We believe that budget needs to be a central part of the design process!

At the beginning of the Yardzen design process, you'll go through our proprietary Wishlist exercise to help you understand what configuration of hardscape and softscape elements will work in your yard, and at what budget. With that knowledge, you'll share your all-in budget with your design team.

  • If you plan to phase your build-out, as many of our clients do, this is the budget for all phases.

Your designer will then create your design with that number in mind, however, there are always variables β€” like the materials and plant sizes you ultimately choose β€” that can ratchet cost up or bring it down. When we match you with a contractor, budget is usually where that conversation starts. We believe budget needs to be a central part of the process in order for us to deliver a design you can implement.

Please note that we recommend a minimum budget of $15,000 to take advantage of our contractor matching services.

We can design for most budgets, but please reach out if you want to chat about your specific constraints!
