Some jobs, you get more than just a payment. Sometimes you come across things that customer want rid of and you can find a use for it. Running your own gardening business sometimes has these perks.

One of my customers told me if I can get it out I can have it. It was a sailing boat 😂😝 I’ve also been given tables, a hammock, enough wood to heat my home for years the list goes on. But the boat was the best
Best thing I've been given for free……… 💰💰💰 I done really well this year for tips. 😁

Customer gave me a backpack blower this week. Needs a bit of a clean up and a service but yeah nice one 👍
Over the years plenty of cooked lunches and the occasional bottle of wine, a couple of mowers and a air rifle .
With my current client who i basically work full time for i maintain and manage around 50 odd acres of gardens i get to keep any fire wood i want, essentially i heat the house for free with a wood burner at each end of the house and the oil boiler only doing the hot water.
I also get a small Christmas thank you and a invite to the odd staff do.
Best thing that I had given to me were some plastic leaf grabbers they probably cost £5 and make picking up anything with thorns on it no problem at all no more thorns in the hands , also done a hedge for one man I know and he bought a new roller mower so give me a brand new well 6 months old mountfield mower , which I wouldn’t use myself for my buisness but now sits in the mrs’s garage so I don’t have to load my mower to go cut her grass perfect.👌🏻
I got a scarifier and Scots seed spreader, but the best was defo apple crumble from one of my regulars!
Hi mate,
Sorry to bother you but what van have you got? I just started the business but starting to grow out my touran.
Apart from two identical mowers, the best thing was a rubble mate. It's a thick, black plastic sheet that rolls up and you put in a plastic bag. It holds the bag open and so makes easy to fill. Also use for emptying pots, to keep the soil of patios, and protecting the sides of lawn when jet washing. Only cheap, about £10, but really handy. The most valuable is a cup of tea or coffee which doesn't come very often!
I was given a petrol cylinder mower just had it sharpened and serviced
I got holly and pine cones which I used for wreaths this year! Yay for your pea trellis 👏🙌💜
A cup of tea 🤣 not that lucky yet mate
May not be exciting but it's something that's saved you a few quid, and that's what allotments are all about
Recently got a garden roller.
Best thing I have got in order of excitement ?
1/ £50 tip
2/ Comfrey leaves
3/ cup of tea
4/ that’s it!
I just got a Stihl KM94 RC long reach Professional Combi Set hedge cutter and long reach extension. A Stihl chain saw and a professional snow blower all hardly used as I did his hedges and lawn 👍🏻
