DESIGN FEES

As a very general rule of thumb, most property owners who choose professional landscape construction services typically invest a total of around 10-20% of the value of their entire property. Sometimes less, sometimes more. This figure depends entirely on what an individual client needs and chooses for their property’s exterior spaces, as well as a balance of personal and return on investment value for their property.

Likewise, most property owners who choose professional landscape architecture services typically invest around 10-20% of the overall cost of landscape construction for design fees. Sometimes less, sometimes more - this figure varies for each individual project.

In summary, landscape architecture design fees typically range from 1-4% of the value of an entire property. Partial property / focal area design and phasing approaches generally fall well below this percentage, but depend on an individual project’s size, scope and complexity.

My hourly rate is $120/hr and I estimate my fee proposals based on an estimated number of hours to fully complete a client’s selected design process scope and requirements, rather than a fixed percentage of projected construction costs (as many architects do). Yet, the above-stated, industry-standard percentage rules of thumb generally apply to most projects.

PHASING

Phasing is a very typical approach for many clients and I am happy to tailor my fees to fit most reasonable budgets and phasing goals. Planning for a phased approach depends on the logistics of landscape construction and coordination for the overall design to fit together seamlessly over time.
