I tell you EXACTLY how I price my driveway cleans. I have branched out into pressure washing so I consider myself quite new but I thought it would be useful to tell you my strategy.
I am a self employed gardener and this winter I decided to add another string to my bow. I hope you enjoy it.

How you getting on with the pressure washer? How much have you used it? Reviews very up and down. Thanks
Enjoy your videos, keep it up š
Hello fella, whats the make of your jet washer, ive been looking at the Sykes ones or the jet pro ,not sure what to go for
I don't do much pressure washing at all to be honest as it's not a job I enjoy. But when I do I charge Ā£3 per sq mtr. Including sand. I never offer sealing. I think pricing will also depend on the area your in tbh. But over all I think your pretty much bang on with your pricing.
Great video, how do you get on working directly from a household tap, ie pressure. Do you use a bin/reservoir and suck it up?
Will your machine take a flat surface cleared, ie the whirlaway.
All the best.
Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate it šš».
What vehicle do u use
Do you get water supplies from customer or you got water tank at back of your car?
try not to quote to low to get job good videos mate
Hi mate, how do you price for the re-sanding?
Do you split it as an extra on your quote so if the customer wants it re-sanding after the pressure washing or the can opt out and just do it themselves? Thanks š
how do you deal with water if the customer doesnāt have a outside tap ?
Hi there, love your videos, I was looking at getting the tx750i , do you run it straight from the customers outside tap? Or use a big bucket?
I've been scratching my head all night trying to work out what to charge to clear moss and weeds from a large area of lockblock paving *by hand*. I have absolutely no idea how long that'll take me, but I've warned him it won't be cheap!!
Did you put your machine in the car, worried about lying it down, in the back of mine as I won't be able to stand it up
Do you add the price of sand plus time to go back and brush it in?
Hi interesting video – how much did you spend on jet washer etc to start as I want to do more in my area ??
Aldi are now selling a petrol pressure washer not sure what it's like but it's only Ā£130 so worth a try for anyone new I did a block paved garden over day she didn't want it sanded as I'll be ripping the paving up next year as it's sinking at 2 sides
Is the extra hose reel on the āIā model worth it and does the petrol cap leak. Iām seeing some
Negativity on this pressure washer but I think itās mostly just people not following instructions properly etc
Hi. How many psi on your jetwash please ? It's an electric one ?
Hi mate. So you always resend block paving?
Iām just starting and thinking of doing flyer drops to local houses with driveways.
Hello grey gardener! I've been finding your videos really helpful lately as I'm interested in starting a gardening business to supplement my new chimney sweep business (mostly seasonal winter time). My question is how many pressure washing jobs do you tend to do during the grass cutting season? Do you do many in winter?
I'm thinking of starting a business doing driveway and patio cleaning as I need a big change in my life. I know you do other jobs too, but do you think it's realistic to make a living just with that service? I don't have a green thumb and I'm not a fan of heights so I don't fancy tacking on other services like gardening or cleaning gutters as most others seem to do.
Question, im 16 i dont have a van or car, how do i transport my stuff around and also how do you measure a square meter
Do you knock door to door to get work? And if so, what do you reckon is your success rate?
