Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Plant material costs depend heavily on the type, size, and quantity of plants. Research local nurseries or wholesale suppliers for current pricing on the specific plants your design requires. Factor in potential delivery fees and a buffer for unexpected needs or replacements.
For a two-person crew, you can generally expect to charge between $50 to $100 per hour. For individual laborers, typical rates are around $25 to $50 per person per hour. These rates cover not only wages but also workers' compensation, tools, and supervision.
Yes, it's advisable to separate design costs from installation. Design work requires specialized creative and technical skills. You can charge a flat fee for designs (e.g., $300-$600 for a front yard, or $900-$1800 for a master plan) or an hourly rate, distinct from the physical labor of installation.
Include a contingency clause in your contracts, typically 10-20% of the total project cost, to cover unexpected issues like poor soil quality requiring extensive amendments, difficult rock removal, or changes requested by the client. Clearly communicate this possibility to the client upfront.
Provide a detailed, itemized quote. Break down costs by categories such as design, site preparation, plant materials (with quantities and types), soil amendments, delivery, and labor. Include a project timeline and payment schedule. Offering different tiered options (basic, mid-range, premium) can also help clients understand what they're paying for and make informed decisions.
