Burlington, Vermont
Cedar Row Landscapes plants beds, lays paths and builds dry stone walls, agrees the plan and the price on the ground first, and builds the garden to that.
Each service names what it covers and what it starts at. Nothing is quoted as a single flat figure when the work varies with the site.
Beds cut, soil improved, plants set out for approval, then mulched.
from $950
A dug and compacted base, gravel or stone on top, and a firm edge.
from $1,200
Fieldstone laid without mortar and leaning into the slope it holds.
from $1,400
A garden job is agreed before it starts. The site is walked and measured with the owner, the plan is described back in plain terms, and the price is confirmed at that point rather than after the work. Where a site cannot take what is asked for, because of shade, slope, drainage or buried services, Cedar Row Landscapes says so on the visit.
Every job follows the same order, from the first message to the final walk round. Nothing is dug before the price is agreed.
A message naming the property, the result wanted and any date the work should start by. Photographs of the area help, though they guide the site visit rather than replacing it.
The area is paced out and measured, and sun, slope, soil and drainage are noted. Bed lines and path routes are marked on the ground with stakes and string, not guessed from a photograph.
The plan is described back in plain terms and the price is confirmed before any turf is lifted. Where the ground will not take what is asked for, the crew says so at this point.
The work is built to the marks, the site is raked and cleared, and the owner walks it with the crew at the end so anything that needs adjusting is done while the tools are still there.

Four people share the site work and the tools. Each one leads a different part of the work, and each card says which services that person handles.
Grounds and maintenance lead
Runs the seasonal maintenance rounds and most of the site visits that start a job, noting sun, slope, soil and access before a plan is drawn. The role explains what a garden will need to stay in shape, which work can wait for the right season and how often a crew has to visit to keep it there.
Planting and soil specialist
Plans and plants beds, borders and kitchen gardens, starting with the soil rather than the plant list. Each site is checked for drainage, light and existing roots before plants are chosen, and every plant is set out on the ground for approval before a hole is dug.
The crew set every plant out on the ground in its pot before a single hole was dug.

The price was written down on the site visit and did not move, and the wall looks as if it has always been there.

The prices published on this website matched what I was quoted in the yard, which is not something I can say about every trade.

Start with the service descriptions and prices. Contact the business when two options appear equally suitable.
Published prices apply to the stated scope. Any “from” or custom price requires a confirmed estimate before work begins.
Bring photographs of the area and explain the intended result, known site constraints and timing. References guide the conversation but are not copied automatically.
Yes. Use the contact form to name a preferred staff member; availability is confirmed separately.
A description of the site and the result wanted is enough to start. The crew replies with the days a site visit can be made.
It is published in the open, where anyone can copy it, so it is left short of its final polish and audit pass. The design chosen is fully audited and polished before it goes live.
