Question

In your new home, you are planning to completely re-landscape the backyard. The yard is 17 feet long and 20 feet wide. A contractor has said that for labor and materials, the cost to re-landscape will be $15 per square foot. How much will the landscaping project cost?

Answer 1

Hi, Abby!!

Okay, you first need to know the area of the yard.

A = l x w

 

A = 17 x 20 = 340 square feet

So now you need to calculate the cost.

It costs $15 / square foot

 

So, 340 square feet times $15 / square foot

340 x 15 = 5100

So, it will cost $5100  to re-landscape.
