What drives the number
Three things move a landscaping estimate.
01
Yard size and scope
Square footage sets the base price. The scope you pick, from a mulch refresh to a full-yard rebuild, sets how far it climbs from there.
02
Extras
Soil amendment and grading, seasonal color, and landscape lighting each add a line item, priced separately in the calculator.
03
Site conditions
Slope, existing turf or bed removal, soil quality, and how close a truck can get all change labor time on top of the number above.
Common questions
Landscaping cost, straight answers.
How much does landscaping cost per square foot in Western PA?
Most projects run $1 to $3 per square foot of yard. A mulch and bed refresh sits at the low end. Add soil amendment, more planting, and lighting, and a full-yard rebuild climbs toward the top of that range.
What's the difference between a bed refresh and a full-yard landscape?
A mulch and bed refresh edges, weeds, and re-mulches what's already there, with a few plant swaps. A full-yard landscape adds trees, shrubs, and perennials, amends the soil, and mulches the whole property. Same crew, different scope.
Does adding hardscape change the number?
Yes. A walkway, small patio, or short retaining wall section stacked onto a planting plan usually adds 40 to 60 percent to the landscaping number. Run the wall separately in our retaining wall calculator if that's the bigger piece.
What do extras like lighting or seasonal color actually cost?
Landscape lighting runs $1,200 to $2,500 for a basic bed and pathway package. Seasonal color, rotating annuals in spring and fall, runs $400 to $900 a season. Soil amendment and grading run $500 to $1,500 depending on what the yard needs.
A yard is drainage, soil, and light before it's pretty.
We haul our own mulch and topsoil, and every full-yard job gets a plant list before we break ground. Get a number here, then call for a walk-through and a firm quote.
