Budget
In terms of pricing landscaping we work to budgets rather than quotes or estimates. This is to avoid wasting everyone's time, for example if you have a secret budget of £3000 for a project that would cost around £7000 that not going to work no matter how many quotes are provided. However if you state a budget of £3000 we can work out a landscaping project that would work to that budget thereby we are dealing with a realistic proposition.
A question I am often asked is what is the general rule of thumb for a budget? You need to work from a factor for multiple surfaces. if you take the least expensive surface soil and add it to the cost of the most expensive surface say paving and divide it by 2 that will provide a factor in our case of £65. All that is required then is to measure your length and width to provide the area of your garden. For example say 50 sqm x the factor of £65 which provides a required surface budget of £3250 plus whatever ground works are necessary. There is information on ground works in that section. Once again it is important to note that we can usually adjust surfaces to me your budget.
We never ask for money in advance of any project, when the machines and materials arrive on site you pay for them. When the payment dates that have been set arrive you pay as agreed. The client should always be ahead until the last payment is our view.
When your project is priced always check the list of main tasks to ensure all the elements you have requested have been covered. Never assume if it needs clarified please clarify it.
This is general advice to all who look at our site, with the increasing number of lead sites, there's new power to provide reviews, we tend to look at the review for general purposes. But we have noticed an increase in clients being taken to court for leaving untrue negative reviews. Our advice is never leave a late night review after drinking the falling down water, it could be the most costly mistake of your life and check the facts on what you are saying before you make them public.
