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.

Housing characteristics in Phoenix

Predominantly stucco and concrete block construction with flat or tile roofs defines Phoenix's residential character. Extreme desert heat makes energy-efficient cooling systems the single most important home system, and upgrades here deliver the clearest ROI. Monsoon season can bring sudden, intense flooding that causes water damage and requires proper drainage and waterproofing.

  • stucco and concrete block with tile roofs
  • extreme heat above 115°F makes cooling the top priority
  • monsoon season brings water damage risk
  • standard permitting and code requirements
  • broad selection of local and regional contractors
  • typical scheduling availability throughout the year
  • area, groundwork, and material choice determine the base costs
  • additional elements such as fencing and pergolas add to the total budget
