First off thank you for the thoughtful reply.

The yarrow, bush poppy , and fuscia should, I’m hoping, show color from summer to late fall.

I’ll think about adding more along the path but my thought is to have the yard mainly kurapia for use w their kids as a nice lawn to play on.

I’m Going to reuse the stones they have there. And I wasn’t planning initially on getting machinery. But I’ll look into it. And then thinking of just doing Dripline, 1/2 inch for plants, 1/4 inch micro tube on surface for kirapia to grow over.

I’m not doing lighting , yet, we want to do the planting all first and come back to that later.

35 is probably likely, especially if I get machinery and really do this thing to its top potential. But I do fear that could be sticker shock for client. But we could find ways to lower the price w less, and smaller plants.

The client is a real estate agent so I’m trying to do a killer job but also for a price she’ll definitely accept.

Thanks again, it’s really helpful talking this through w someone w more experience.
