Landscaping Projects: planning your Great Falls budget

What affects the price?

Two estimates can cover different materials, preparation and repair allowances. Ask each business to describe the scope in writing.

• Site grading, soil quality, slope and drainage
• Irrigation, sod, beds, trees and hardscape work
• Plant choices suitable for Great Falls weather and water needs

Planning for your Great Falls home

For Great Falls properties, water requirements, sun exposure and freeze-thaw seasons matter just as much as the initial installation cost.

Questions to ask before hiring

1. Does the quote include grading, soil preparation and debris removal?
2. What irrigation and plant-maintenance work is included?
3. Are plant warranties or follow-up visits included?
4. Can you provide a written scope, applicable insurance information and an expected schedule?

Compare the same work

Include equipment or material specifications, labor, removal, site protection, cleanup and any permit responsibilities in each estimate. Ask how changes and unexpected repairs are handled. Confirm payment and warranty terms before accepting a bid.
