I own a roofing company, and I pay my roofers £15 an hour,
and I have no trouble whatsoever getting good workmen for
that rate!

but how much do you charge your clients for labour, overheads and profit?

What makes that any of your business?


Whats wrong with everyone? I can not think of any businesses that do not
charge more than they pay their people.
I would think £15 per hour extremely good rate for an employed gardener,
whether its enough to charge the customer is another matter, but as has
been pointed out several times already the sort of work required probebly
does not require years of experience and training and since no full time
professional gardener is likely to be interested in an hour a week or
fortnight I can not quite see why people are getting so hot under the
collar about it
