Quotes depend on scope and site conditions

Our pricing is quote-based. The timeline and final cost depend on what we confirm on-site, the level of complexity, and the details we agree in the approved proposal.

What affects price

  • • Site access, existing vegetation, and ground conditions
  • • Plant selection, quantities, and seasonal availability
  • • Soil preparation and drainage requirements
  • • Hardscape elements, edging, and boundary considerations

What affects schedule

  • • Proposal confirmation and ordering lead times
  • • Weather windows for soil works and installation
  • • Site readiness, access, and coordination constraints

We will confirm a start date range once scope is finalized.

Scope variability

Because landscapes are living systems and real sites vary, the final price can change if conditions differ from what’s visible before assessment. We document findings and update the proposal before any work proceeds.

What is included in your proposal

To keep pricing fair and comparable, your quote is built around a clear scope. Here is what we typically cover when the work is included in the proposal.

Site assessment & measurements

On-site review notes, layout measurements, and practical observations that influence plant choices, access, and build sequencing.

Design concept & planting direction

Design-led concept guidance, planting intent, and a basis for materials so the proposal reflects the look, not just the labor.

Proposal deliverables checklist

A written execution checklist aligned to the approved scope, with clear sequencing so you know what happens first, what follows, and what is handed over.

Installation & build coordination

Delivery coordination and on-site execution for the scope items included in your quote, using the approved plan and materials selections.

Handover care notes

Care guidance for the plantings included in the proposal, plus practical reminders for early-season success.

Scheduling expectations

A realistic timeline based on the confirmed scope and site conditions. Milestones can shift if access, weather, or material availability changes.

Scope boundaries (important)

If something is not named in your proposal scope, it is not included. For clarity on what is commonly excluded, review the next section.

Scope boundaries

What’s not included

To keep the proposal accurate, we exclude items that require a different design decision, separate permitting, or specialty trades.

How this affects pricing

If an item is needed, it will be discussed during the assessment and added as a change request. Final cost and timeline depend on confirmed scope and site conditions.

Usually excluded

  • Outdoor lighting beyond the agreed planting and paths layout
  • Irrigation system design, supply, and installation (unless explicitly added)
  • Major structural work (retaining walls, decking replacements, concrete pours)
  • Fencing or gates, including custom fabrication
  • Tree removal and stump grinding, unless specified in the proposal
  • Home utility upgrades (electrical, water, drainage) required for the garden

Conditional exclusions

  • Permits or inspections, if required by local authorities
  • Soil remediation, decompaction, or import of topsoil beyond the agreed allowance
  • Plants that are not available in season, or substitutions that change the final planting density
  • Additional site visits caused by access constraints or weather delays

We plan and build according to the approved proposal. If site conditions differ, we’ll recommend adjustments before any change is executed.
