Frequently Asked Questions

!!! DO NOT EDIT !!!
Test goes here
How much does basically anything cost?
Because we offer a multitude of design, construction, and property care services, the price ranges listed on our website are general estimates. Final pricing for any project depends on several factors, such as project size and scope, material and labor costs, level of customization, and more.
How do I pay my bill?
We will send you a link to pay through Aspire. You will receive a link to set up your customer portal. You can pay via check, ACH or credit card.
Why do I have to pay a consultation fee?
Our $150 consultation fee ensures that our design-build professionals can provide the time and care to discuss each client’s vision, goals, and project scope. This fee also reduces the risk cancellations and helps us find serious clients who want to improve their outdoor living situations.
Why are you so expensive?
Landscape design and construction are major investments, and quality matters. Our pricing reflects the experience needed to properly plan your project, source the right materials, and manage skilled crews and subcontractors. This helps avoid costly mistakes, delays, and change orders.

We focus on doing it right the first time and that level of expertise and project management is what sets us apart.

How do payments work for these jobs?

Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.

Do you guys finance the jobs?
At the moment we do not offer financing.
Any idea how much this will cost?
Every project is different, so pricing varies based on scope, materials, and complexity. As we move through the design process, we’ll provide a budget range to help guide decisions and ensure we stay aligned. Once the design is complete, you’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal before construction starts. No surprises.
Is it more expensive to do a project in stages rather than all at once?
In many cases, yes. Completing a project in one coordinated phase is typically more efficient and cost-effective. It allows for better scheduling, fewer mobilizations, and more consistent material pricing.

When projects are broken into stages, costs can increase due to additional site visits, repeated setup, and potential changes in material or labor pricing over time. Proper planning helps us keep everything streamlined and as cost-efficient as possible.

Will there be additional fees outside my contract?
We work hard to make sure your contract clearly reflects the full scope and cost of your projects, so there are no hidden fees. If anything changes along the way, we’ll always communicate it with you and get approval before moving forward
What can I afford for my budget?
We work on projects of all sizes, from focused improvements to large-scale outdoor transformations. During the design process, we align the scope with your budget so you can make informed decisions without guesswork.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
Outdoor kitchens typically start around $12,000, with most projects ranging upward from there depending on size, materials, appliance and features.
