A useful quote says what the work covers

A price makes more sense when you know what comes with it. Use this Olds guide to compare your options, make a clear yard list and ask the right questions before agreeing to work.

Look past the lawn size

Sod installation starts with more than rolls of grass. Our starting price includes preparation, sod, supplies and installation.

For a fair comparison, check the same parts of the work. Does the plan deal with what is on the ground now? Is the area measured? How will you care for the sod after it is laid? The starting price is not a firm total for every Olds yard.

Compare zones, not just a system total

Irrigation means a built-in watering system. It is split into zones, which are sections that run together. Our starting price is per zone.

A useful quote should show the coverage and system plan. Ask which areas will be watered, what parts are included and how the ground will be left. Do not compare two prices as the same job if one covers more of the yard.

Be specific about lawn care

Our lawn care services are mowing, edging, fertilizing, weed control, aeration and power raking. Ask for the ones you need, rather than a vague request for “everything.”

If you want ongoing help, say how often you hope to have it. Confirm the work and visit plan in the quote. There are no public lawn care prices to assume from this page.

A stump quote needs a finish plan

Stump grinding breaks the wood into chips. The remaining space may still need cleanup, soil or grass. Tell us whether those are part of your goal.

Ask what happens to the chips, how deep the agreed work goes and how the ground is left. Include stump size and access when you request the quote. That makes it easier to discuss the whole job.

Name the cleanup areas

For spring or fall work, list the lawn and other areas to clear. Rent a Rake offers leaf pickup, branch pickup, lawn raking and debris hauling.

A quote for a pile by the gate is different from clearing leaves across a full yard. Tell us what is spread out, what is already piled and what you want taken away. Ask about large branches or other waste in advance.

Before you say yes

You should know the work you are agreeing to. Use these questions to clear up any gaps in your Olds quote.

  • Which parts of the yard are covered?
  • What work and materials are included?
  • What is the agreed price?
  • What prep do I need to do?
  • How will the site be left?
  • What timing has been confirmed?
  • What care does the lawn or system need afterward?

Planning work in Olds

Ask about your property
Can I compare the sod starting price with a sod-only supply price?

They cover different things. Our starting price includes prep, sod, supplies and installation. Compare the work included, not just the figure.

How do I compare two sprinkler quotes?

Check the areas watered, zone plan, parts and ground finish. A lower total may describe a different job.

Should cleanup hauling be written in my quote?

Yes. Make sure the agreed debris and hauling plan are clear, along with the areas to be cleaned.

Does asking for an Olds quote commit me to the work?

No. It starts the discussion. Work, price and timing still need to be agreed.
