Our Cost vs. Value Philosophy
Homeowners will often put a project up to bid and select the company based on the lowest price. The driving question in reviewing bidding companies should not be “Am I going to pay too much for this product?” but rather, “Who will provide the best product and service relative to the cost?”
The 19th century English critic John Ruskin spoke well when he said:
“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s more unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that’s all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it’s well to add something for the risk you take. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better. There is hardly anything in the world that some men cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man’s lawful prey.”
We have built into every cost estimate not only the highest quality product available but also our determination to honor scheduling and contractual detail. Our commitment to excellence makes for a pleasant, hassle-free landscaping experience. The extra miles we go and our dedication to daily excellence are always reflected in the estimate but never on the plan. We gain most of our customers by way of referral, regardless of the other bidding companies. This is how we know our work speaks for itself. We love customers that recognize our truly great value. We are confident that after working with D & A Dunlevy you will refer us again and again.
