Roof-Reliant Landscaping™ Step 13E: Cost Estimating PHASE 3: Estimating Your Plant Material

by Nate Downey

In general, the larger the plant material, the greater the price tag. It is usually most cost effective to invest in larger sizes of slower-growing plants and smaller sizes of plants that will grow quickly, even with modest watering. To accurately predict the costs of plants, contact a local plant nursery or landscape professional. From a water budgeting perspective, also keep in mind that larger plants require more water to get established than smaller plants of the same species.
