What to Expect in Your Landscaping Project
Landscaping spans soft elements like plants and lawns and hard elements like stone and structures. Here's how projects tend to break down.
Softscaping
Lawns, garden beds, trees, shrubs, and mulch. Grading and drainage often come first so water moves away from your home rather than pooling.
Hardscaping
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and stone or paver features. These are the structural, longer-lasting parts of a yard and usually the bigger line items.
Systems and finishing
Irrigation, landscape lighting, and edging tie a yard together and keep it healthy with less effort. Worth scoping up front rather than adding piecemeal later.
What affects the cost
- Yard size and current condition
- Balance of softscape (plants) vs. hardscape (stone/structures)
- Grading, drainage, or soil work needed
- Irrigation and lighting
- Access for equipment and material delivery
What to have ready
- Photos of your yard and any problem areas
- What you want to use the space for
- Inspiration photos or a rough plan
- Your budget and whether it's a one-time build or phased
