The timeline depends on the scope of your project, but most residential landscaping jobs range from a few days to several weeks. Larger design-build projects involving hardscaping, irrigation, and planting can take four to eight weeks from start to finish.
Spring and early fall are ideal for most landscaping work in the Pacific Northwest. Spring allows plants to establish before summer heat, while fall gives roots time to develop before winter. That said, planning should begin months in advance to secure your spot on a contractor's schedule.
Professional landscaping costs vary widely based on the size of your yard, materials chosen, and complexity of the design. Basic lawn and planting projects may start in the low thousands, while full design-build backyard transformations can range from $20,000 to $100,000 or more.
Some landscaping projects require permits, particularly those involving retaining walls, grading, drainage changes, or large structures like pergolas and outdoor kitchens. A professional contractor like Angkorscape handles the permitting process as part of the project.
Look for a company with a strong portfolio of completed projects, verifiable reviews, clear communication, and a transparent design process. An all-in-one design-build firm is ideal because it keeps design and construction aligned under one team.
Regular maintenance includes mowing, pruning, fertilizing, and seasonal clean-ups. Your contractor should provide a maintenance plan tailored to the specific plants and materials used in your project to keep everything looking its best year-round.
