I usually price to a specification. How many variables are there ? How many times a week are you going to mow? are you going to spike, solid tine, hollow tine, cluster heads etc etc. and how often ?
What products and how often ?
no ball park figure i am afraid.

At a guess, I spend between 8-10 hrs per week on our green and obviously a lot more during renovations but then less during the winter.

As Bath states price to a spec. We look after quite a few Crown Greens in and around the Greater Manchester area and each one is done to a different spec and cost.

which area of country are you? as cost for green contracts can vary depending where you are-also you will need a lot of good quality kit -top class mowers-2,spiker ,verti cutter ,graden maybe so prob best part of £20,000 investment needed for good gear and of course there are the annual servicing costs-have you factored all that in ?
