How much should I tip these guys?

I don’t usually tip for that kind of work.They quoted you the price.

I agree with @Adirondackwannabe.

I don’t think they’re expecting it either.

I don’t think that type of work expects a tip. But it would be a nice gesture to offer them some bottled water, lemonade or iced tea. Although we don’t have a gardener, my neighbor down the street does. One day, this poor guy was mowing the lawn and it was about 90 degrees outside. I ran inside and made a jug of lemonade and took it along with some cups down to him and his partner. They were thrilled (and a little bit shocked). I just told them to leave the pitcher at Mrs. H’s house and I’d come pick it up later. They ended up bringing it back up to my house after they were done.

I would offer them something to drink but no cash tip.

If they are over 21 offer them a beer when they are done… otherwise go with iced tea.

Aren’t you paying them a fair price for doing the job, and if so, why do you think you should throw in a tip as well?

Only if you really feel like it. 5%?

Thanks for all the quick! replies.

Agree with @Kardamom. I always provided refreshment for any outdoor labor. I would occassionally tip a neighborhood kid if he cut my lawn for cheap and did an excellent job. Most kids don’t know how to price cutting the grass. I don’t think professionals have that problem.

I would probably gire each of them an extra $10

Yeah, gove them a beer each.
