Update to landscape designer

[sandandsea]

I have seen the price question come up quite a bit so I thought I’d share. We decided to use a landscape designer for our entire yard makeover and have signed with a company. Their work seems amazing and the quote was $7k for whole yard design, unlimited revisions, 3D modeling and technical designs for contractors, basically everything design/planning wise all in. They don’t pull permits or do surveys. We live in a vhcol area and have a corner lot that’s about 8k sq ft for reference.

After meeting them I’m super excited to (finally) get the project started and to see their ideas.

Thanks for this, I was one of the people looking for pricing sanity checks on this a few months ago. To add to the data points, we ended up paying about $3,100 for whole yard design, a few rounds of changes, CAD plans and pdf color image book of plants. No 3D modeling. Our lot is just under half an acre (~20k sf). Boston area, so HCOL.

For clarity, this is just for the design plans, and it was done by a registered landscape architect. The installation/implementation is much, much more, LOL, and we'll hopefully kicking that off in a few weeks.
