Create an Outdoor Retreat

An outdoor retreat can be created regardless of yard size or income, but common denominators include hardscaping and landscaping to shape the space, just as walls, floors and ceilings do inside.

Arbors, pergolas, furnishings and container gardens lend a finished look to an undeveloped space until more permanent landscaping fills in.

When wondering how much to invest in landscaping, Dean Carpenter, president and CEO of Houston Landscapes Unlimited, says the typical price is 10 percent of the home’s cost.*

“For instance, $300,000 buys a nice home in Texas,” he says. “So $30,000 would be the amount to spend on nice landscaping to go with that home. Some spend $5,000 if they just want something basic, and some spend $60,000 to $90,000 if they want gardens maintained by landscaping professionals who change the flowers four times a year and keep everything picture perfect.”

* Pricing may vary in different areas of the country, it is recommended to get 3 comparable bids when investing in Landscape.

From Leonard H. Pricer

“For the last 18 years, my family and I have developed a unique artistry building pergolas, trellises, arbors, and fences from sturdy cedar. We feel strongly about increasing the value and enjoyment of your property, park area, or outdoor living space through native Texas landscaping and rustic, ‘wildscaping’ gardens. We truly love what we do, and it is our lifelong wish for you to appreciate and enjoy our designs for years to come.”
