Remember economy of scale. Larger sites means more room to work and faster production. A couple of thing that will help is plan on starting on the site, this removes window time and give you a better work day and break the job apart, but grade the site with your rake before you start planting, this gets grades set so you don't have lots of machine time after you plant and have tighter work areas. If you have large ground cover beds amend the soil before you have brought in the larger plants. Think bulk have the material delivered to the site by other trucks not yours, what would have been window time can mean a lot of plants in the ground and turns to $$.
