Our HOA is on it's second company in 6 years and the new landscapers are doing what the old landscapers are doing.
The management company emailed me back that the company that we have now bid just above what we were paying the old landscapers which is a tad over $3000 per month
Other bids to perform the same job came in at over $8000 per month
We have just over 300 single family homes, a pool area with palm trees and hedges "sage variety" same in the park some sage type hedges
All homes have one tree like a crepe myrtle and some bushes, shrubs, hibiscus etc. nobody has grass it is all crushed gravel.
What is a realistic price that a landscaper should bid to maintain the fronts of every home each month. The last landscapers would come by every other
week with a leaf blower to blow out any leafs and dust and when the season persist take a hedge trimmer and trim up the hedges.
The down side is our common areas and some homes has fountain grass and whoever keeps letting it happen the landscapers keep weed whacking the fountain grass
to the stub. four of my neighbors today had our landscape with flowers and bushes in full bloom whacked to chit today with the
community managers response was well that worker won't be coming back here.
I find the $8000.00 bid to be overkill because we don't have lawns to mow, only in the park and the lawn there don't get mowed that often, and the common area
budget is different from the home owners contribution.
What kind of cost do you other owners have with similar landscapes?
