I never had the experience in two encounters with Terrascape. First time I had Terrascape in 2011, I said I want all the pine straw removed and weed block put down and copper rocks installed in the front and back yard. He said, that's going to be about ten tons of rock and two guys can do it in one day, that' $2800. I said if you'll do it for $2500 you got the job. He said, pay me in cash when I'm done and it will be $2500.
The owner no longer gives the appraisals or handles the design, he has young girl that been working in nurseries since she was 16. In 2019 I told her I wanted it all refreshed with new rocks, new shrubs, and the irrigation checked out and fixed, and the retaining wall fixed and glued back in place. They gave me a price of $1900. There was four guys who worked all day and I got a lot for the money, you can see the finished job in the photos above.
