Hidden Fees: The New Money Maker

Hidden fees are starting to pop up everywhere.  Hotels add resort fees, repair facilities add shop supply fees, trash removal companies add environmental fees, car dealerships add DOC fees, many companies charge administrative fees and now landscapers are beginning to add hidden fees to increase revenue.  Some of these extra costs that landscapers use include: disposal fees, fuel surcharges, equipment set up and stabilization fees, transportation fees, overtime fees, shipping fees, and warranty surcharges.  

Make sure you get a detailed contract that explains what you are getting and the cost.  It's important to look at the individual charges and bottom line prices to see if there are any additional hidden fees in your contract. 

Squeals Landscaping never adds additional fees to our itemized contracts.  We consider all of these fees operating costs and they are rolled into our prices.  The price we agree on is the final price you pay.

Five Star Rating!
Squeals does exemplary work. We hired them to do pavers for our driveway and we continue to admire the exquisite work. The owner, David Biel, has honor and integrity. He stands behind his work, and his pride in his company is always apparent. Since our driveway was completed, I have hired Squeals for two additional jobs, and referred them to several of our friends. Nobody is disappointed. They demonstrate excellent workmanship and they stand behind their work - customer service is unparalleled.* Gigi W. | Read More Testimonials
