Cost factors
The total cost usually consists of:
- Paving and groundwork: 30-45% of the total
- Planting and soil: 20-30% of the total
- Elements (fencing, pergola, borders): 20-35% of the total
- Labor costs: 25-40% of the total
These percentages can vary depending on the specific elements, paving material, and complexity of the groundwork.
Why do prices vary?
- Area and groundwork: A large garden requires more material and labor hours. Significant slopes or clay soil makes the groundwork more complex and expensive.
- Paving material: Concrete paving is inexpensive, while fired clay bricks, natural stone, or composite are considerably more expensive but offer a higher finish level.
- Planting and soil type: The choice of perennials, hedges, or trees has a major impact on material costs. Drainage or a new soil layer may add additional costs.
- Additional elements: A fence, pergola, pond, outdoor lighting, or outdoor kitchen adds substantially to the total budget.
