Hedge trimming quotes
Discussion
As others have said, it will be the disposal costs (and the time/fuel driving to the disposal) which add a chunk on.
My gardeners just cut one section of hedge at a time over a few weeks each time they come to cut the grass, and somehow manage to stuff the cuttings into my two green waste bins, so no disposal charges, thankfully.

Unless disposal is half.
Equipment? They already own it

Hello all
Had 2 x quotes come back for hedge trimming and removal
As a guess. 50m worth total
First quote. 600 cash
Second. 700. " but includes waste disposal "
Ive done it before. Not very great but it was half a day max
I assume they just dont want it
Paid £700 last year for 60 meters to be lowered by 2-3ft and cut back, took a full day and it seemed about the right price to meHad 2 x quotes come back for hedge trimming and removal

When you add all the costs up whoever is running that business is not clearing much money

Yeah……but the guy who came to do some tree work for me (for £1400 for a just over half a days work) spent half an hour telling me about how he was looking at buying a helicopter. Vehicles

I don’t begrudge them a living at all but let’s not pretend it’s all eaten up by costs and that only a fraction is profit. They’re charging what they can get away with (and fair play to them).

Guess the director contractors at my place aren't earning enough.
Have started cutting it myself.
With these prices they deserve to be booked and cancelled so they lose a day from everyone
