HardDaysKnight is an unknown quantity at this point
There has been no ridicule as Dale pointed out.
There has been concern however for not only your
future but for the future of others who play by the rules.
If you really need to ask the questions you did in this
thread than you are not ready or qualified to lay sod for a living.
I mean absolutely no disrespect, BUT, I said it's not rocket science
and you cant, without our help even figure out the square footage
price.
Here are your questions:
- What tools will I need?
- What would a fair hourly rate be to charge out?
- Hourly wage for my workers?
- How to calculate my costs and give a final bill?
- How I should go about estimating?
- How much should I be able to lay in 1 hour?
- Am I exspected to spread the top soil?or
should that already be done before I get there?
You should know these answers already.
There is imo NO market for that service and if you become a
sub to do it , there is no prestige in it.
Like I said, slow down and learn the trade.
You wont have to take baby steps; you will be able to
take bigger strides to make better profits doing
the entire project.
