@@mikegaynor9406 Thank you Mike mate, means a lot 😊👍🏻

Thank you so much for watching.. so now you need to price for what you’re worth mate.. we don’t need to be greedy nor sell ourselves short, just make a living with a little bit to cover holiday, sickness, and tools etc. Keep going 👍🏻👍🏻 JP

@@scottrobertson5554 thank you very much for the kind words, really appreciate it. All the best to you too JP 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, that means a lot 😊

Thank you mate, ah that sounds cool bud.. it’s all about making the most of the space you have. All the best with it 😊 JP

@@TheJDWay Thank you mate, hope you’re keeping well.. I enjoyed this job. Got some camp outs planned for next year also so should be a nice mix of stuff on the channel going forward. Take care JP 😎👍🏻

@@thisnthat6972 I don’t, it’s bagged up and I’ve got a bloke who comes and removes it to the tip for me, all fully licensed and insured. It just means I only have to turn up, do the job and go 👍🏻

@@tracybaker8089 thank you so much, really appreciate the work and the hospitality 😊 Have a lovely weekend 😎x

@@conormunro Cheers mate, top man. I’ve subbed you too 👍🏻 Have a great weekend JP 😎

Thank you mate, a tough day but worth it for a happy customer 😊 Have a great weekend bud 👍🏻

@@thesmithsfamily1901 Thank you mate, I would say no regards the tiller on solid clay mate.. it’s fantastic in loose material but hard clay would be a problem. Just gotta smash it up best you can unfortunately unless you hire a bigger one mate. All the best JP

Yeh, thats what I thought! Thanks for sharing your exoriencd mate! Loving the vids. Keep up the good work!

@@MattCooper10 Hi mate, I would get some flyers or business cards made up and post around your local area and local shops etc. then share it on social media also. I have a Facebook business page for example. Once you start working and posting pics of what you have done for others, word gets around. Don’t worry about being full time employed either, that’s a good thing while you build up your customers and profile. Wages still coming in are needed whilst you do all this. Depending on what type of work you want to do, this dictates your sales drive and pitch.. for example I specialise in garden clearances, lawn management and landscaping so I Taylor my adverts and socials around that. Best of luck with it mate 👍🏻

@@JP_livingthedream Thank you very much for the advice, I will be specialising in lawn cuts and shrub and hedge pruning

Thank you so much mate, you are a top supporter of the channel and it means a lot 😊👍🏻

Thank you so much pal 😊👍🏻

Thank you, appreciate that 😊 JP

You also have to think about the winter months where work drops significantly, also holidays and sickness absence etc so I make sure I earn enough to cover all of that without being too greedy as that’s when you start to lose work. I guess everyone has different ideas and needs etc so it’s just finding a balance really to ensure you are earning a decent living and have some put away for when you don’t or can’t work. Appreciate the comment All the best 👍🏻 JP

That's true regarding winter work, it's why I want to o do garden work alongside another job until I'm fully settled and confident in it. I know it has ups and downs. I took prefer the clearance jobs, easier for a customer to see what you've done. Great vid and thanks for the reply.

@@robertreader6539Yeah I also have other work which Greg’s me through winter when the garden work drops off. No problem mate, hope it’s helped a little and good luck with it yourself 👍🏻 Cheers JP

@@adrian_dickinson Hi, they are just from Amazon or Screwfix and yeah they do t he job and hold everything pretty well 👍🏻 All the best JP

@@Martin-p8v6r Hi mate, I think my price to clear all front borders there was £180 plus waste away so £220.. the mares tail is still an ongoing treatment when I cut the grass every fortnight. Cheers JP

@@EthanBlake-fh3mg I get a lot of enquiries through social media on local community groups in my area.. people spread the word for you and nominate you when people are asking for garden works to be done. I do have flyers and business cards but I’d say social media supplies 80% of my work 👍🏻 All the best JP

@@cathgoulbourne8301 Hello, thank you for you comment 😊 Yeah border works can be tough but if you have the tools for the job it makes it easier. I use a tiller a lot of the time to get in and turn soil over and then weed by hand once everything is loose. In relation to pricing I always show the customers my previous before and after photographs and advise them that although this first visit will cost a little more, once on top of the borders, the future visits will cost a lot less. I never give an hourly rate, just a visit charge. Hope that helps it if you want any further help please feel free to ask 😊 All the best JP

Hi mate, thank you for watching. Yeah it’s a good tool but it’s not like a full on rotavator/tiller.. but for compacted stuff I just loosen it slightly with a spade and then send this through is and for its size it’s very impressive and has saved my back a lot of pain. Well worth the money.. for the big compacted stuff I use my mantis but for general border work this is great 👍🏻 All the best mate JP 👍🏻

@@letsgetdigging7418 Thank you, have also subscribed to your channel 😊 All the best JP

Sorry, who said I did?

@@JP_livingthedream You misunderstood what I meant , battery hedge cutters , strimmers etc are the better way to go IMO

@@scottranger1767 fair play mate, I get that 👌🏻 All the best JP 👍🏻

@@andrewsflicks7920 Thsnk you so much.. I figured I’d share the things I’ve learnt so others can hopefully not do what I did lol 😂 Really appreciate it mate JP

@@unclesimon1179 And thank you for watching 😊👍🏻

Thank you very much mate, really appreciate it 👍🏻👍🏻

Agreed mate 👍🏻

Hey thank you so much for the sub and for watching. Yeah pick ups are great for gardening but obviously having expensive machinery on the back is a risk when on jobs etc but there’s no denying that for chucking stuff on and tipping waste etc they are great. I clean my van out every weekend, it does get a bit dusty etc through the week but because of the board o we the bed and the floor cover and liner it literally takes 20 mins to clean and turn back into a camper so it works for me. Really appreciate you subbing and there is so much more to come from the channel now we are started. All the best JP 👍🏻👍🏻

@@JP_livingthedream Awesome, thanks for your input JP! Massively appreciated!

@@chrisridler5041pleasure matey, if you need anything just shout up, I’ll always reply bud 👍🏻

Exactly mate, it’s hard enough as it is without selling yourself short on your living 👍🏻

Thank you so much, really appreciate it 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Ah thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Hoping you continue to enjoy 😊 All the best JP 👍🏻

Hi mate, ah thank you so much, really appreciate it 😊👍🏻
