[TheForge] Landscaper's fee

[Vincent Nakovics]

Mark - Sylvia
My dealings with designers, landscapers and architects in VA was 10 percent. It's called a finders fee and has been pretty standard forever. Unless the guy or gal is going to bring you tons of business I wouldn't give a penny more. How much is your work worth and what is your profit line.

That sounds like the clay soil we have here. I have seen a tractor stuck 
whilst trying to pull out a 4WD that was being pulled out by a back 
actor that was being pulled out by a front end loader. The last one only 
managed as it was on a paved road. Clay and lots of rain = avoid it at 
all costs. Until I moved here I did not believe that it was possible to 
get that stuck. You live and learn.

Subject: [TheForge] sales question

We sell from our Home Gallery and do some "garden art". WE have had a 
landscaper inquire about bringing his client to look and pick out some 
things for his yard.The landscaper is doing the yard. My question is what 
kind of a "commission" is proper for the landscaper? Mark
