If you have been following our www.ca2pr.com then you already know that Summer and I are very anxious to get our landscaping started. The hardest part is the first couple of months, then, once the plants are over the “shock period” they will grow like crazy.
For the past two weeks I have been calling around trying to get the best deal for topsoil, sod, a backhoe and getting rid of all of the rubbish we have piled up in the front and back yard.
Today, I finally closed the deal. Here is how it breaks down.
1. Topsoil - $17.50 a meter (we are getting 20 meters; almost two dumptrucks)
2. Backhoe - $35 an hour (4 hours)
3. Load and Haul away all our rubbish - $150
The deal I finally negotiated is $525 for all of the above.
Having grass (at least 6 weeks from today) should help with all of the dirt we are tracking into the house..just in time for the IPE Hardwood Floors to go down. It’s all got to get dirtier before it gets cleaner!
