Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but look at the other trades that are working in your area...... Carpenters, plumber, heavy equipment operators, ....... see what I mean these guys are making 35K and over but , landscape labor averages about $15* per hr. If we payed them as an industry $20 to $25 per hr, they might be more willing to take charge. Now I'm talking from what I hear others are paying their employees, mine get paid union scale, they see the benefit of higher wages and bennies. That carries over to the job they do. Wouldn't it be nice if the industry paid like that? People would look up to us and our people, instead of looking down.
