Pricing Hedge Rows

[Maddog]

I have a question on pricing hedge rows. For example how would you price a row of headges 100 ft long 6 to 7 ft. high and 3 to 4 ft. deep?

Are there any formulas you use for this and for different hieghts?

I have several commercial trimmers. One being an articulating style that has a 54" bar and an adjustable 19" double sided cutting head.

Thanks for any info.

TRIMMING HEDGES HAS BEEN A GOOD MONEY MAKER FOR ME. SEEMS THAT AROUND HERE A LOT OF THE LAWN SERVICE COMPANIES DON'T OFFER THIS SERVICE. I OFFER THIS SERVICE IN THE LOCAL PAPER AND RECEIVE AS MANY AS FIVE CALLS PER WEEK. I TRY TO KEEP THE PRICE AT LEAST AT 40.00 PER HOUR PLUS A DUMP FEE. HAVE GOTTEN AS HIGH AS 70.00 PER HOUR FOR TRIMMING. DEPENDS ON THE CUSTOMER. YOU NEED TO FIGURE THE COST OF DESPOSING OF THE DEBREE AND TIME INVOLVED IN GETTING TO THE DUMP. IN SOME AREAS YOU CAN LEAVE IT AT THE STREET AND THE CITY WILL PICK UP THE DEBREE. IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, IT'S A GREAT NICH IN THE BIZZ. I WILL GENERALLY OFFER LOWER PRICES TO MY REGULAR CUSTOMERS AND HIGHER TO THE ONE TIME DEALS. JUST DON'T OVER PRICE, CAUSE YOU WANT THEM TO CALL YOU BACK THE NEXT TIME THEY NEED THE SERVICE.

Hello Everybody:

Because Most Folks Don't want to do it & Most Have Problems Accurately Bidding the Jobs but this a Good Money Maker! Lot Better than Cutting Grass!

In Most Cases it's Not Time Sensitive as Mowing a Lawn. So if you Don't Finish it one day, You can Finish it the Next Day!
