Understanding your discount
You can apply your discount to either Resource Central's Lawn Removal services or remove your turf yourself and receive Garden In A Box kits, or do a little of both.

If you choose Garden In A Boxes, your discount will be applied to them first. For Lawn Removal services, we charge $2.50 per square foot. Your discount will deduct $1.50 per square foot until it's completely used up.

Once the discount is exhausted, you'll be charged $2.50 per square foot for Lawn Removal services.

Feel free to use our calculator to determine the best project size, garden selections, or services that suit your needs. Experiment with different options to see how it affects your final price.
