We pay about $150/hr for labor. Add in materials to that cost. The yard is decent--acceptable but not great--at the work they do. They really overestimate the time it takes. . . .but they are able to do some things that I cannot.

thanks, we are at $90 an hour in erie/cleveland area.

Is it just me or do others think that the labor rates for yard work are unreasonable?

A basic law of economics is that prices are set at a point the target market will bear.

The yard I went to on SF Bay charges $160hr, pretty much the going rate +- as far as I can tell for all yards in the main bay area. There may be lower rates in some of the outer areas though.

$90 to $150/hr here on the Chesapeake,, depending on what kind of yard and what kind of work
