yard for mulch. Based on what the cheap guy posted on Facebook. Last year I realized it wasn't worth my time and energy at that price. I raised it to $85 the customer didn't batt an eye. She checked with her regular mow guy he was charging $150 a yard. The next job went up to $95 a yard. Not an eye batt. This season I am charging $125 a yard.

I know you did a leaf clean up and gutter cleaning video could you possibly do a more in depth video ? From what I gathered over here in Muskegon mi for gutters there charging $1.00 to $1.50 a foot would you charge extra for the clean up after all the debris is on the ground or is that included that's the part I'm having trouble with

@ThisGuyWantsBeer 2 года назад

Different tiers to it. Bulk jobs get blown at $70/yrd because we can scalp and spray most beds. Regular jobs are $85/yrd most are minimal prep or existing clients Rehabs are $115-150/yrd Stone is anywhere from $250-425 a ton Edging is hit or miss, .50 to redefine, 1.15 new cut, 3.75 concrete curb or other materials. Light ropes are 8.50 and some kind of edging is recommended. Sometimes I’ll throw a redefine in for free on the regular customers. Just my pricing, maybe it can help someone else ballpark.

I may have a much job coming up but I am curious of how to charge. From what I understand the mulch would be delivered to the home so I would just be charging labor for myself. Its a 500,000 home in ohio so its pretty large, the yard is large aswell with alot of areas to mulch. I have to go get the measurements and come up with a price and I was curious of how I should go about it. Should I charge by the cubic yard and if so how much is it for labor per cubic yard? Should I charge by the hour if so how much, what if I get it done quicker than expected and I screw myself? Any info back would would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@hobbyguy79 2 года назад

What's everyone's materials costs for mulch and your location? I'm in Alberta and mine range from $25 - $65 / yard and up depending on supplier and type and some companies charge upwards of $400 / yard installed but that includes any bed maintenance and prep.

@WeykampLandscape 2 года назад

In Oakville Ontario, near Toronto. Minimum charge of $185.00 per yard plus tax. Cost of mulch is approximately $50.00 plus tax delivered to my yard into storage bins. This saves us from having to run to the supplier and we can load before we leave. Cost is basically the same from supplier or having it delivered to my yard. Minimum charge of 4 yards per property at that price. Pricing does not include bed preparation. Just installation.

If your buying the mulch your deducting the price per yard from your 100 yard price.
