    I thought I would have a go at posting some pics. Here are some photos of my front/back lawn. The back lawn is sapphire buffalo and the front is a mix of sir walter and kikuyu. I cut the lawns with a 17inch scott bonnar cylinder mower.

    Here's a recent one I remembered to photograph. I really wanted to take them for the young owner to show him how he'd let it go and how good it can look with a bit of care etc.

    4 more.

    I'm a visual person I'd rather see it than hear about it.

    In the interest of sharing and adding value to all (hope my client doesn't mind), $240 took 6 hours, 12 garden beds, two yards, one nature strip, 11 garden bags of grass and weed. (Time includes round trip to the tip.) Did it solo and had to apply raincoat twice.

    Biggest PITA was beside those 3 planter boxes, brush cutter wouldn't even fit between them and fence, bad design! Tip fee... wait for it $3.80! got charged $15.30 the very next day for 12 bags.

    You're right RBM, client has a mower but no snipper etc, naturally offered appropriate service for future.

    $240 / 6 = $40 per hr. No where near enough IMHO

    just got to look back a page to see andy b has made more per hour on another job. it's just sometimes you can get a quote right other times not so.

    but if quoting an hourly rate of $40 i'm with bluey here, it's not enough.

    cheers
