Matt From MRD Landscaping. In my experience and doing this type of work for over 15 years is that we measure everything buy sq ft. I estimate $75.00 per man in the job. We bill out for every service. We track every job from Lawn Maintenance to Hardscaping. We monitor all hours on every single job. If we bid a job for 10 hours, I will add on 5 hours to cover any additional expenses that might arrive that were unexpected. Also, our estimates will also include that any additional expenses that were not on the original estimate will be billed on the final invoice. This way we don't lose any money on any job.

We were busy all year last year.
