Re: $60,000
Spel, I agree that the steps look good. A big factor in gauging whether or not the price is right is the type of materials the contractor is planning on using. Driveways can range from $3 or $4 a sq ft up to $20 or $25 a sq ft. The same goes for retaining walls, is a drainage system & irrigation system included in that price? If so I don't think it's too far off.
We own a contracting business & although we don't do actual landscaping we have done many driveways, retaining walls & things like that.
Your home is lovely, but it's a big area. Try breaking the project down into parts & doing the math on the price per sq ft & see if it sounds right.
Another HUGE factor in all types of home improvements right now is the cost of getting rid of the debris(in your case that blacktop, stairs, stoop & everything else) We are paying twice what we paid last year per ton for gargage removal.
Good luck![]()
