In this section, you'll see a breakdown of what elements can be included in your designs with a $60K budget for a Backyard.
While $10k is a lot of money, it’s important to remember that landscaping is done well with quality materials and quality craftsmanship is expensive. For example, a budget of $10K will likely get you a planting layout with moderate spacing that consists of immature plants in 1-gallon containers, and bark mulch will be used to cover the planting area. With a budget of $10K, you will not get many mature plants or trees. Irrigation systems at this scale may also be very simple.
✅ Plants:
Moderate spacing: not dense, but not too far apart.
No mature trees.
All 1-gallon plants.
Use groundcover plants to spread and cover more area.
Bark mulch to cover the planting area.
✅ Hardscape:
