Garden Work

We're being chrged €19 per hour for garden work, which consists almost entirely of strimming our grass around the house near Lucca.  It seems very expensive to me, and takes place between April - August.  What I want to know is this: Is anyone else being charged €19 per hour is is it just a 'special' shmuck rate for me?

10 euros per hour would be a reasonable amount for the work, but most strimmers add on the cost of gasolio and strimmer wires. I guess you could find cheaper as long as he doesn't have to drive too far to your place. If he works fast, I'm not sure I'd argue about it.
