How much can I expect to pay for landscaping labor?

Paying a company? 35.00 min

Paying yourself 12-15

Per hour per man

I have a white guy I pay 12$ an hour when I have labor type work around my yard.

Legal or Mexican?

I do a little landscaping and mowing yards on my off days. I charge $40 hour for that kind of work which is about average for all the guys I know. The ones that do it more fulltime usually $60-$75 an hour. I usually bid it out with a flat price based on $40 an hour if I do it quicker or slower doesnt matter I stay with that price.

spreading 600 ft of river rocks to be bordered by soil. All of it edged.

600 sq ft? 1 yd of river rock or so? Is it all in one area? Sort of a path?

I'd do that for about $150

Planting ten shrubs and five 15 gal trees

25% of the cost of the shrubs and trees.

I'd imagine your shrubs ran about $50/piece..and your 15 gallons, $100/piece.

$150 and $120 and $125

Even $400, extra $5 for fig tax.

Whats ~850 SF at 2" depth minus about 30 16x16 pavers in the path generally run? Looking for large river pebbles. Edging and landscaping cloth already down.

$150 to spread river rock? You must have a strong freaking back. That shite sucks to spread. You have a low value of your work if that's all you'd charge.

It seems to me that he wants 600 linear feet of river rock spread.
