As you may know, when starting landscaping projects you may receive a wide range of estimates for your particular needs. Price is one factor to consider, but also take into account other factors such as a company’s reputation, commitment to service, and history in the industry.

Below is a summary of the results collected in a survey conducted by the University of Maryland. Several landscape contracting firms were asked to price three different gardens. Each landscape contractor submitted prices based on exactly the same landscape design and specifications for plants, materials and hardscape construction work. What is most interesting to note is that there 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. The results are as following:  

	Garden A	Garden B	Garden C
Company 1	$ 9,030	$16,243	$24,149
Company 2	$ 7,955	$22,300	$38,065
Company 3	$ 6,522	$17,644	$28,264
Company 4	$11,180	$19,798	$40,071
Company 5	$ 9,308	$15,028	$36,282
Company 6	$ 7,810	$13,100	$49,970
