Landscape Design Services & Pricing
EcoLogic Design LLC provides site-specific, buildable landscape design grounded in ecological intelligence and practical implementation. Designs respond to real site conditions, budgets, and long-term performance.
A site consultation is recommended for best results, but not required for all projects.
Landscape Design (Hourly)
$100/hr
Design services may include:
- Site layout and spatial organization
- Planting design using native and well-adapted species
- Drainage-aware planning and flow concepts
- Privacy, screening, and outdoor room design
- Integration with existing site features and infrastructure
Design work is scoped to specific tasks or deliverables and may proceed in phases.
Site Measurement & Inventory
Accurate base information improves design quality and reduces rework. Measurement is performed using the method best suited to the site.
$100/hr
Methods may include:
- GPS rover (site features and geometry where conditions allow)
- Conventional measurement (tape, angles, offsets for tight or obstructed sites)
- Drone mapping add-on for larger properties or complex geometry
Drone services are available as an add-on and priced separately.
Consultation (Optional but Recommended)
While not required, an onsite consultation often improves accuracy and efficiency—particularly for complex sites, drainage issues, or phased projects.
- Initial Site Consultation (1 hour): $150
Typical Design Investment
Actual pricing varies based on site complexity, goals, and available base information.
- Small Sites (under 1 acre): $300 – $1,000
Simple planting plans, yard layouts, or targeted improvements. - Medium Sites (1–5 acres): $1,000 – $5,000
Multiple zones, drainage considerations, or phased design work. - Large or Complex Sites (5+ acres): $5,000+
Pricing depends on scope, topography, access, and documentation requirements.
These ranges typically include a combination of site measurement, base mapping, and design development. Consultation and drone services may be included or added as appropriate.
Common Design Deliverables
Custom Landscape Design Plan
- Site-specific layout addressing plant placement, access, circulation, drainage intent, and functional elements
- Delivered digitally as a scaled PDF
- Printable plan sets available for prints larger than 11×17″
Planting & Materials Guidance
- Species-specific planting recommendations
- Materials and feature guidance aligned with site goals
- Planting guides and materials lists may be generated during regular design work when appropriate
Phased Implementation Guidance
- Clear sequencing to support staged installation or budget-driven build-out
All deliverables are intended for planning and construction reference purposes and are not stamped engineering or permitting documents.
Optional Add-Ons
- Printable Plan Set: +$75
(For printed plans larger than 11×17″) - Drone-Based Base Map: Available separately
3D modeling and perspective renderings are not offered.
Timeline
- Most design projects are completed within 1–3 weeks
- Larger or more complex properties may require additional time
- Phased design is common and encouraged where appropriate
What to Expect
- A collaborative, iterative design process
- Integration of ecological intelligence and permaculture principles
- Solutions that balance form, function, drainage, and long-term resilience
- Clear communication around scope, priorities, and next steps
Recommendations
- Site Preparation: Clearing debris or obstructions prior to measurement can reduce design time
- Drone Mapping: Useful for larger sites or where aerial context improves planning
- Follow-Up Support: Continued design guidance during installation and coordination with contractors is available
