NOTES:
1. See the accompanying article "How to Develop a Budget for Your
Landscape Project" for information to assist you in completing your
budget range calculations and in understanding the importance of budgets,
costs, and values to your landscape project.
2. See the attached "EXAMPLE BUDGET
DEVELOPMENT" as an example for doing the calculations for your
property. If you have an irregular shaped site, house, or hard surface
elements, use your best geometry to determine the square foot calculations
of the areas. |
