Answer 1

This doesn't sound too bad. I'm a Landscape Architect in Texas and I can give you some idea of cost and what you are paying in possible labor. The trees are running you about $125 a peice. The 5 gallon shrubs are probably $25 each. The 1 gallon shrubs are probably around $8 each. The sod is about .33 a sqft. The rock is a tough one because I do not know what type you are using. Rock varies, but its a good estimate of about .50 sqft. The curbing is cost by linear feet. We rarely use this here, but stone edging is about $6 a foot. The irrigation system should run you about .35 sqft. The lights are low voltage and cost about $125-$150. Look at all this and see what your getting. I do have all the calculatons. Good Luck.
