Time (labor) at the nursery getting materials.

This time can be really consuming on a large job.

Often I need to go to more than one place to get the best of the best and that eats up a lot of time.

One thing that helps me out is faxing in my order a few days before so the nurserymen can pull the order and have it ready when I get there. That could save me 45 minutes at times.

Access in another. Is there adequate access to the property? Can I get a machine where I need it? Will there be a lot of wheel barrowing long distances?

Lastly, dump fees and time. Many of my jobs require me to remove sod or existing plant material. That can be a bummer depending on the job if you didn't calculate it in the bid.
