Paying a couple friends to weed and to shape up my bushes and roses etc. Have some all the way around the house and a large fenced in area with flowers that need weeded too. Probably will take 2 people 20+ hours because we have a large house and different beds all around and near our road etc. How much would you pay for this. Its tax free money. I say $10 an hour per person so $20 an hour for the 2 of them and if its 20 hours it would be $400. Does it sound like over paying, under paying, just right?

Just curious because they have done work for me before and always , no matter what I pay he thinks its not enough. I really need to cut ties and let him fend for himself really. I feel I over pay on things and this time paid a fair wage for sure. He wanted $600 actually and claims he worked 28 hours when my dd's KNOW he didn't. I wasn't home this weekend but they were. Even if he worked 28 hours that doesn't compute to $600.
call a few landscapers and ask them what they would charge for that work and then you can come up with a fair price that is being charged in your area
I think that is a reasonable rate, but I also agree with Stevei. It can't hurt to call around and get an estimate of what it would cost for a professional to do it, then go from there.
this- always call around- then u can come up with price
Quoting steveiguana:call a few landscapers and ask them what they would charge for that work and then you can come up with a fair price that is being charged in your area
