A friend of mine who by the way is a cantankerous genius, says you will find that on a job you have labor and materials. You will find that the labor is equal to the parts. Strange but it seems to work.

Also, as to the price. The price goes up when they are busy. So on an expensive project you may find a good time to buy.

Landscaping, say as many times as you need to-THE RIGHT PLANT IN THE RIGHT PLACE. There is no shortage of people who spend money on plants that are not suited to our growing conditions.
Both the nuseries and more so the box stores sell plants because people insist on buying them that should perhaps like cigarettes have a warning label-WILL NOT LIVE VERY LONG.
