Example: Front-yard refresh before a house sale
A realtor needs a tired front yard to look good for listing photos next week: new mulch, trimmed shrubs, fresh annuals and an edged lawn.
| Mulch install (per yard) × 6 | $510 |
| Shrub trimming | $180 |
| Seasonal flowers (flat) × 4 | $180 |
| Lawn edging | $60 |
| Total | $930 |
| Deposit to start (25%) | $232.50 |
Send the estimate to the realtor by text, collect the deposit online, and schedule the crew on a dry day — the forecast is right on your calendar.
An example to show how it works — prices and steps are yours to set.
What customers ask a landscaper
How much mulch do I need?
Measure the beds; one yard covers roughly 100 square feet at 3 inches. Put the number of yards on the estimate so the price is transparent.
Can you do weekly maintenance?
Yes — a repeating job makes weekly or biweekly visits automatic.
When is the best time to plant?
It depends on your area and the plants. Note your recommendation on the estimate.
Tips for your landscaper business
- One-time cleanups turn into maintenance contracts; offer the repeat price on the same estimate.
- Price mulch and soil per yard so bigger yards never become a loss.
- Rain days are lost money — move work the day before, not the morning of.
