Example recommendation · Hedge cutting, LS15
What TN noticed about the job
This job and your number
What this job needs to carry for your business: at least £101.82–£105.15, before the items not pinned down yet (hedge trimmer sharpening).
At £225 it carries £195, after the waste and materials this job pays for directly. That’s £89.85–£93.18 over the current floor.
Why this price
Based on 15 completed hedge cutting jobs, including 7 validated. The most extreme rates at each end were set aside, leaving 11 to set the price, using a median net labour rate of £60/person-hour, adjusted for difficulty, customer type and waste removal.
Customer-ready wording
“Thank you for your enquiry. I’d be glad to carry out this hedge cutting job for you. Please get in touch with any questions.”
The figures are a real TradeNavigator result for a sample hedge-cutting job. The customer wording is illustrative.
Built by a working gardener
I’m Luke Garside. I’ve run LJG Garden Services in West Yorkshire for more than 10 years, and I still price and do the work myself.
I built TradeNavigator because pricing gardening jobs often has no obvious answer, and getting it wrong can mean leaving money on the table or losing the job.
Working gardeners have already used it on real jobs. In one case during testing, a gardener’s instinct for a pyracantha hedge prune was about £75. TradeNavigator suggested about £106. He quoted £106 and the customer accepted.
That’s one real example, not a promise, but it’s exactly the kind of pricing decision TradeNavigator is built to help with.
