Frequently Asked Questions

Does Yardscapes charge a consultation fee?

No, Yardscapes will have a designer call you to schedule an appointment to meet you on site.

Do you sell your landscape designs?

No, Yardscapes is a full-service design and build landscape company and we do not sell our designs.

If we have a design from another company, will Yardscapes bid it and install it?

Unfortunately, no. Due to liability reasons, Yardscapes would need to create its own design after reviewing your site.

How much does a design cost from Yardscapes?

It depends on the scope of your project. Design fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.

How long does the design process take?

If you have a current survey available, it generally takes a designer three weeks to complete site visits and prepare a landscape design. This does not take into consideration changes made, permits pulled, or if any engineering is needed.

How large of a project do you take on?

Yardscapes takes on all scopes and sizes of projects. Most projects will require a design to create a cost proposal.

How much does a typical landscaping project from Yardscapes cost?

How much will it cost to have a pool installed?

Pools have risen in cost over the years. Custom vinyl pools start at around $100,000 and concrete pools cost around $150,000.

Do you install or replace concrete?

No, with the temperature fluctuations in Minnesota we find that it cracks easily and isn’t a quick fix to repair. We prefer pavers or stone, which can be replaced much easier.

Are outdoor kitchens expensive to install?

The cost of an outdoor kitchen depends on the type of materials and installation. Outdoor kitchens start at around $10,000 for cabinets only. A large outdoor kitchen that would require footings to support the structure would cost $30,000 or more.

Pavers cost $25-$40 per square foot. This doesn’t include grading and preparing the area.
