[NewLandscaper]

This is my first job and I want to see how everybody else would quote it to see how close I came. Below are the specifics. If I miss a detail just assume the baiscs to fill in the blank. I am suppose to do this job on Thursday. Thanks for your help!!

1- There is 2253 sq feet of mulch beds filled with mostly shrubs. I need to #1 culivate and apply weed treatment to the beds. How much would you charge?

2- Cover the entire area with Pine straw mulch. Assume the cost per bale is $4. What would you charge?

3- Trim all bushes and shrubs around the perimeter of the house. Assume they are all under shoulder height and there are 19 of them. Whats your charge for that?


I priced these ala carte please price per job. thanks again!

Helping someone bid is almost impossable.
no other person knows how much it cost you to do something.
and in your area it may be diffrent.
BUT I will tell you. for us to even talk aobut a flower bed. it starts at 200.00
trimming what your talking about is abought the same. mowing is really nothing.
it looks like a 500.00 job to me. and if it were in my area. we would be outta there in 1/2 a day.

I assume your solo ? If so. go hire you some help. just for this job.


best of luck to you
