In 2017-2019, I solicited bids to have $75K-100K worth of landscaping done.
It is amazing that I was willing to spend that amount of money and some landscape design companies would refuse to come out because it wasn’t in their wheelhouse for one reason or another. We live in a very wealthy part of the country where companies can turn down contracts of that size.
Some did come out and then never got back to us.
In the end, I received 3 bids out of the 10 or so companies I contacted.
I look at it this way – they weeded themselves out for me. If I couldn’t even get a bid out of them, why would I want them to work for me?
The contractor I eventually picked did a fabulous job and was very easy to work with. Very happy with the result.
