Vegetation Protection

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost for protection of low vegetation on a jobsite (lawns, ground covers, low plantings). This cost is based on a covering of simple plastic sheeting, held down with rocks or whatever is available-- as protection against paint spatter, dust or sawdust during a painting or exterior remodeling project.

This item can also be used when covering sidewalks, driveways or any other relatively flat surface.

Unit Size

One square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure that one unskilled worker can cover about 1000 square feet per hour.

Material Costs

One square foot of 6 mil plastic sheeting, with a little duct tape.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Just type in the area that will need to be covered. If the project takes more than a day or two, you will probably need to remove and replace the covering several times, so figure the total area covered times the number of applications.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on job costs from a few projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.
