Transparent Proposals, Open Communication, and Landscaping Education to Help You Proceed With Confidence
At Tri-Valley Landscaping, we customize each project proposal according to your needs and wishes, but it helps to know what to expect from your landscape pricing before you start the process. After years of experience in the Gilbert, Arizona area, we can give you this guide to help you plan your design, installation, and more.
While this is a good starting point to help you narrow your options and set your expectations, it's important to note that landscape pricing will vary greatly depending on a variety of factors:
- Property size (this is the biggest determining factor for your investment)
- Plant, material, and product selections
- The distance of your property from our office
- The condition and accessibility of your yard
- Project timeframe
- Licensing and permitting (especially for commercial landscape installations)

Typical Landscape Investment Ranges at a Glance
Many residential landscape projects fall into a few common investment ranges depending on property size, scope, and feature selection. These ranges are examples to help you understand how different elements influence overall cost.
Foundational Landscape Projects
