If they work 8 hours each you are paying them over 50 dollars an hour! No tip.

I’d say definitely tip them if you’re paying someone else (like a business) and they’re employees. If you’re paying them directly with cash, you could tip them or not. If they’ve done a good job I think it would be nice.

I’ve also understood that you don’t tip the owner.

This sounds about right to me. It always costs more than you think

We don’t usually hire landscapers but had gotten behind on the yard. It was too much to do (well) ourselves. Do I tip them? I’m not sure what’s typical or expected. And if so, how much?

Thanks.



I think they are being very well paid (I had similar work done, 8 hours by one person and paid $330), but the decision to tip is up to you.

If you feel like it do it. The extra cash will be very welcomed. There's never anything wrong about being generous.

I usually do not. However, if they exceed your expectations and you want to they will appreciate it
