EARNINGS as a gardener. How much can you earn as a gardener? In this video I discuss the potential income you can generate as a self employed gardener. I am a one man band and run the business myself. I don’t employ staff and work 99% of the jobs on my own. If you are prepared to work hard, you can earn a solid income.

Get into small trees and hedges earn a load I get 500 a day everyday 10 mile radius and I’m only in a little town in the midlands
Hi Adam I do grass hedges weeding patio cleaning
I’ve started doing small tree work and massive hedge reductions great fun
I also did two turfing jobs last year and it wasn’t as scary as I expected
Fencing I would avoid tho 😂
Nice little chat mate
Hi mate ,
Just like to say thanks for inspiring me to start my own firm, been apart of a tree crew for 7 years and finally took the plunge thanks to your videos.
Keep up the good work hope it gets warmer for us all soon 👍
I try to be as diverse as possible. I love the landscaping side if thing. im also very interested in getting my chainsaw and climbing tickets. Its your business and the sky is the limit. Fence is good to. But i love chainsaws and being an ex digger driver I shine at the hard landscaping side of thing. Also they are a great earner and while there are fewer big landscaping jobs about there the best earner and the easiest jobs to score in my opinion.
360 quid is good going mate. Great vidoe, keep the informational videos coming.
hi
when you charge 20 – 30 pounds every two weeks does that include all of the hedges and weeding as well or do you add more on top for that kind of thing? like if a hedge was too time consuming for that low price
Hi great vedeo , how to work on regular basis ? Got some clients that want regular basis then they just want every month or more , how deal with clients for regular basis? Thanks
That feeling when you go to quote a job, don't want to do it, so you put in a ridiculous figure, but get it. Made up that £300 is coming in but hate the fact you're going to be sore the next day. My average is about £150 a day but that's going out at 10 and back at 4. It's enough for me and I don't flog myself to death. I pick and chose my jobs. And all my customers that want weekly or two weekly are great. Great honest video, something which is lacking in most vids. Hope you pick up some easy money earners and get that Mercedes!
I never used to work by the hour unless I was painting fences. Anything else was by the job. I don’t work for myself anymore but I didn’t like not knowing how much I was gonna earn that month. It fluctuated too much for me. It’s not that easy for everyone to land in that good pocket of local work either
I have always saved up for winter, at first it was for a van, now its for weather and low work, I think many underestimate how winter can impact a gardening business. and youtube and social media can put a false perspective on things, and you start asking why they are doing well and your not.
Watched you on the big t.v Adam, I have only got one comment for you
Show me the money
Mate, good video enjoyed it , got me clicking 👍
Have a great week ,Dont work to hard its only JANUARY
Steve
After doing my own round for years before moving into landscaping i worked for somebody 8 till 4 and did a garden or 2 on the way home so bumpedy wage up 100-200 a week which paid for shiny tools🤣and takeaways so still gained nothing
Do you do many now blow and go jobs ?
If you can get the right sort of gardens and a tight route on your own you should be able to do at least 10 gardens yourself a day at say £30 a cut £300 a day.
I try set myself a target in busy season of the least amount of money I make a day and try keep to it.
Great video mate
Thank you for sharing. I am fixed by hourly rate because I find it fair for both client and myself. I don’t do trees or cut more than 5 feet hedges. All my customers have their own designated bins because I’d not take waste either.
Do you get all the jobs you price ?
In Limerick Ireland the min rate would be 250 plus vat per day per min on an hourly and priced work you’d want 300 per man per day minimum also
Am in my 19th yr of being a gardener . Mainly on the hr rate but when hedges and small trees involved i then give quotes. . But i have the same people each wk . Most being working for since the start unless they really piss me off lol 😆
Hello Sir,how can i reach you on private message please
For fortnightly customers do you take 2 payments in a 4 week period or just 1 payment every 4 weeks?
Hi guys i just give out around 1000 leaflets and nobody called back in a week is that normal
when you consider a general builder whos really good, has to do alot of calculatioins, phone calls, deal with fire regs, pickup tonne bags of stuff if neeed, pick up timber,. knowledge of decent timber and charges 30 quid per hour then i find a gardener charging 30 an hour is weird. im a gardener too. and a builders labourer and i charge 15 per hour. for both. AND i bring my own tools AND i graft,
Any other app you recommend app from next door
'potential income' might mislead some people, that £200 a day also has to pay for business costs like fuel, liability insurance, equipment and maintanance, van costs, accountant costs, then NI contributions which are different to an employed person.
is this mirror image?
