How can anyone be foolish enough to pay a $100 a foot to cut the bark
I think that people don't really know how much things cost around here. You have to ask a lot of questions an interview several landscapers before you do business with them. I asked a guy who was doing a brick and sand patio how much a sq ft cost and he told me we don't do it that way in Florida. Things like that are always priced by the sq ft.
