What affects the price
Landscaping costs depend on the specific needs of your property. Factors that shift the price include the square footage of the area, the complexity of your design, and the type of materials you choose, such as natural stone versus concrete pavers. Labor costs fluctuate based on site accessibility and the amount of grading or drainage work required before planting begins.
