Project Estimates & Pricing Transparency

Understanding Irrigation Work Costs

At Beyond Curb Appeal, we believe in complete transparency about the realities of irrigation work. Unlike many home improvement projects, irrigation involves extensive underground work where conditions cannot be fully assessed until excavation begins. This means costs can vary significantly from initial estimates based on what we discover below the surface.

What Makes Irrigation Work Unpredictable

Irrigation projects regularly encounter hidden challenges that impact both timeline and costs. These underground surprises are a normal part of the industry, not exceptions. Each project presents unique challenges that only become apparent once work begins because we cannot assess the full condition of existing systems or underground obstacles until excavation begins. Common hidden challenges that frequently increase project costs include:

  • Damaged or deteriorated existing irrigation lines

  • Extensive root systems requiring removal or rerouting

  • Sections of rock, caliche, or hardpan soil

  • Difficult soil conditions (clay, sand, or compacted earth)

  • Existing plumbing, utilities, or structures not visible from the surface

  • Corroded or non-standard fittings and connections

  • Drainage issues or standing water

  • Inclement weather

Our Commitment to You

When applicable to a project, we provide detailed estimates after completing a system check on-site (which provides us with information necessary to also share a detailed report with our clients). These system check reports and their related estimates are based on visible conditions and our extensive experience, but we're upfront about the reality that final costs typically exceed initial estimates. Our goal is to set proper expectations from the start, communicate clearly throughout your project, and ensure you're never surprised by changes or additional costs. We are committed to full transparency and will discuss any additional costs with you before proceeding with work that exceeds the quoted amount as soon as we become aware of the need to do so.

An estimate sent by Beyond Curb Appeal via our project platform outlines our pricing approach, payment terms, and the factors that commonly affect project costs. Please review it carefully before approving any estimate, communicate with us about your needs to allow us an opportunity to accommodate them, and don't hesitate to contact us with questions.
