Pricing tips for landscapers
Charge for the design
A paid design separates serious clients from shoppers. Credit it back on the install and you've lost nothing while filtering the pipeline.
Section the quote
Design / plants / hardscape / softscape as separate sections makes phased projects easy. Clients book Phase 1 today instead of stalling on the whole number.
Disclose the watering schedule
A 1-year plant warranty is a marketing weapon when paired with a printed care guide. It also limits warranty exposure to genuinely defective stock.
Price mulch by the yard
Per-yard pricing reads honest. Clients can compare to a landscape-supply yard and find your install premium reasonable.
FAQ
Should landscaping quotes include a design fee?
For installs over $5k, yes — quote a design fee ($250–$1,500 depending on scope) that's credited toward the install if the client books. It pays for your time on iterations and filters out clients shopping designers for free.
How do I quote plants — at retail or wholesale-plus?
Wholesale cost + a stated markup (typically 30–100%) plus a 1-year plant warranty. Clients accept markup readily when they see it covers replacement; hiding the markup invites comparison-shopping at the nursery.
Should hardscape and softscape be on the same quote?
Same quote, separate sections. Hardscape (patios, walls, walkways) and softscape (plants, mulch, beds) have different timelines and warranties — sectioning the quote lets the client phase the project if budget is tight.
How do I handle plant warranties?
1-year on installed plants is standard, contingent on the client following a watering schedule you provide in writing. Trees often carry a separate 2-year warranty due to higher unit cost.
