How much does landscaping cost?
Landscaping prices depend on the kind of work more than in almost any other trade. Prices for a 900 ft² yard at a standard material level:
- Cleanup & refresh
- $2,650–$4,450
- Beds & sod
- $7,400–$12,300
- Hardscape (walls, stone, grading)
- $25,600–$42,700
Hardscape costs more than three times as much as beds and sod, because retaining walls, stone and drainage are much bigger jobs than planting.
Grading, drainage, the soil and the plants you choose all change the final price. Your landscaper confirms the quote after walking the yard.
