Estimates
- $25
- Creditable on project if EARTHeim is hired to carry out service
Estimates are simply quotes for services on small areas within the property like weeding, mulching, planting, removals, or a quote for a fine gardening plan. If you’re looking for advice or ideas concerning your landscape, a consultation may be better suited.
Design fees may apply concerning plantings.
Estimates are good for 30 days of written quote.
Travel fee of $0.54 per mile will apply for trips outside of Lexington Metro. The travel fee is non-refundable.
FAQ- Why aren’t estimates free?
Estimates usually take around three to five hours of time or longer. This includes an initial conversation by email or phone call to learn about what you’re looking for. Also scheduling an appointment, traveling to and from the site, and time to write a quote. $25 is a very small fee for the value of an estimate. However, if you choose to hire EARTHeim to carry out the service, the fee is creditable to the project as a ‘thank you’ for choosing EARTHeim. After 30 days the fee is not creditable.
