He has to get rid of the debris, pay for truck, fuel, trailer, tools, advertising, taxes, etc so that "125/hr" gets eaten up pretty quick. So many guys come and go in the landscape business because they lowball and then figure out they aren't making any money.
$125.00 an hour is about right and gets eaten up pretty quickly???? Assuming someone (again assuming) can earn that and can keep busy 40 hours a week that's $5,000/week, sign me up!!! Guess I never should of bothered with college and my desk job. If I could keep busy even half the year at $5,000/week I'd pull down a cool $120,000 a year. I don't currently make that working ALL year. At that kind of return I'd manage a truck, equipment and gasoline somehow.
