I had a price quote of 28K.  This is for front and backyard.  I asked around my neighbors and their price quote is around this range... 

Btw, in my price quote, the sprinkle system is around 3k.

You must of got a big lot in PP.

For 28k it better come with a built in BBQ, raised planters, fire pit, landscaping lights, plants, drainage, water feature, pavers, grass or artificial grass.

You have to play hardball. I would even get separate quotes - back and front.

I wish someone on TI would recommend an affordable quality landscaper. Not ready to drop 40K on my yard.

I should start up my own landscaping company called... Affordable yet decent HOA approved style backyards

the best way to save money is to have the landscape do most of the work and then sue them for low quality and then you can get most of yr money back.

i heard one home owner stopped paying part of the agreed payment after the landscaping is done with all the plants planted and then sued the contractor for some minor hairline cracker in the concrete. and guess what, the court ordered the contractor to pay back a few grand to the home owner which means they spent less than half of what they should pay and got everything done.

personally, i just feel that this is a little unfair to the contractor. which concrete don't have hairline cracks.

This is a horrible post!!!  You should be ashamed of yourself!!!  I'm not sure what you do for a living but I hope one of your customers rips you off so that you get a taste of your own dishonesty.

don't get me wrong.
i was just trying to be sarcastic and i don't agree with that home owner at all.
sorry i didn't make it clear enough.

anyway, i feel really bad for that contractor.

I got the sarcasm but yeah.. Wasn't that obvious. Lol

Hmm - I don't believe in your theory how to rip off people.
However the contractor should be accountable for their work.

Speaking of landscaping.. anybody heard or used landscape locator (http://www.landscapelocators.net/) ?  It was introduced to me by a neighbor.  They are basically a middle man so that you only need to meet with them and they bid out your designs to their contractor networks..

Not bad... Can you let me know the size of your yard/yards?

I'm assuming you mean grass and not glass?
