[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Just for the hell of it, I asked AI.  Here’s what it has to say about what I’m paying:

Yes, $36 an hour is an excellent rate for yard work, far exceeding the average wage for the industry. The average pay for a landscaping or lawn care worker typically ranges from $17 to $25 per hour, with specialized or management roles earning more. A rate of $36 an hour reflects high skill, premium service, or specialized work. [/quote]

You do realize that what you are paying and what his hourly earnings are, are not the same things right? He has overhead, maybe less than a legal worker, but overhead all-the-same. Someone else walked through it, but his wages will be roughly half of what you pay him. [/quote]

Nope.  Let me spell it out further for you in language that I assume even you can understand.

He tells me he's coming, he drives here from a neighboring town, he parks in my driveway, and he does the work.  He uses my tools and doesn't bring anything with him.  On the rare occasion that he needs something that's not here, he tells me and I order it for his next visit.  (Example:  he said he needed a larger wheel barrel, so I bought one.)  There's no "overhead" involved for which he is responsible except the price of gas.  It's a 15 minute drive, more or less.

Care to name any "overhead" that I'm missing?[/quote]
