Welcome to Clark's Landscaping Services

Clark's annually receives bids for commercial or governmental landscape projects. The way these projects are set up is that a landscape design is submitted to several firms and each firm submits their estimate of how much it would cost their company to complete the landscape project. Each landscape contractor submitted prices based on exactly the same landscape design and specifications for plants, materials and hardscape construction work.

What is often most interesting in these bids is that their is about a 100% variation between the highest and the lowest prices. This price variation occurred when each company had exactly the same landscape design and exactly the same specifications. It has been our experience that the results of this survey can be duplicated over and over again due to the nature and makeup of firms in the landscape industry. Those firms that tend to offer the lower price also tend to lack in customer service, horticultural knowledge, drainage requirements, and design creativity. Those with the higher bid tend to be experienced knowledgeable firms that specialize in customer service, a vast amount of landscape knowledge, and the creativity to make dreams a reality.

Now imagine if you had three different design solutions for your landscape garden project from three different landscape designers and with three different sets of specifications? How can you make an effective evaluation and determination, under these circumstances, as to which landscape design and landscape contractor is the best for you?
