Hi David, thanks for commenting. We all have different attitudes to what we're willing to pay for something. I'm price-sensitive on certain products/services, whilst prioritising things other than cost, with others. I'm sympathetic to the challenges of consumer pressure, however, having originally set up the business in the NW UK, I can testify that better-paying clients can be found.
Minimum wage shouldn't come into it as gardeners have overheads just as do plumbers, electricians, mechanics etc. But the average homeowner need not pay a gardener with City and Guilds certificates for someone just to do a regular mow, weed a bed or trim a few shrubs. Of course, landscaping, tree surgery or garden design all come at a greater cost where nobody would even think of mentioning the minimum wage. Everyone should at least have a minimum charge. Say someone mows and edges for client A at £40 an hour and client B has a smaller lawn which takes 15 minutes, It shouldn't mean that client B should only expect to pay £10. A reason some charge at an agreed price for the job, whether being a lawn, hedge or total garden blitz etc.
We present a number of options for green waste upon enquiry. Some of those options are cut and drop, collect and relocate to compost/green bin, or collect transport and responsibly dispose of. We find presenting these options at enquiry, empowers the consumer to make an informed decision. Thanks for the comment @Trident750UK.

Thanks for your comment Tony.
Found this to be very much lacking substance and unrelatable
Thanks for the comment CJ, feedback noted. All the best.
Green bin the waste..!!

Thanks for the comment @Trident750UK.
On those occassions where we do collect transport and responsibly dispose of, it goes to the same site that the green bins go to.
