What moves the number
- Slope. A hillside lot may need cut and fill before anything else.
- Tree count. Past Lake County's 30-inch exemption, a permit and its costs come in.
- Septic. No sewer means paying for a site evaluation plus the tank and drainfield excavation.
- Weather. Angi's Orlando guide says summer storms stretch machine time.
