Question 1

How should I break down a landscaping quote?

Accepted Answer

Split it into phases: site clearance, groundworks/drainage, hard landscaping (paving, walls, fencing), soft landscaping (planting, turf, beds), and finishing (lighting, irrigation). Customers want to see the journey.

Question 2

Should I include a design fee?

Accepted Answer

For larger projects, yes. A separate design fee (€500 to €1,500) shows your expertise and covers your time. You can note in the quote that the design fee is offset against the full project if they proceed.

Question 3

How do I handle plant supply in quotes?
