make sure you understand the growth rate of what you are putting in.

Those small-ish plants will be very large in 2 years.

Too many people put in the plants as if they were going to remain the same size as day one.

Plants, including the weeds grow 24 hours a day most of the year.

While the folks you have quoting will not like the request, have them break it down for you in detail. Plants at $ each. Mulch x square feet times $/square foot. If they will not do it then scratch them.

DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE!!!!!
