Sherman Tiger,

$10,000 for landscaping is very very high unless in a subdivision or including sod!

Builders do usually mark up 10%, but many times they save 10-15% on subcontract labor and materials.

We had a local (Small landscaper/nursery owner) bid to only create the flower beds with no plants... Just flower beds... It was $7700.00. Sod is $400 a pallet laid down. (450sft)

We ended up doing the beds ourselves and seeding the yard. The beds (everything included) cost $4400.00. The seeding $1000.00.

Just finish building and got a quote for landscaping and sod.

Sod was $4,915 (corner lot 14 pallets)
Landscape was $6,800. Though the landscape plan was well above what I had envisioned so I can definitely cut back a good back probably.
