Hello everyone,

I have a question to ask of you folks who have been in this business for awhile. For the past ten years of our existence, we have offered free estimates. This year we are considering implimenting a 'consultaion fee' for our initial visit to the potential clients yard and a design fee also. The only thing is where do we start with pricing on somehting like that. We somewhat have an unofficial design fee, but what about the initial consultation? Do we just do a flat rate for everyone? Or do we charge by the hour for that too? Let me know some of your thoughts and practices, it will be much appreciated
