How much money does a landscaper in South Africa earn?

Answer 1

Instead of asking what a landscaper in South Africa can earn, you may just as well have asked what an architect can earn there. No offense taken, please...

Everything depends on how good the name of a landscaper is. Important is to have related university studies to show for. Degrees for botanics and Biology help. His track record plays a role. So do his connections in business and commerce. To know the right people of the main political party in a province, where he works, also helps.

Big landscaping projects by banks or shopping malls are usually granted by public tender.

A landscaper with good testimonials of his work has a big advantage.

Finally, it must be said that the pay collected by a landscaper also depends on demand by the private market of the area, where he wants to establish his business.

Also, it is easier for better landscaping pay, if you own a computer landscaping software to discuss a project. A good software may set you back $ 700 or so.

A landscaper with university qualifications, whom I knew in the Hillcrest area Quazulu Natal, charged a friend of mine for creating a plant covered rockery of about 30 square meters roughly Rand 600 in 1995. This included top soil, fertilizing, plants, a small fountain with running water and labor.

I am very sure that the landscaping expert would have demanded higher pay, had he done something similar for a company or for a wealthy garden owner. Perhaps, he worked for so little as part of a promotion in the specific area, where many large gardens existed. If I recollect well, the job did not fill an entire day.

However, I also know that this landscape firm had access to wholesale gardening products and plants.

Please, bear in mind that any job taken in times of recession, which supplies bread and butter or survival, may help.
