Landscape Pricing Guide for Properties
in Ellicott City, MD, and Surrounding Areas
No Two Landscaping Projects Are Exactly the Same
With over 60 years of landscaping experience, we can confidently say that no two landscaping projects are alike, which is why landscape pricing varies greatly. When budgeting for your project, you'll have to consider the size of and site conditions on your property, site preparation and removals, what plants and features you'd like to add or upgrade, which materials you'd like to use, and more.
At WH Boyer Landscape Services, we're committed to providing accurate quotes for your project after your consultation. However, we understand that you'd like to get a better idea of what your project might cost, so our landscape pricing page is designed to help you understand what to expect.
Landscape Design $300-6,000+
Your new or updated outdoor space starts here! No matter what you're looking for, a good design is the roadmap to a new residential landscape.
Our detailed landscape design plans provide you with a clear image of the changes you seek for your unique property. Whether you need front yard updates or a complete landscape transformation, we can help you create the landscape design you've been dreaming of.
Your design includes:
- To-scale 2D drawing of the site plan
- Hardscape and landscape feature locations
- Pictures for inspiration
- Plant images
- 3D and color designs, as well as construction documentation, are available upon request for an additional cost and timeline
- Our design projects will include installation by our crew—we typically don't do design-only projects
Landscape Installation $5,000-50,000+
What value should you invest in your new landscape? It all depends on how you use your space, but 10% of your home value is a great place to start when budgeting for outdoor enhancements. This is what that budget can do for you:
- Increase your home value
- Fix drainage challenges with precision grading equipment and downspout underground piping
- Provide more accessibility with natural stone or paver walkways
- Create an ideal space for backyard entertaining with natural stone or paver patios
- Add beauty with decorative fieldstone boulder accents
- Bring in variety throughout the four seasons with various plantings
- Softly illuminate your new landscape and your home's exterior after dark with accent lighting
- Grow a lush green lawn with sod or hydroseeding
- Remove slopes and extend your usable space with retaining walls
- Enhance your space with fire features, pergolas, pavilions, water features, and outdoor kitchens
Your outdoor living area is personal, and the overall cost will be determined by the size of your space, the features you'd like to add, and the materials you decide to use. Here are the general price ranges for some popular features and services:
- Site preparation, removals, grading: $2,000-25,000+
- Drainage: $2,750-15,000+

WH Boyer Landscape Services is a design-build firm specializing in unique projects. We generally work with stone and pavers, but we will do concrete if there is an unusual design involved or if it includes stone or paver detailing. If you are interested in a pool with a standard concrete deck, we would not be the ideal option for you.
Pools start around $100,000; a pool with a paver or stone deck ranges from $100,000-200,000 and up. There are many features you can add to your pool area that will change the price of the project:

(engineering for walls over 3 feet tall starts at $1,500) - Water features: $5,000-20,000+
- Fire pits: $3,500-8,000+
- Fireplaces: $10,000-30,000+
- Pool pavilion or structure: $35,000-80,000+

We offer maintenance services for our clients. These services are customized on a monthly, quarterly, or spring-and-fall schedule and may include:
- General bed cleanup

These prices cover a majority of what it takes to keep your landscape maintained in pristine shape throughout the year. The major drivers of changing prices are the square footage of turf area and mulch beds, as well as the amount of plant material or tree coverage. Many of these services are completed within a single visit when desired. Our customers choose the services they need for custom landscaping plans designed to fit their property and lifestyle.
*All pricing is based on the specifics of your property's features (size of turf to be maintained and size of landscape beds, etc.). There is not one cookie-cutter price that fits everyone's property.
