[QUOTE="frank123, post: 7198, member: 649"] Experience is the best teacher. If you're going to start charging for your time, you need to have an eye for drainage, aesthetics, and maintainability. Around here, most of the problems I see are poor grading for drainage. Nothing will alienate customers like water in the basement or pools of water in their new yard. It comes with practice for most people, but a laser is good insurance. There are several good threads that discuss pricing strategies if you dig around in the Forum a little. One other thing; if you're doing the final grade, don't skimp on topsoil. It may take a while to educate your customers, but the extra expense will be well worth it down the road if a nice lawn is important to the people buying the homes. Frank [/QUOTE]
