Landscaping Cost Calculator
A landscaping cost calculator estimates the price of a landscaping project by multiplying the area by your price per square foot, or by summing the materials (sod, mulch, gravel, soil) each priced separately. Enter your area and price per square foot below for a quick estimate, or use the material calculators for a detailed breakdown.

How Much Does Landscaping Cost?
Landscaping cost is the project area times your price per square foot, or the sum of individual materials. A simple project (mulch beds, gravel paths) is far cheaper per square foot than a full design with sod, plants, hardscaping and irrigation. Because the scope varies so much, the calculator uses your price per square foot for a quick estimate, and you can size each material precisely with the mulch, gravel, topsoil and sod calculators.
What Goes Into a Landscaping Budget?
A landscaping budget includes materials (soil, mulch, gravel, sod, plants, stone), hardscaping (patios, walls, paths), labor, and sometimes irrigation and lighting. Materials are the part you can size precisely with calculators; labor and design vary by contractor. For a detailed estimate, total each material from its own calculator, then add labor. The cost calculator gives a quick per-square-foot figure to start the budget.
