Landscaping costs depend on the specific needs of your property. Several factors influence the final total, including the overall square footage, the current condition of your soil, and the types of plants or materials you select for the project. Larger yards or steep slopes often require more labor hours and specialized equipment to manage safely. Choosing premium stone, complex irrigation setups, or mature trees will also shift the budget higher compared to basic lawn maintenance or simple mulch installations.
