Nothing adds up and Im worried he maybe into a different type of horticulture that may get my poor knieve sister in trouble too..
So any landscapers out there who own there own business please PM me with a rough income,,as I want to front him before he is caught...
cheers

It might depend on what he is growing .

so he works, say 40 hours a week over 26 weeks, thats 1040 hours to earn roughly $400000,thats close to $400 an hour.

Depends on what hes landscaping
does he have people working for him
what sort of jobs is he doing
sounds a bit suss to me

Yep, it also depends on what overheads he has. ie he might have a lot of equipment on lease. His new vehicles might be leased as well. Just try and hire a bobcat for a day with a 10t tipper and you will soon add up $.

Last time I hired a backhoe, tipper with dog and operators it worked out to over $1,500 for 5 hours. He might have this sort of equipment and eating the profits.

He might also be eating up his overhead recovery costs and using these as spending money. This catches up.

Jealous

with the amount of industry going up in WA for the last few years isn't it a reasonable income? Cash is a bit worrying though. Perhaps he won big at the Casino and is keeping it quiet from you.

****** do i really need to say what i think.........
