This is deeply bottom of the barrel.
Good builders will have a ballpark figure for ANY design. And good builders will make sure they are not designing. They are simply there to execute. They are design agnostic - they have to be because there are so many bad designers out there.
But I have to say, clients who nickel and dime every square inch are people to avoid. If they need a written job estimate for something that hasn't been designed, they are obviously economically constrained and will be a pain to work with. A good client has already committed to the idea and needs it to be competently designed and executed.[/quote]

I agree. In my case, I was ready and committed. I was ready to spend up to $15K on plants and implementation. Obvs, I never told them that. I've decided to take a class and do it myself after this horrible experience.

The plants the designer mentioned were nothing that I had not already found myself on an extension website.
