Hi everyone,

Please tell me, how much would be fair - but max - to pay for de-weeding job of layered with gravel small back yard (in Glasgow).

My neighbour says we need to pay £60 total - is that a fair price?

Here is a picture:

    Sorry about the picture not showing at first...

    I am looking but..not so many keen ones around, it seems.

    I am checking because he turns up at my door wanting more and more money each year. First it was £35, then it was £45, and this year he claims is £60. Sounds much to me, to be honest - I think it's mate.
  • £60 is too much I am sure someone will do that for about £20

    Can't you get a bit of weed killer and do it yourself. Won't take too much tidying when everything's died off.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
