What does it cost to landscape my front and back yard?
I want to have a retaining wall made (10ft.x15ft.) (1ft.high) going downhill. An arrangement of plants and flowers to be planted within retaining wall. 30-40 evergreen trees trimmed. A complete clean up of both large front and back yards. Mulch and stones added everywhere. What would the cost to do this be?
What would the labor cost be around?
You will need to have a heavy equipment rental. We just rented ours from http://www.i80equipment.com/ because they were dirt cheap. Excuse the pun. The type of stone you choose makes a big difference. Don’t forget the cost of cement, mulch, loads of dirt, landscaping materials, etc. We spent $5k on ours. That was cheap compared to what we could have done. You have to really save wherever you can. The equipment rentals are the most expensive, so shop around. The site i listed is pretty good. When you buy plants, don’t skimp. When you do, you’ll find you get plants with diseases that spread to the rest of your plants and kill them off. Mites are a major problem with Walmart plants.
