How much is that landscape designer in the window?

Well I rang a couple (ok two) landscape designers to see what their price was like compared to what Masterton were offering with their landscaper. Both claimed that minimum cost would be around $800 from scratch without seeing anything or getting site plans etc. But if they could work with the draftsperson from the builder, then it could be something like $450 instead as the draftsperson would have drawn up part of the requirements already. This price is already fairly close to Masterton's quoted price so we have decided to just go with theirs rather than organise the landscaper to meet with Masterton etc. So this seems like a reasonable quoted cost. Masterton's designer also does not charge for any amendments if required by council though I'm not sure if that happens a lot or whether that is the norm for most landscapers anyway, but I'll let you know.

on another note, another busy day at work, my desk buddy just asked what cinderella's horse and buggy turns into at night, better get our noses back to the grindstone!

its a pumpkin btw!
