3 tons of rock isn't cheap, try to pick them up in your car? You are hiring someone to do labor. If you don't like the price do it yourself. Landscapers have to pay to get "rid of pine straw" they have to pay people to do it, they have to have workman's comp. It gets pricey. Some jobs we can do ourselves, if you are in great shape and can labor in this heat. Do it. Most people think $2500 is worth it. get another quote, these companies can't find people who want to work.

I’m not doing this for a showcase, I just want some very basic, minimal work done. Total quote $2550.
I’m new to TV, this seems outrageous to me. What am I missing?
Can I do some or all of this myself?
