• Paver walkway cost$15 to $35per sq ftA paver walkway costs $15 to $35 per square foot installed, typically $24, or $45 to $140 per linear foot for a 3 to 4 ft path. It costs more than a patio because a path is nearly all cuts and edges.
• Landscape lighting cost$80 to $300eachLandscape lighting costs $80 to $300 per fixture installed, typically $180, so a 12-fixture front yard is $2,000 to $4,000. Fixture count sets the budget; brass fixtures outlast kits by a decade.
• Fence line landscaping cost$15 to $60per linear ftPlanting along a fence costs $15 to $60 a linear foot, typically $30. A privacy screen is bought by plant height; keep plants off the boards and leave room to maintain the fence.
• Mulch delivery cost$30 to $55per cubic yardBulk mulch costs $30 to $55 a cubic yard delivered and $60 to $130 spread. One yard covers about 110 sq ft at 3 inches, and bags only beat bulk under about 2 yards.
• Garden bed cost$10 to $30per sq ftA new planting bed costs $10 to $30 a square foot installed, typically $18. Plant size and soil preparation set the price, and soil preparation decides whether the bed survives.
• Landscape design cost$500 to $3,000per projectA landscape designer charges $500 to $3,000 for a plan, a licensed landscape architect $2,000 to $10,000. The deliverable, not the title, sets the price, and a design-build firm's free design rarely is.
• Yard grading cost$0.30 to $1.50per sq ftYard grading costs $0.30 to $1.50 a sq ft, typically $0.80, so a 5,000 sq ft lawn is $1,500 to $7,500. Reshaping existing soil is cheap; bringing in fill and topsoil is what adds up.
• Land clearing cost$1,500 to $6,000per acreClearing land costs $1,500 to $6,000 an acre, typically $3,500, from light brush to mature woods. Forestry mulching is cheapest; stump grubbing and debris disposal drive the final bill.
• Hedge trimming cost$50 to $100per hourHedge trimming costs $50 to $100 per crew-hour, typically $70, so a 50 ft hedge is about $150 to $300 a visit. Height, access to both sides and clearing up decide the hours.
• Stump grinding cost$100 to $400eachStump grinding costs $100 to $400 per stump, typically $200, or $3 to $8 per inch. Access and buried hazards decide the price, and extra stumps on the same visit are much cheaper.
