Every hedge quote in existence is four numbers wearing a trench coat: species, size at install, length of line, and site work. Understand the four and no contractor can mystify you again.
Ranked by impact
Size at install is the giant — the same 60-foot ficus line runs roughly $6,500 in 15-gallon stock and $45,000+ as an instant 36-inch box wall. Length is linear and honest: spacing determines tree count. Species moves the number 10–25% between our value and premium picks. Site work — removal, root barriers, irrigation — is the add-on layer, each priced per foot and published.
The takeaway
Fix your budget first, then let size flex against it. Every combination is priced live in the estimate — change species and size and watch the number move until it fits.
