If you want to give them something. How about an extra tree or shrub or whatever... Not because they asked just because you appreciate there business. Good clients don't chisel you, period. I've had clients that spent alot of money, in there mind, and for that they had an expectation that I owed them something in addition to the great job we did for them. Well, I don't expect any more money than I estimate for the work and don't do any less than I promise to do, usually a little more, so why do some people feel they should get more on there end? Because they are chiselers.
Most of my clients have more money than I will ever have, second home owners, I find it rediculous that some of these folks feel they need to save that extra couple of hundred bucks. If your not changing the expense side of the balance sheet, on that particular job, how can you reduce your bill? By taking it out of your back pocket. No thanks, I don't need chiselers no matter how much money they are "giving me".
