Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Estimate labor based on tasks like site preparation (weeding, soil amendment), planting each type of plant (considering size and density), and any post-planting care. Factor in hourly rates for your crew and the estimated time for each task.
Native plants cost about the same as annuals up front. However, they return each year, making them cost less by the second year. They are also low-maintenance once established, reducing future watering and chemical costs.
Utilize wholesale native plant nurseries for bulk purchases, as they often offer better pricing than retail outlets. Consider sourcing plants appropriate for your region's soil and climate, as they will establish easier and require less intervention, saving costs.
For projects requiring specific plant selection, layout, or addressing particular aesthetic or ecological goals, including a design fee is appropriate. For full landscape design packages and project management, flat fees ranging from $1500 to $2000 are common.
While native plants require less maintenance once established, initial maintenance (watering during establishment, occasional weeding) may be needed. Offer this as an optional or included service, typically based on an hourly rate for your crew or a set fee for a specified period.
