FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I bill a straight dollar-per-hour fee, from $35-$50/manhour, based on thesize and complexityy o f the job. If I bring in another contractor, you pay him dierctly. I do not mark up my materials; you pay my wholesale cost, including tax. I give a 7% off-season or early-season discount. I will give you a dollar amount that we will nit exceed and that orice will nit change unless the project changes.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started gardening in my 20s, veggies and edible flowers, for my own table. I discovered that there's nowhere I'd rather be than in the dirt. And here I am, still a grubby urchin at 53.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Full lawn removal to xeriscape. Small bed redo. Full property refresh before a wedding or graduation. I love small projects, the ones the big companies won't even look at.
