Can you imagine i offer free quotes, other companies want paying for their time.
I then take the time to reasearch materials at good costing as we know material prices change all the time and with the cost of diesal and living everything is going up and then i put together quotes.
To then recieve responses back telling me:
1- my price is too high
2 - can i do it any cheaper
3- telling me it wont take me as long as i have priced my working hours for (im a 1 man band)
4 - can i spare on certain materials
For me to do my job i pride myself in quality and professional work to be proud of. I have to travel, i have to make a earning to live.
I wish i could complete jobs on a low budget people think its going to cost but the reality is there is so much to landscaping then just laying a patio or turf. The prep, the disposal of materials everything to it takes time and does cost and not everything always goes to the orignal plan there will always be extras and changes.
Please be mindful when wanting to respond and tell me all of the above, its hard being self employed but i love what i do and what i create.
Thanks
