A bag of bark is around $3-$4 a bag. Top soil ranges from $2-$9 a bag. Box tree $30-$50 at HD. Demo should be free. (That small concrete slab usually contractors throw that in)

Drawing should be FREE!!!

Right, landscaping for fun and no profit! Everythings free or at cost!! One minor glitch - none are hurting for work. Good luck with that.

Sorry, I'm not foolish to pay for a drawing of the backyard.

Laying down pavers, installing weed barrier for beneath the pavers, installing sprinkler system, building a sitting wall - the landscaper took care of that.

It's pretty simple to plant a small tree/flowers.

I haven't asked yet. I didn't want to bring it up before I got the pool reinstated. I'm going to email them next week and ask. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Like anything else, crappy design yields crappy results. Every time I've chintzed on design I've ended up redoing my yard. Costs more when you go cheap. For example, plants that need less water, more sun, more/less space, etc. Unless one doesn't care and is looking for the basic.

Most landscapers INCLUDE the drawing in the quote for the backyard at no additional cost.

I think your one of the few that paid for your design.#yougotrippedoff
 
So my yard is 99.99% done with KS Landscaping.  Just a few quick touchups and all will be done.

Andru wasn't happy with the seal he placed over my beautiful pavers and he wants to seal it again, at no additional cost to me, to make it look perfect.  If anyone can do pavers, KS Landscaping is a pro!  From the grading to the install to the perfect alignment and height, I still can't get over how beautiful my pavers look.

I also really love the attention to detail of every little item from the plants to the concrete to the grass.  Anyhow, I'll let you judge for yourself.

Here are some quick pictures from my cell phone.  Nothing professional, just random shots in the middle of the day.

Nice.  I talked W/ Andru.  He is a nice guy.  However, he gave me a quote of 22K.  I have another landscaping company.  currently their price is only 18K.  I asked Andru to match the price and unfortunately, he is NOT willing to do that.  Anyone heard of Sunset Oasis?  http://sunsetoasis.com/ 

Now, my choice is between KS (22K) or SunsetOasis (18K).  Any recommendation?
