We have been trying to get bids to do a medium size landscape project in our 20 X 40 yard. Basically, removing topsoil, laying pavers or decking, edging and maybe a drywell.

Problem is, we cant even get anyone to return our calls much less come out and provide a bid. I have tried at leat 10 local contactors over the last 6 months and only 1 has even come over to look at the space. That person said they would provide a bid and never did. What is going on in the landscape world? Is there such a glut of jobs out there that no one is even remotely available. I am considering starting my own landscape company since there is apparently a severe shortage and wide-open market.

Seriously though, can anyone offer any suggestions or help?

Thanks!
