McGowan was $4,800. All the work and materials were priced beforehand including the labor in her estimate and they did not deviate except to lower the price. The original estimate was $5,400 but as I posted earlier, when they finished a 1/2 day early she deducted the amount of labor which is something like $1450 per day.
It's been six months so I don't remember exactly, but the price sheet would be something like; Sylvester Palm $650, Queen Palm $195, retaining wall $800, and then right down to the individual plants and rocks and labor. They even redid all the irrigation. Originally we had sod along the street about 5' into the yard, so besides removing the sod they had to remove the sprinklers. Also micro sprinklers were installed on every plant, no more spray type sprinklers. This way there is no water wasted and it goes directly to the root of the tree or plant. She even left us six more of the micro-heads that we can add for future plantings. They're easy to attach by just using a spike.
