I should add that this would include strimming of all edges and mulching. I was thinking around 2 pence per sqm but am not completely confident in my pricing on this scale.
Someone could come it at £50 or less with a big machine and be gone in less than an hour
I seem to remember some bad feedback on the timemaster on here, unless bone dry. On paper looks good. As graham says. Have a good search.
Re pricing. Big range depending on machinery used and finish needed. £160 sounds OK to me with a machine such as timemaster or a small ride-on. Larger professional machines / farming contractors would make mincemeat of 2 acres and charge a lot less.
Whats important is for you to make money on it with the machinery you have access to and price at that.
I have a 2 weekly cut and collect - just over 2 acre site, one 50m side to strim. 1m deck ride on, bit of a pain going around 50 young trees in the orchard slows things down a bit. Takes about 2/12 hours all in.
Your pricing is a bit over the going rate in my area (North Lincolnshire).
Just because another business is capable of doing the job cheaper doesn't mean that they will. Every one of my customers COULD get the job done cheaper. But they don't. That's not the point.
Thanks for the input guys, a good help. Good to know I´m not a million miles away.
