We try to book a meeting with the homeowner, working with their schedule, within 2-7 days of them reaching out to us. This meeting will give us a chance to talk with the homeowner and figure out the all the wants and needs of the project, as well as giving us eyes on the project that will help us determine logistics of the site/landscape which will help us give a better informed idea of project timelines and costs. We will then get back to you you within 3-7 days with a breakdown of the project cost including labor and materials. We might be able to get a ballpark range of cost through first contact and email with photos, but it is always better to have us come out and look at the project to get a better idea of the scope of the project.
