some times its a 25% on material and lets say 25 % profit u have to raise them both, lets say in the first appraisal i will use metal edger to do flower beds, and in the second one i will try to go with natural stone, always say this increase value of property and it looks more classy and it will last longer, i say this will depend in the way you sell your project, i try my self to be patience, confident and talk with authority, like i know what i am doing, and not talk to much, some times i tend to be overexcited well im still learning,but this method will get me landscape projects 90% of the time i do presentations.
