Hi
A friend of ours and his mate have quoted £1000 to tidy up our garden over 4 days, based on 8 hour day(64 hours total for both), that works out to be £15.63 per hour according to my math.
Over the 4 days this will include
Re-turfing the lawn
Putting bark down for play area and doing the edging
Replacing 5 patio slabs
cutting back some bushes/trees
We will be paying for and sourcing all the materials/supplies skip, bark, etc for around £600
Is that a suitable hourly rate/quote?
Location is Leicestershire if that makes any difference

That doesnt sound like 8 man days of work but depends on the size of your garden....0

I agree it doesn't sound like 8 days of work
Can you get a couple of other quotes?0 -
Our gardener charges £15 an hour. He says it is the going rate.0
