Questions
How do landscapers price a patio?
Usually per square metre for excavation, sub-base, laying and jointing, plus fixed items such as edging and drainage. Itemising by area makes the quote easy to compare.
Should landscapers take a deposit?
Yes, for anything involving materials ordered for that customer. A deposit covering the stone and aggregates is common.
Can I offer ongoing garden maintenance on the same quote?
With QuoteChase you can put a one-off job and a monthly maintenance plan on one quote, with the monthly and one-off totals shown separately.
