This real landscaping quote totaled $3,750 and scored 32 out of 100 on QuoteScore, which reads as overpriced: 1 of its 3 priced line items came in above the normal market range. The largest line was Initial Spring Cleanup Package (Weed, Power Rake, Mow, Edge, Aerate, Fertilize, Pre-Emergent) at $3,750, against a fair range of $1,300 to $3,730. For comparison, across the 185 landscaping quotes QuoteScore has scored, the average is 58.7 out of 100 and 37.8% scored under 50. A score is a pricing benchmark, not proof of overcharging.

A QuoteScore of 70 or higher means the quote sits inside the normal market range for the work and region. Under 50 means at least one line was priced above that range. Higher quotes can be legitimate: better parts, a longer warranty, a harder job. The useful move is to ask about the specific lines marked High or Red flag, not to argue the total.
Landscaping is one of the 31 categories in the public QuoteScore dataset, currently 185 quotes with an average score of 58.7.
