re: Landscaping Cost

No one is saying you aren’t right in your statement. When we were bidding a job we never simply reduced the price. We maybe eliminated plants, went smaller, or removed aspects of the project that weren’t vital. We never simply lower the price just to get the job.

Also if you wait for winter you run the risk of plant availability and losing your investment due to potential freezes.

Realistically get three quotes. Compare alll three and find out what the market rates seem to be. You can always go to the one you like most and say “hey look I like you guys and want to go with you. Company X says they will do it for this price, if you can match that we can do this with you”. I’ve done that once before when the month was looking bad. We just removed a few hours of labor in the job. We always over estimate labor just in case. So there is wiggle room for sure. But that was one time over several years and it was a really big job. On a small job, it will be tough.

Hell if its small I’d almost just do it myself.
