Frequently asked questions

How do I estimate a full yard renovation cost?

Price each scope assembly separately — demolition, grading, irrigation, hardscape, planting, lawn and lighting — then recover overhead and add margin. This tool runs that full sequence.

How much does a landscape renovation cost?

A full 1/4-acre residential renovation commonly lands between $25,000 and $80,000 depending on hardscape scope, with hardscape driving most of the budget.

What contingency should I carry on a landscape renovation?

Carry 10% contingency on renovations — buried debris, irrigation repair and unsuitable soil are the most common cost surprises.

How is overhead recovered in a renovation bid?

Apply your overhead percentage (annual overhead ÷ annual revenue, typically 15–25%) to direct cost, then divide by (1 − margin) to price for true net profit.
