$1,700 Landscaping Job - Property Walk, Details, Pricing

$1,700 Landscaping Job - Property Walk, Details, Pricing. In this video I do a property walk of a Landscaping project I just sold and I freestyle off the top of my head all my thoughts around why I priced the job the way that I did.

Thank you so much man. These are the exact things that go through my head and your vid’s help me skip the in confidence in my brain and get paid my worth.

I do fencing but I just landed my biggest fence job. It's a $20k fence for a small apartment complex

This is a very common mistake that a lot owners make when it comes to man hours. I highly recommend basing the man hours solely off of the owners hours rate and NOT the employees hourly rate. I've been in a situation where the employees didn't show up for several days which led me the owner to do more of the work than respected. As a result, I lost money because I bid the job based on the employee hourly rate and not my own.

Just landed and completed my first 1700 dollar job. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge brother!

Thanks Keith. I’ve been in business in Louisiana for about 4 years. I appreciate all the advice and definitely agree that the mistakes early on force you to grow a backbone and be firm with pricing. Keep up the good work man!

I really needed this. It’s my first official year of being in business and I’ve been struggling to tell customers the prices I want to due to a lack of confidence and it’s been losing me money. Thank you

Been watching your videos for a few years now. Very informative and helpful with confidence when bidding jobs and speaking to customers.

It took me a long time to realize that what may seem to me like a lot of money because I didn’t have it isn’t necessarily an issue for the customer. Leading me to underbidding jobs by 50% or more usually.

I know my worth now and what I bring to every job. There’s an old quote, “You wear your work ethic like a badge, good or bad it’s gonna show.”

Thanks Keith!

Straight up! Figure it out YOURSELF 🔥🔥 Love this channel! ❤️

I can't begin to tell you all the extra money I have made just by following your advice.

I found out in my city it is 25-45% cheaper to buy bag mulch depending on the sale than it is to buy in bulk. Easier to move, easier to install, and easier to return what you don’t use.

I’m small business person if I’d even say that at this point but I’m on a start up point and out of tons of videos for landscaping this was most helpful video I’ve found quick, clear, to point the point

[mikelowe]

That pool ring estimate..was the curveball..that we needed to know for the upload brother..much appreciated.

[duncandmcgrath]

Excellent cost breakdown Keith . You've made a video that a landscaper and a customer could digest 👍

[brianhefley]

Ive been watching your videos for several years and they have been soo helpful i often wrestle with the same issues you talk about in your videos my biggest one is the pricing. I judy did a quote for 110 tons of landscape rock and by the time i factored in the logistics and the labor and the materials and even when i seen that number i was like omg to myself as well. I was reluctant to even turn the bid in because the price was astronomical but it turned it in anyway the answer is always no if you dont even try or ask imo. But at the end of the day I tell myself my time to me is worth alot and if it doesnt make dollars it doesn't make sense. So im hoping for the best. Ive never done a landscape rock job to this caliber before and im nervous as all get out but if i get to job it will be worth it financially and for the experience also build my confidence in bigger jobs in the near future . Thank you for keeping it real in your videos im sure they help thousands of people like myself in the day to day grind. Keep up the good work . And thanks again for the amazing videos.

Kieth please make a video of all overheads of running the business

You could use pre-emergent like snapshot in those rock beds to keep the weeds down.

[DarthWindu]

Mate, you're a legend! This content really helped me land scape

[Michael-wyom]

That’s a good price customer is definitely getting a good deal. No one should judge a price given by a landscaper since it’s the price they can do it for, maybe there is a company that can do it for less, but what I’ve found those guys have to get out of the business because they have health problems or couldn’t afford to stay in business. Some of these customers make 30k listing a house for sale and work a day listing it on the internet. And another couple hours showing a couple the house. So 30k for around 2 days work in the air conditioning. So don’t be scared to raise your price they didn’t when they did their work.

Great video! We have similarities in our thinking.

I'm over 19 years into a small garden maintenance job with a team of three in South West England. I have my 1st ride on mower quote to do ( my choice - did not want to get into huge areas at the start) So I'm looking for any tips or advice on how to quote with a rider on. Have done 1000s of small to large propelled mower machine jobs and wondered if I should just quote that way as in quote whatever it would take with the biggest mowers, but just use the ride on instead?
