Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscaping cost?
Basic front yard landscaping costs $1,500 to $8,000. A full yard design and installation runs $5,000 to $25,000. Costs depend on yard size, plant selection, and hardscape elements.
What is the best time to landscape?
Spring and fall are the best times for planting in most climates. Hardscape work (patios, walls) can be done year-round in milder climates.

Yes. Good landscaping can increase home value by 5-12%. Curb appeal improvements like a professionally designed front yard have one of the highest ROIs.
How much does lawn care cost per month?

Should I hire a landscaper or do it myself?
Hire a professional for design, hardscape, grading, and irrigation. DIY is fine for planting beds, mulching, and basic maintenance if you have the time and tools.
