    This is so easy to price. Take ten 3 L pots, dig ten holes and time how long it takes to plant. Then multiply by how many plants you need to pant on any given day.

    Repeat this formula for the different pot sizes

    Then you know what to charge as every business has a different internal hourly rate which it must adhere to.

    Once this has been done and you still have more questions to answer I would be happy to help further.

    We don't work on a daily rate and prefer to be laid by the job. It is then in our interest to complete the job as quickly as possible and to the highest possible standards.

    Don't forget the time it takes to shuffle the plants around.
