At HDS, our mission is to deliver exquisite landscapes, and we always strive to do so within our clients’ budget. In order to do this, we provide detailed proposals alongside our designs to breakdown the costs of various landscape components. To further demystify the landscape design + build process, we’ve outlined the various levels of landscape installations below to give our clients an idea of some reasonable budget ranges they want to allocate for their outdoor renovation. Every landscape is different, and site conditions can vary, so this guide is supposed to offer some general parameters, but is highly customizable to each project.

Sample Client Project - before HDS Transformation

This rendering represents a standard Chicago backyard, with a small landing and staircase down to a concrete walkway and lawn between the house and garage. Although in square footage this space may be relatively small, it has a lot of potential, and can accommodate a range of different landscape upgrades, depending on your budget. 

*Please note that none of the budgets below include furniture. Furniture is shown to represent the scale of what could fit in these spaces, and during the design process we can work with clients’ existing furniture or suggest new furniture pieces to make sure the space lives up to its full potential.
