Graham Taylor replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Hedge trimming costs

"I don't think a customer would be happy to pay £150 to dispose of the cuttings!! If its soft stuff and you can run the mower over it, you'll get it down drastically............ you might even be able to blow it back under the hedge if there's…"

"Hi Josh
I agree with everything Peter has said. You will be lucky to find something up to the job at £6k. Frankly the toro timecutters are not even close to suitable for light commercial work. That is mid to high range stiga and stihl sit a…"

"John deere was always cheapest to keep going usually around £400 per year compared to my other bits that cost about £1200 per year"

Peter sellers replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Hedge trimming costs

"We would be £450 plus vat inc disposal. "

Neil Darby replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Hedge trimming costs

"Less than a days work I would say for 1 person, so £360 sounds high. Although £40 for diisposal sounds low, depending on how much you are taking off. If say going to 6ft that will be quite a bit to take away."

Neil Darby replied to Adam Woods's discussion Help....Box caterpillar has attacked

"Whilst on the subject, but slightly off. So this week & last I have been busy clipping Buxus. Thursday afternoon 4 hours solid on a couple of double sided hegdes 30M each plus various balls & clouds. We should all know hygeine with Buxus & pretty…"

Adam Woods replied to James King's discussion Can I legally cut a Council Hedge?

"100% agreed.
Surely the worst situation is you take the trouble to ask, which will without doubt be at least 3 phone calls and an email or two. They say "no". You then have an unhappy client, less work, and the hedge probably wont be cut for another…"

MF Hodgson replied to James King's discussion Can I legally cut a Council Hedge?

"I'd go ahead and cut it and if the council want to complain you can say sorry and suggest they cut it themselves next time. In these situations it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission."

Josh Thompson replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Zero Turn Cut & Collect Mower

"It'd be mostly for areas up to 2 acres so I don't think I'd need to spend commercial ride on money."

Peter sellers replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Zero Turn Cut & Collect Mower

"Josh, think you will struggle at 6k to buy anything that is going to be up to a commercial environment. The machines listed are home owner machines really, that may or may not be upto the job, no doubt there will be readers who disagree suppose on…"
