Hi everyone, i recently got a landscaping job and i am having trouble figuring a labor price to tell the man. Below is a summary of the work:

-Create an approx. 14 X 3 curvy bed in the front of home out of lawn
-Remove medium size tree (8 in. diameter) and roots and dispose
-Turn soil and add peet top soil etc. with some minor leveling.
-Stacked brick retaining wall around bed 2 bricks high. (higher around edge to level)(customer wants bricks sitting on buried cinder blocks for stability so a 1 ft trench will need to be dug).
-pick up and planting of 1 rose bush, 1 butterfly bush, 3 spruce, 6 juniper a couple other shrubs and a few flats of impatiens.
-Mulch area

If anyone could help me decide on a labor price for this work i would greatly appreciate it. I'm thinking somewhere around 1000 but I'm not sure. I don't want to overprice and loose the customer.

Hmm. There's a lot that's left to the imagination here. What "bricks" are you using? (Hopefully not bricks!)

As for the labor cost - how long do you think each item will take you to do? Itemize each one. Add up the total hours. Multiply that by your labor rate and you have your number.
