Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
The primary factors influencing cost are the number and size of shrubs, their height, the complexity of the trimming task (e.g., intricate shaping), and whether cleanup and haul-away services are included. Accessibility of the plants also plays a role.
Many contractors find success offering a per-job estimate after an on-site assessment, as it bundles all costs and provides a clear price for the client. However, breaking down costs per bush ($15–$20) or by hourly rates (e.g., $131.83 per hour for two workers) can be useful for internal calculations and justifying your quote.
For premium services or extensive jobs, always factor in the time, labor, and disposal fees associated with hauling away trimmings. Clearly state whether haul-away is included in your quote to avoid misunderstandings, as it's a significant value-add for clients.
Yes, hedge trimming, especially for long or tall hedges, often falls into the higher end of the premium range, typically between $203 and $248 per job, due to the specialized nature of the work and the volume of material to be trimmed and removed.
To stay competitive, conduct thorough job assessments, clearly define your scope of work in quotes, accurately account for all labor and operational costs, and consider offering tiered service options to meet diverse customer budgets. Being transparent about your pricing structure builds trust.
