A little off topic here, but in reference to raising the bar on pricing for landscapers, it is going the opposite way very, very , very fast around me. Have a couple companies that seem to think the lower the price, the better because they can get more work and get bigger and bigger. Both have been around for quite awhile and I know that both of them know better.
Had one that took a job away from someone else for less than half despite a minimum 1/2 hour travel time each way. The other contractor was in the same town as the property. They've been selling, selling, selling, but mostly low price. I see some problems coming for both of them in the future. Both of these companies have been way low on one thing or another for snow and\or landscape management pricing on a lot of their new work.
BTW, I would have felt a little guilty as well, but I wouldn't have changed anything. Like was stated, think about the jobs where you were off on your estimating and you break even or lose money.
