for landscaping? £25 an hour so £175 for a 7 hour day, I would say we are mid/top end. I charge more for design and have an hourly rate for gardening. I charge VAT on top too, which I would have thought the guy in Fulwood would too if he is charging those rates. I also charge more for design work. To be honest in the last 6 months I tend to be working off site as I have so many projects to design and cost and sort out suppliers and also plants, etc., I try and do 2 days a week on a project or in a garden a week, sometimes it is more, but really it needs to be 2 maximum, preferably 1 so I can do all the other stuff. Fortunately I have a really good team who work for me.
Edit to add I charge £30 an hour for me for gardening and more for design. No one has ever baulked at that.
