I was about to buy those "lawn" carpet to redo my garden, but the stupid lady I contacted was so dodgy about rate per sqm and explanation, I have decided to investigate the real costs before dealing with those one stop shop "gardeners" you will find other on the side of the roads here,
First I need 100 sqm worth of dirt, soil, compost whatever the name to prepare the land for the "lawn", how much would that cost ? lady said 2 trucks would cost me 7,000 THB but that she wanted 10,000 THB to lay it down
The Malaysian lawn we ordered was only 30 THB per sqm, great, but she wants another 10,000 THB to lay it down,
sounds a bit unreasonable, anyway I offered 20,000 for 110 sqm for the whole thing, she first asked 35,000 THB out of the blue, and then 25,000 THB but her explanation were so "dodgy", I didn't want to giver her satisfaction
so for 110sqm, we have:
- Lawn carpet = 3,300 THB
- 2 x Trucks of Soil [at] 3,500 THB each = 7,000 THB
Total Material: 10,300 THB
- Labor (2 Issan worker [at] 300 THB/day) = 600 THB
Does this sound unreasonably too low or is that about right ? any gardening company or gardener recommendation ?
PS: Stupid Lady Commissions for doing fuck all: 15,000 THB
