What affects the price

The total square footage of your yard is the biggest factor, followed by the specific types of plants, hardscaping materials, or irrigation systems you choose. If your property requires significant grading, clearing away heavy debris, or accessibility challenges for our equipment, those tasks add labor hours. We also consider how much ongoing maintenance the design requires. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Large landscaping rocks are often used for accents, dry creek beds, or as a natural alternative to mulch. You might need these if you are designing a modern garden or looking to fill in large spaces that are difficult to mow. The price typically varies based on the weight of the rocks and the equipment needed to position them correctly in your landscape. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
During the heat of summer, our focus shifts to hydration and lawn health. We monitor irrigation timers to ensure plants aren't stressed by the sun, and we keep up with routine mowing to prevent weeds from taking over. If your yard needs a quick color boost, we can install heat-tolerant annuals that stay bright even during July and August.
