Irrigation Needs

Sprinkler systems, drip lines, or smart watering setups add cost but save long-term on water bills.

Material & Plant Choices

Going with native, drought-resistant plants may cost more upfront but require less maintenance.

Hardscape Features

Patios, retaining walls, gravel paths, and lighting can increase your budget quickly.

Sod vs. Seed: What’s Cheaper in the Long Run?

• Grass seeding is cheaper but requires more time, care, and watering to establish.
