The most frequently asked question is what do you charge a sq ft. For us, education is our best sales tool. Far too often I hear from consumers that certain landscape contractors charge exorbitant amounts to cover overhead and profit. This is where the educating of our customers comes in to play. It’s what lies beneath the surface that counts. When you factor in site conditions, proper drainage, base preparation, at minimum 6 inches of base material , there is no way aroun it, your dream landscape isn’t going to be cheap. With no real governing bodies in the interlock industry you're left to fend for yourself. Getting back costs is like asking you how long it would take for you cut my grass. Without seeing the site we truthfully can’t answer that question. Generally interlock can run from $12 - $20 and up depending on the site and material used.
