Landscaping costs vary based on project scope, materials, and site conditions. Small projects like garden bed installations may start around $2,000–$5,000, while full landscape renovations with hardscaping, irrigation, and planting can range from $15,000 to $75,000 or more. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for every project. Read our detailed landscaping cost guide for more information.

Hardscaping refers to the non-living structural elements of a landscape — pavers, concrete patios, retaining walls, pathways, and outdoor kitchens. Softscaping includes the living elements — plants, trees, shrubs, turf, and garden beds. A well-designed landscape combines both to create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces. Landscape Associates of CA specializes in both hardscaping and softscaping services.

In Northern California, the ideal time for most landscaping projects is spring (March–May) and fall (September–November). These seasons offer moderate temperatures and adequate soil moisture for planting. Hardscaping projects like paver patios, retaining walls, and concrete work can be done year-round since they don’t depend on growing conditions.

Most cosmetic landscaping like planting, mulching, and lawn installation does not require a permit. However, structural work such as retaining walls over 4 feet, significant grading, new drainage systems, and outdoor kitchens with gas or electrical connections typically require building permits. Our team handles the permitting process for projects that require it.
