Material by name
Shredded hardwood, dyed black, cedar, river rock. Say exactly what they're getting.
Labour, delivery, minimum
Separate lines build trust; a minimum charge protects small jobs.
Optional add-ons
Edging and weed barrier as clearly priced options.
Validity and terms
How long the price holds, payment terms, and that satellite measurements are confirmed on site.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a quote and an estimate?
An estimate is an approximate price that can change; a quote is a fixed price for a defined scope, valid for a stated period. Satellite-measured prices should be presented as estimates until confirmed on site.
How long should a mulch quote be valid?
30 days is common. Material prices move seasonally, so avoid open-ended quotes.
