Good things can come without a plan, but landscaping is not one of them. That is why the first step that we will take when you give us a call, will be to set up a time to look at your project and understand the vision that you have for your outdoor space. We will walk through the project with you, not only to understand the layout that you want in one place or the type of rock in another, but also so we can understand your dream, because when we know your dream, there might be adjustments that can be made to your original plan, that you did not even realize were possible!

We take your ideas and bring your dream to life…or rather build it with rock and retaining wall block!

I will be honest. We will probably not be your cheapest landscaping option. If you want something slapped together, we are not the landscaping company that you are looking for. I believe that the old adage, you get what you pay for, applies to most situations in life and most definitely applies to landscaping. At Blue A.R.C. Services LLC, we don’t cut corners. Every product we install, from the weed barrier we put down to the retaining wall block in your wall, is quality material. Our goal is that when we leave a project, the only reason you call us to come back is that you found one more dream you want to turn into reality.

However, our goal is not to sell you on the most expensive products that will not actually bring you the results that you are looking for or products that simply don’t fit into your dream. We don’t have one materials supplier, because we want to be able to get the materials that you want for the best possible price. We are more than happy to work with you, to see if it is possible to make your dream into a reality and not break the bank!

Because of this, we will often ask what your approximate budget is, not so we can match the number you give us, but rather, so we can tailor the project and materials to better fit into your financial dream. It is often the case that one type or color of rock can be $40 to $50 a ton more than another type or color. If you are bringing in 10 tons of rock, that adds up pretty quickly. It always makes us happy, when we can work on your dream project and save you money at the same time.

An estimate is an approximate cost of the project, that can be altered as needed to cover materials that were not calculated correctly, man hours that were not accounted for or just simply costs that were overlooked. The reason that we here at Blue A.R.C. Services LLC don’t often give out estimates, because we feel it is not fair to the customer. If you are given an estimate, it is not uncommon for it to cost you more than the stated price, but how often does it cost you less?

A bid is a fixed amount for the entire project that has been laid out. Unless the project needs to be changed, either due to you wanting to change an aspect of the project or coming across something that should be fixed, before continuing, such as water not draining away from your foundation, the bid that you receive has the exact amount that you will pay. No hidden fees, no extra material cost, no paying for someone’s inability to correctly calculate the cost of the project.

Here at Blue A.R.C. Services LLC, we will only give you bids for your projects with the only exception being occasionally for hydroseeding, if we did not come and look at the project in person. If you are unsure if you received a bid or an estimate, just look at the upper right hand corner of the document you received. Just above the date, it will say bid or estimate.

We look forward to sending you a bid for your next project!
