There are different opinions about tipping in general. Some never tip contractors who perform any type of work in their homes and only choose to tip service professionals who serve them personally, like a waiter or a salon attendant. Others are more generous with their tips, tipping any service professional who does an excellent job.
Rewarding a Great Job
The fact that tipping is a voluntary gesture leaves a lot of room about differing views on whether or not to tip and how much is enough. Nonetheless, if you have a landscape project coming up and you’re thinking of tipping landscape workers when they do a terrific job, it would be a very pleasant surprise for the crew. They will surely appreciate this gesture, since they don’t normally expect tips from clients.
Other Nice Gestures
In addition to tipping landscape workers, and sometimes in lieu of a cash tip, homeowners offer lunch and/or snacks for a full day of work. In addition, any worker would appreciate it if you have cold drinks on hand like iced tea or soda on a long day of work. If you’re thinking this is too much, imagine yourself being that person working on some other person’s lawn for several hours.
While tipping landscape workers is subjective, it’s only common courtesy to offer something to drink and eat to people coming to your home to fix your yard.
Benefits of Tipping
If you plan to hire the crew again sometime in the near future, and you know you have more landscape jobs lined up, then tipping them would be a great way to build rapport. It would help ensure that they will continue doing a great job. It may also spread around the service trade in your area that you’re a good tipper, which might get you better service from other service professionals, too.
