quelque Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 We have just had a bit of a shock. We have just signed the compromis on a property that is vacant(inheritance situation). The current owners will not be up keeping the garden any longer. While we were there we had a few people over to give us a quote, we have just found out the charges and are a bit shocked. Two were local French people living in the area one is Dutch all recommended by the agent. Can anyone tell me what the going rate is for a gardener these days? We are in the Dordogne about 12km north of Sarlat. If anyone knows of someone reasonable that may be interested we would be most appreciative.

Steveanddawn Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 we runa gardening business in the northern dordogne. you are too far for us to go, but you should expect to pay around 15 - 20 per hour. any cheaper and my bet is they are working on the black. check for registration etc.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergerac Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 we too were shocked, 15 cuts per year for 1800 euros plus taxes.believe me, we are not talking blenheim gardens here. So if there is anybody out there willing to quote reasonable and 15/ 20 an hr sounds reasonable give me a shout.
