What Determines Landscaping Cost?
1. Project Size
Larger yards require more materials, labour, excavation and preparation. Square footage is one of the biggest factors affecting the final cost.
2. Site Preparation
Removing existing landscaping, excavating, grading, compacting and preparing the base can represent a significant portion of a project.
3. Materials
Natural stone, concrete, pavers, artificial turf, fencing materials, soil and plants all have different material and installation costs.
4. Drainage
Poor drainage and water pooling may require additional grading, drainage systems or other site improvements.
5. Property Access
Limited access for trucks, machinery and material delivery can increase labour and handling requirements.
6. Project Complexity
Multi-stage backyard renovations involving pavers, turf, fencing, concrete and landscaping require more planning and coordination.
