Mowing 500sqm lawn - price survey
Out of interest, what would people charge to mow a 500sqm lawn. It's in 3 areas, not out of control, easy strimming, good access. I'd charge £50 if weekly or £60 if every two weeks (inc VAT). No requirement for stripes, but waste away likely, though…

Approx width is about 3.5/4ft. I was thinking to dig the stumps out, but there’s about 10 of them. :-("
"Depending on the width of the hedge I would over estimate rather than under estimate the amount of waste. Confiers always seem to bulk up. Also there will be loads of dead material at the base if the hedge is quite thick. Are you hiring a stump g…"
"I'd probably price it at a day plus waste"
Evening all, looking for some advice please. Currently got a job I’m trying to price up which includes removing a row of conifers which act a hedge between the 2 neighbours. There’s about 10 stumps and the conifers are approx 10ft tall. Any advice…
"The curve and the materials are the least of the worries. The scale is the problem. When the path was originally done the edging was probably installed first and then infilled. Will be difficult to achieve such a tight job again. Easiest way is to g…"
"To maintain the privacy Dan is spot on, clear out around the bottom, expose the trunks, lift the canopy and thin it out. More light will get in which will improve the feel of the area and allow a bigger choice of plants underneath. There will defini…"

"The only thing with the husky and the echo is that the trigger looks like it could catch on something and snap off. I notice that the latest stihl long reach hedge cutters have the same sort of arrangment. It may just be me be pedantic. "

What to do with an oversized Cherry Laurel?
I have recently taken on a garden with two massive cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). They are approximately 8m tall and have 2-3 main trunks each. Client keen to retain them to keep privacy, but they are so dominating and its a dark barren wasteland underneath them. I've never really dealt with these before - could I have them cut to the ground and turned back into shrubs? If I manage to convince client to remove at least one, will need a stump grinder to deal with the roots and stump?…

Good evening All I've been running this mower, 3rd season now, and it has been my main roller mower. I don't want to badmouth the machine, it has been excellent, but.... Unusually for me, I send it to the dealer for servicing whereas I normally do most stuff myself. This is simply to not invalidate the 3 year warranty. Last Winter while being serviced, 3 cables were changed. I hadn't noticed any problem but they are not a lot so I didn't mention it. Earlier this summer the drive cable snapped…

Ideas, comments etc welcome.... A curved, stream-side path originally edged using wood planks and wooden stakes, ‘containing’ a compacted gravel path. Since created (many, many years ago) the wood edging has rotted and is disintegrating allow creep on both sides ( more importantly allowing gravel onto grass and a H&S issue ). Path is approx 350m long ( so that’s 700m of edging ) and client wants it replaced like-for-like ( ie no metal / plastic / paver alternatives ). My question is how would…
