Hi Nathan,
lots on pricing discussions on the BOG; it's a sensitive commercial issue, so people are more open in that forum. So maybe sign up for that.
Also, it really depends on the services you're going to offer, and whether there is any value add knowledge on products chosen for different lawns & conditions, plus things like spraying licences for herbicides and pesticides eg mandatory PA1/PA6 etc
We have fixed prices for different services for different area bands, so say up to 50sqm, then 100sqm, 150,200,300 etc.
Hi Nathan
Andrew pretty much nailed it. More of a discussion for the BOG
Why would you scarify in winter?
Yes BOG is for pro members - many people think its the best value £40 or £50 they will ever spend on their business. I've certainly had my monies worth!
Scarification in winter is very poor practice and to be avoided. Some companies do, as it suits their diary; rubbish for the lawn though.
