Front Yard and Backyard Landscaping FAQs
How much should I budget for a landscape project?
Budgeting for a landscape project depends on the vision and scope of your plans. A custom garden design might start in the low five figures, while a full backyard transformation with luxury pavers, premium artificial grass, and bespoke features can range from $50,000 to $100,000 or more.
If you are basing your landscaping budget on the value of your home, it is common to budget approximately 10% of the value of your home for landscape design and installation.
To get a better idea of how much your project might cost, you can start by using our Artificial Turf Cost Calculator or Paver Cost Calculator.
You can also get started today by scheduling a free estimate and design consultation.
How much does it cost to consult a landscape architect?
Landscape architects typically charge between $70 and $150 per hour or, if paid by a percentage of the overall project, between 10% and 15% of the total project cost.
What is the difference between a landscaper and a landscape designer?
Landscapers construct and maintain landscapes, providing services like lawn care, weeding, pruning, and installation of sod, walkways, or patios. Landscape designers plan and design landscapes and outdoor living areas to ensure visual appeal, functionality, sustainability, and personalization to fit your needs.
How much do landscapers charge per hour in San Diego?
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per hour per person to maintain your yard or complete landscaping projects.
What factors should I consider when designing my backyard?
When designing your landscape, consider how the space will enhance your lifestyle and complement your home’s architecture. Include high-end features like outdoor kitchens, luxury fire pits, and elegant drought-resistant gardens. Choosing a top-tier crew over an average landscaper will guarantee a space that radiates quality and stands the test of time..
How long does a landscape design project take?
The timeline for a landscape design project varies with the level of customization. Smaller enhancements might take a few weeks, while a comprehensive outdoor makeover with custom features can extend to several months. The duration depends on the complexity of the design and the bespoke elements involved.
What Landscape Design Styles are Common in San Diego?
While you will find everything from xeriscapes to formal English gardens in San Diego, the most common landscape design styles feature low-maintenance, low-water landscapes with a focus on outdoor living, drought tolerance, functionality, and visual appeal.
Does Install-It-Direct Landscape with Plants, Succulents, or Gravel?
Yes, we can include a variety of materials and plant options to fit your needs, budget, and overall goals for the project.
Does Install-It-Direct Design for Earthquakes, Wildfires, or Mudslides?
Depending on your particular needs, we can provide landscape designs that help make your property better prepared for natural disasters. This might include retaining walls or erosion control to minimize mudslide risk, fire-resistant plants and hardscapes to create a defensible space around your home, or paver hardscapes that are more flexible and resilient if an earthquake occurs.

- Do you have worker’s comp and general liability insurance?
