Great question! I'm no landscaper, but here's what I came up with utilizing our AI model.
Leveraging AI, I was able to take all of your photos, 1 video and description of work and create an estimate within minutes with a clear detailed scope of work. Don't be afraid to think outside of the box or reach out with ANY questions!!!!
Scope of Work (Preliminary Assumptions):
- Extensive brush and small tree clearing around the home, garage, and rear yard.
- Cutting back overgrown vegetation against structures and fencing.
- Removal of weeds, volunteer trees, and saplings around the perimeter.
- General clean-up and haul-away of green waste and any debris.
Estimated Labor & Cost Breakdown:
- Labor Hours: Approx. 18–22 hours
(2-person crew over 1.5 days for full clearing and trimming) - Labor Cost @ $85/hr:
$85 x 20 hrs = $1,700 - 50% Labor Mark-up:
$1,700 x 0.50 = $850 - Total Labor (with mark-up):
$2,550 - Rough Material Costs:
- Chainsaw fuel/oil, loppers, rake replacements, contractor bags = $75
- Disposal Cost:
- Hauling truckload(s) of green waste = $200
Total Rough Budget Estimate:
$2,825 (non-binding and based on current visual assumptions)
Customer-Supplied Finish Materials (Not Included):
- Not applicable for this job, as no finish materials are relevant (no painting, fixtures, etc.)
