What changes the price

Two yards on the same street can cost very different amounts. These are the things that move the number.

  • Size of the spaceA few new beds cost less than a whole back yard.
  • MaterialsNatural stone, pavers and gravel all cost different amounts.
  • DrainageA soggy yard needs French drains or a rain garden before anything else.
  • Slope and accessA sloped yard may need retaining walls or steps.
  • ExtrasLighting, an outdoor kitchen or a fire feature add to the total.
  • PhasingBuilding in phases spreads the cost over time.

Build it one phase at a time

You don't have to do everything at once. Your design comes with a phased plan, so you know what each step costs before you start.

  1. The water and the hard parts

    Drainage, plus the patio or path. These go in first, because everything else sits on top of them.

  2. The planting

    Beds, borders and drip irrigation. Autumn and spring are the best times to plant.

  3. The extras

    Lighting, a covered patio or a fire feature, whenever you're ready for them.

The design fee paid for itself — we knew exactly what each phase would cost.
