We had several landscaping quotes for the front, side of the garage, and 30' along back wall of our designer home. We had a list of what we wanted: the most expensive brown rock (can't remember the name), trees, shrubs, flowers, edging but not curbing or stacked wall. Our estimates ranged from $5000 to $13,000, with 7K and 9K in between. The company with the most expensive estimate could not include the brown rock--mulch instead, with no weed mat. The 7K person tried to change what we wanted.
We went with the 5K (Jamie's Landscaping) and couldn't be happier with the job, the workers, the plants and trees. This was in December of 2012. Not exactly prime season, but I don't know why the prices were so all over the place.
