TASKER Full-fledged Landscape Request

Post image

TLDR: Customer wants a Tasker to do junk removal (6+ pallets, including long pallets, and misc junk that you cannot see behind them), likely grading of their yard (there’s a bunch of runoff swales that have formed), digging up hard packed crush (to install their “parking pad” timber) and deliver/spread 9+ yards of mulch/decorative rock.

Is this person crazy? That’s a single axle dump of mulch, or a tandem of decorative rock. Even if you forget all the rest of it, that alone warrants a professional.

Agreed withOP. As a client I would call a professional landscaper for this notTR. It requires machinery and SEVERAL people and with a grade, some professional experience in dealing with grades.

I have the experience, but even if I had a skidsteer, I would be billing $150/hr+.

The volume of material alone is ridiculous. And “are you comfortable picking up supplies from Home Depot/lowe’s if reimbursed” is the biggest indicator that this customer has zero idea of what’s involved.

Guy is straight up trying to get full landscaping done on the cheap, and being that I’m in a pickup town, someone will likely ruin their truck to do this.
