How long is their day?

It sounds rather a lot to me for a day's work, both the amount of work and the price.
However, if they each work solidly for 8 hours then it sounds fair enough.

I think it’s amazing value for money.

I have bought the plants.

I have used them once before last year - they were young and keen and worked very hard - and seemed to know what they were doing. They live in Australia for half the year.

Does the quote include new plants? If so I think that's very good and not bad if it doesn't.

Sadly I think that’s probably about right if they are gardeners.

My garden has got a bit ragged due to illness etc.

Someone has quoted to:
- remove all the large plants that have sprung up around my small pond and replant with new rock plants round the edge.
- cut back the climbers that have gone a bit wild along my side fence with ruised bed beneath - may be 10 metres.
- put down a membrane on a very small area (c.6 feet by 4) and plant creeping thyme and blue star creeper.
- tidy up a 10 metre long very narrow path edge and remove the decorative stones so that it goes back to grass.
- sort out my pot garden on the gravel at the front of the house - there are probably 20 pots of varying sizes that need dead plants removed and replaced, top dressing and weeding.

He is quoting £425 for a day with 2 people.

How does that sound to you?
