Landscaping costs depend on what you're starting with and what you want to achieve. These factors explain most of the variation between estimates.
A small garden refresh and a full backyard transformation involve completely different budgets and crews.
Concrete pavers, natural stone, and poured concrete all carry different price points. Mature plants cost significantly more than young ones.
Uneven terrain, poor drainage, or rocky soil can significantly increase prep costs before any planting or paving begins.
Adding automated irrigation or landscape lighting increases upfront cost but adds long-term value, convenience, and plant health.

From consultation to a yard you'll use
Most landscaping projects follow the same four phases.
Site assessment
A landscaper evaluates your yard's drainage, sun exposure, soil, and existing plantings to understand what's possible.
Design & quote
You get a concept plan and itemized pricing covering plants, hardscape materials, grading, and labor.
Installation
Most projects take days to a week depending on scope. Irrigation and hardscape may require separate phases.
Care guidance
Your landscaper should walk you through watering schedules, seasonal maintenance, and any plant guarantees before wrapping up.
Landscaping questions, answered
Spring and fall are generally ideal - moderate temperatures reduce transplant stress on plants. Hardscaping can be done year-round in most climates.
Budgets vary widely: $5,000–$15,000 for a modest renovation, $20,000–$50,000+ for a complete outdoor living transformation with hardscape, planting, and irrigation.
Softscape refers to living elements - plants, trees, grass, and soil. Hardscape refers to non-living structures like patios, walkways, retaining walls, and edging.
Quality pavers, properly installed with good drainage and a compacted base, can last 25–50 years. The base preparation matters far more than the pavers themselves.
It depends on your municipality and the scale of the project. Retaining walls over a certain height often require permits; large patios near property lines may as well. Your landscaper should know local requirements.
