Draft Landscaping Contract

We are anxious to gain new customers and we bids for services are generally lower than other residential landscaping and lawn care companies in this area. Because of our pricing and because we are so prompt and efficient in the fulfillment of our contracts, our business is beginning to do very well after less than two years.
A friend of my parents is planning to spend the rest of this year and half of next (2012-2013) exploring the wild and beautiful , but untamed, continent of Africa and the friend while she is in Africa, wants me and my partner to completely re-landscape the area surrounding her house. The landscaping must be totally completed before she returns from Africa. This project will amount to a significant amount of work for me and my partner because it will include, among other things, removing all existing vegetation and grass and replacing it with the landscaping to be decided by my parent's friend. If our price is good, if we can economically dispose of the existing vegetation, and if the materials (trees, bushes, etc.) are acquired at reasonable cost, we could make a significant profit.
The name of our landscaping company is "Kearney Big Tree Landscaping Specialists" (also known as KBT) and is operated under an informal arrangement between me and my partner. The name of my parent's friend if Gloria big Buck, and she lives in that large house at the top of the hill at south end of that town just southeast of Kearney on highway 10 ( the one with the pink shutters and the large cupola in the front.
