a price is a price
we are all in business to make money
I have a pricing strategy that sees me get a hit rate of 30% of the jobs i price,
i quoted a guy the other night and straight away he started the spiel about his lack of money,recession,loads out of work etc.
so i said "get another 2 quotes and see how we compare"
i wont budge an inch on a fair price if I did it would make it look like a made up price in the first place :;):

No clearance mick, that is partly why it looks so terrible. They should have dug down and removed some spoil instead of dumping the chips / bark on top and having it look like there is way too much there.

Jeez, you like to row don't you!! Just seemed a bit Bitchy, but whatever.
The Lady got done, and thats a shame, but I bet it was a verbal and cash agreement, for a cheap fix and she got stung, seen it loads.

she didnt get done if the price was agreed before the work was carried out, the landscaper could have had too much work on so put in a big price that would make it worth his time, and hey presto, he got it. it happens.

Depends upon what she agreed and what they actually did for the money, so if she asked for her Garden to be cleared and X amount of Geo fabric placed around and covered with X amount of Chippings, and they didn't do that, then yes she got done.
Looks a crap job to me, but then I wouldn't recommend doing that anyway, and we don't know the ins and outs of it, so I was only speculating.
Regardless of what the landscapers work load is, they should still do a decent job, sureley.
