Rs 380 to Rs 850 per sqft plus GST 12 percent works contract for Mughal charbagh restoration on or adjacent to Bara Imambara, Chota Imambara, Husainabad Clock Tower, Asafi Mosque, Residency, La Martiniere or Chattar Manzil.

Heritage labour premium 50 to 100 percent. Allow 8 to 16 weeks for consents.
Heat-tolerant species: neem, bougainvillea, ixora, oleander, frangipani (champa), hibiscus, croton, dwarf coconut, palms, henna and sandalwood. Avoid water-hungry European species and tropical evergreens that fail in April to June 47C dust storms. Quote drip irrigation (Netafim, Jain Irrigation, Rivulis) with timer controller, mulch (cocopeat, rice husk, bark) and shade structures. Winterise tender plants for January cold-wave dips below 7C.
Rs 2.50 to Rs 6.50 per sqft per month plus GST 18 percent for AOA or RWA-tendered annual maintenance in Gomti Nagar (226010), Sushant Golf City (226030), Aliganj (226024) and Indira Nagar (226016) apartment complexes (Eldeco, Omaxe, Ansal, Shipra).

Hourly rates are ₹1,400 to ₹2,700 in the US, £28-65 in the UK, A₹1,500-110 in Australia, R180-500 in South Africa, and C₹1,300-95 in Canada. Most landscapers prefer fixed-price quotes for projects over ₹56,000 because hourly invites scope creep.
The big variables are material grade (concrete vs natural stone), plant size (4L vs 100L), and how much earthwork is included. A 'cheap' quote usually uses budget materials and small plants that look sparse for years. Compare the materials list, not just the total.
Site walks and concept conversations are usually free for jobs over ₹84,000. A scaled drawing with plant schedule and hardscape detail takes 4-8 hours and many landscapers charge ₹8,400-1,500 for that. Worth it because the drawing becomes the contract.
For jobs over ₹1,40,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare the plant schedule, hardscape materials, irrigation spec, and establishment guarantee. The cheapest quote often skips drainage, irrigation, or guarantee.
Most shrubs need 6 months of regular watering to establish; trees need 12-18 months. Lawn rolls knit in 4-6 weeks. Quote a maintenance plan covering at least the first 3 months so the investment does not die in summer.
