What should I expect my project to cost?
Here’s a guide breaking down estimates for a variety of individual projects. Keep in mind that these figures are ballpark ranges that can shift depending on your site, design choices, materials, and project scope. We’re happy to work with you to customize phases or offer a menu of options that align with your budget.
Design & Planning
• Design Packages: From an initial consultation, your tailored design package typically ranges costs between $1,000-$2,000. This package covers site assessment, concept development, detailed plans, and a complete itemized estimate for your review. This cost is waived when Terreworks installs the plan within the following year.
Hardscape & Landscape Renovations
• Full Backyard Remodel: A complete overhaul—including hardscapes, plants, and integrated features—can run between $30,000 and $70,000 depending on existing site conditions, your finish selections and design complexity.
• Small-Scale Landscape Enhancements: For a targeted refresh of an entryway or a spot of garden space, estimates usually fall between $10,000 and $20,000.
• Hardscape Features: Projects like patios, decks, pathways, or even paver installations generally range from $15,000 to $40,000, based on size and materials.
Fencing & Structural Elements
• Fence Installation: Quality fencing installation tends to range from $85 to $105 per linear foot—this accounts for premium materials and meticulous installation work.
• Retaining Walls & Grading: If you’re looking to improve drainage or add eye-catching structure, these projects often fall in the $10,000 to $30,000 range, depending on length, materials, and overall complexity.
Planting & Environmental Enhancements
• Plant Renovations: Projects focused on refreshing your garden’s plantings can generally be estimated in the $5,000 to $10,000 range, tailored to the specific array of plants and their installation needs.
• Restoration & Mitigation Projects: For projects that involve habitat restoration or environmental upgrades, costs can vary greatly—but baseline projects might start around $15,000 and increase with scope and the need for sustainable practices.
Systems & Features
• Irrigation Systems: A custom system for your yard typically runs between $3,000 and $7,000, ensuring your new landscape gets the right amount of water efficiently.
• Outdoor Lighting: Enhancing your property’s ambiance with layered lighting might fall in the $2,000 to $6,000 range.
• Water Features: If you envision a pond, fountain, or similar water element, these installations usually range from $10,000 to $25,000 depending on design and complexity.
