Frequently Asked Question
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR MY PROJECT DURING THE INITIAL CONSULTATION?
No, Too often a landscape contractor will come to a site and immediately give a potential client a price without first knowing all the details of that project. Our first question is always, “What is this estimate based on?” Before making out a bid of any sort, we must first discuss all the work to be done, the planting and construction materials necessary, and the labor involved. After which we do a breakdown and present to you a complete and itemized preliminary estimate. As our client you will be able to see, not only how much your project will cost, but also where every dollar will go.
