There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the amount you'll need to budget for landscaping will vary depending on the size and scope of the project. That said, here are a few ballpark figures to give you an idea of what you might expect to spend: -Basic landscaping (a few plants, mulch, and a small fence or retaining wall): $500-$1,000 -Medium landscaping (a patio or deck, some paving stones or a path, a water feature): $2,000-$5,000 -Large landscaping (a full garden redesign with trees, shrubs, and lawn): $5,000-$10,000

It depends on the size and complexity of the project. Generally, you should expect to pay at least $50/hour for a professional landscaper. If you are doing a relatively small project (e.g., planting a few shrubs), it may only take a few hours, and the cost would be relatively low. For larger or more complex projects, the cost could easily run into the thousands of dollars.
