Question by mzflyfemme: Landscaping & how much to charge for a particular job?
I have been offered a landscaping job but have never participated in a project of this size. Anyone know if there is an average price per hour that most landscapers will charge? How can I determine how much I should charge if I want to be fair, but of course, be able to get reimbursed for the work? The job consists of pulling out and clearing some existing garden areas, replanting new plants, flowers etc and then mulching the existing areas around new plants.
I am charging $ 20 per hour plus client pays for materials and I will provide reciepts. Is this is in the ballpark?

Consider your cost just to go to the job site prepared to work: transportation to and from and to get the plants, tools, gas, work time, shopping time, disposal of trash, insurance, plus materials (which is about the only thing you can really get a handle on.)

Sit down and honestly figure your time working, gathering material and installation. Don't consider anything less than $ 15 per hour and even that's a bare bones price.

I know a thing or two about landscaping! Is having insurance that important? I have about 3 labor workers ready. ill be paying them 10$ / hr

Best answer:

Answer by stingyguru
Depends

Are you doing any spraying or using any heavy equipment! If so, yes!

Actually, yes! Get insurance. Imagine something happens to someone while your working,

Or you spray for spiders and some kid gets sick, or your worker chops off his foot...

Get Insurance!

The bbc website has a virtual garden planner - never used it but it appears to offer at least some of what you need - http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/design/

Chris Orser Landscaping: Free Ideas from our Expert Designers!

Article by Bucks County, PA; 18901; Chris Orser Landscaping

Create a lasting first impression! Make the entrance to your home or office more inviting by adding a unique walkway. Add character with winding or staggered designs that consider the use of garden accents, such as benches or a bird bath, lighting, and containers filled with brilliant colors. You could even add a small patio to the entrance of your home. Or how about a fountain, pond or a waterfall.

Adding any type of landscape or hardscape project to your home, does much more than just improve the appearance of your home. They are also well known to add value to your home. Winding garden paths can entice even the least curious of creatures, as they wind and turn off in the distance. A garden path or walkway can be simple and elegant, or very elaborate and formal, depending on your design style.

The best way to tie together your outdoor living spaces is to connect the areas with a path or walkway, inviting your guests to further explore the outdoors. Show off your treasures, by placing them throughout your property, and displaying them to get the best visual effect with additional accent lighting.
