When a huge landscaping job is needed to be done how does this happen?

November 30th, 2008 by admin

didibo asked:


Who usually pays for the plants, sod, trees, dirt, mulch, etc…….. up front? The person doing the landscaping or the contractor? Does the contractor usually pay for the materials up front and the labor once the job is done? Or does it go like this, the contractor pays 1/2 up front and the other 1/2 once the job is done?

    If the landscaper is a subcontractor to the General contractor, the landscaper pays for materials & labor used on the job and submits the bill to the contractor for payment.

    If the landscaper is working directly for the owner, the same would apply.

    The General Contractor is not responsible for supplying the subcontractors with materials or labor to complete their portion of the job for which the subcontractor had bid.
