What is the average price for landscape design?
The average price for professional landscape design typically falls between $2,000 and $8,000, but that range can move higher or lower depending on the scope, property size, and level of customization. For high-end homes and long-term outdoor investments, landscape design is not an expense—it’s a multiplier on property value, usability, and curb appeal.
At the lower end, basic concept plans (layout, plant suggestions, and rough hardscape ideas) may start around $1,500–$2,500. These are ideal for homeowners who want direction but plan to manage installation themselves.
More commonly, homeowners invest in full-service landscape design, ranging from $3,500–$6,500, which includes detailed layouts, material specifications, grading considerations, lighting concepts, drainage planning, and plant selections tailored to your property, sun exposure, and lifestyle.
For luxury landscapes—think patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, retaining walls, custom stonework, and phased master plans—design fees can reach $7,500–$15,000+. These projects require deeper planning, engineering coordination, and precision to avoid costly mistakes during construction.
Here’s the key thing most homeowners don’t realize: great design saves money. A professionally designed landscape prevents overbuilding, reduces change orders, and ensures every dollar spent during installation is intentional and cohesive. Poor design—or no design—almost always leads to rework, wasted materials, and regret.
When you work with a professional landscape design team, you’re not just paying for drawings. You’re investing in:
- A clear vision for your entire property
- Smart material and plant choices that last
- A plan that increases home value and enjoyment
- A roadmap that avoids expensive errors
- If you’re serious about creating a beautiful, functional outdoor space, the first step isn’t construction—it’s design.

History
In 1660, five men from Dedham were sent to explore the lakes near George Indian’s wigwam and to report back to the selectmen what they found. The report of those men, Daniel Fisher, Anthony Fisher, Sgt. Fuller, Richard Ellis, and Richard Wheeler, was received with such enthusiasm that in March 1661 it was voted to start a new settlement there. The Town then voted to send Ellis and Timothy Dwight to go negotiate with King Phillip to purchase the title to the area known as Wollomonopoag.
They purchased 600 acres of land for £24, 6s. The money was paid out of pocket by Captain Willett, who accompanied Ellis and Dwight. The Town voted to assess a tax upon the cow commons to repay him, but some thought the money should be paid by those who would be moving to the new village. The dispute resulted in Willet not being paid back for several years.
After the boundaries of the new community were set, the Town voted to give up all rights to the land in return for the proprietors paying Dedham £160 over four years, beginning in 1661. By January 1663, however, little progress had been made towards establishing a new village. A meeting was called, and the 10 men who volunteered to go raised several concerns about their ability to move forward.
After much discussion, it was decided not to give the 600 acres to the group of pre-selected men, but rather to lay out lots and then award them by lottery. Those who already began to improve their lots were allowed to keep them, and land for a church, burial ground, training ground, roads, and officer lots were not included. All were free to buy and sell their lots.
Not much happened at Wollomonopoag until 1668, at which time a report arrived of native peoples planting corn and cutting down trees on the land that Dedham had purchased. Eleazer Lusher was charged with sending the illiterate Indians a letter warning them to “depart from that place and trespass no further.” Samuel Fisher then took it to them and read it aloud, at which point they replied that they had every intention of remaining on the land. Though they had still not paid him back for the land in question, the Town then asked Willett to speak with King Phillip and ask that he intervene.
There is no record of Phillip’s response to that entreaty but, in August 1669, the Town Fathers received an odd letter from him offering to negotiate for more land if they would quickly send him a “holland shirt.” Dwight and four others were appointed to negotiate with him again, provided Phillip could prove he, and not another sachem, had the rights to the land. In November, an agreement was reached to clear the title for £17 0s 8d. There is no record of whether a shirt was traded.
Samuel Sheares lived alone at Wollomonopoag for some time before a new attempt at a settlement was undertaken in 1671. Five men, John Thurston, Thomas Thurston, Robert Weare, John Weare, and Joseph Cheeney moved there with him, followed the next year by Rev. Samuel Man, a one-time teacher in the Dedham Public Schools. Robert Crossman was employed at the same time to construct a corn mill.
Those who moved there were drawn from the middle class of Dedham. They were primarily people from outside of Dedham who had purchased land there, and second generation Dedhamites who moved without their parents. Without the outsides, it is questionable whether the new community would have survived.
Soon, however, the Wollomonopoag settlers complained that those in the village center were keeping them in a state of colonial dependency. They were upset about absentee landlords whose land values were going up thanks to the labor of the inhabitants and who refused to pay taxes to support the community. They also complained that with the seat of the town government being so far away that they were disenfranchised and best by a lack of capital. Constables refused to travel to Wollomonopoag to make collections, assessments, and social judgement.
With the blessing of Dedham’s Board of Selectmen, the General Court separated the new town of Wrentham on October 16, 1673.
It was burned down during King Philip’s War 1675–1676. In the nineteenth century, Wrentham was the site of Day’s Academy. For a short time, Wrentham was the residence of the educational reformer Horace Mann. It is also known as one of the residences of Helen Keller.
North Wrentham separated as an independent town in 1870 with Plainville splitting off as an independent town in 1905.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 22.9 square miles (59 km), of which 22.2 square miles (57 km) is land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km) (3.14%) is water. Wrentham is bordered by Norfolk on the north, Foxboro on the east, Plainville and Cumberland, Rhode Island on the south, Bellingham on the southwest, and Franklin on the west. It has two large lakes towards the center of town, Lake Pearl and Lake Archer, as well as Mirror Lake on the Wrentham/Norfolk border and numerous smaller lakes. Sheldonville, or West Wrentham, is a rural section of Wrentham located on the western leg of town. Sheldonville still maintains a unique identity as the old farming section of Wrentham, has active commercial orchards, and has its own ZIP Code (02070). Wrentham drains into four watersheds. They are the Charles River to the north, the Taunton River to the east, the Blackstone River to the west, and the Ten Mile River to the south.
Wrentham is the only town of that name in the United States. It is named after the village of Wrentham, Suffolk, England. The only other Wrentham is Wrentham, Alberta. Wrentham, Massachusetts, is by far the most populous of the three.

What does a landscape designer do?
A landscape designer is the professional who turns your outdoor ideas into a clear, functional, and beautiful plan—before any money is wasted on the wrong materials or layout. Their job is to design an outdoor space that looks great, works for your lifestyle, and adds long-term value to your property.
First, a landscape designer evaluates your property as a whole. This includes grading, drainage, sun exposure, soil conditions, existing plants, and how you currently use the space. They also factor in your goals—whether that’s entertaining, privacy, low maintenance, family-friendly areas, or luxury features like patios, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens.
Next, they create a custom design plan. This typically includes the layout of walkways, patios, lawns, planting beds, and structures, along with recommendations for materials, plants, and finishes that fit your home’s architecture and local climate. A good designer doesn’t just make things look nice—they design for longevity, proper water flow, safety, and seasonal interest.
Landscape designers also help you avoid costly mistakes. They ensure proper spacing of plants, correct elevations for hardscapes, and smart placement of features so your landscape matures beautifully over time instead of becoming overcrowded or dysfunctional.
Most importantly, a landscape designer acts as your strategic guide. They help prioritize phases, control budgets, and create a plan that can be built all at once or over time without losing cohesion.
If you want an outdoor space that feels intentional—not pieced together—a professional landscape designer is the foundation. Schedule a design consultation and start with a plan that makes every dollar count.
This customization means your spring and fall clean-up cost is only as much as you dictate. You have complete control over the budget and expenses so that you can get the most out of every dollar you invest in maintenance.

Why Can’t I do my Own Landscape Design?
Our professionals have decades of experience in the industry. Whether cutting a crisp edge to a lawn or monitoring soil pH, our crew has the necessary hands-on knowledge to accomplish any task properly. While the average homeowner can do many of these clean-up jobs, they will inevitably take more time and effort.
Consider this. Let’s say you want to install a retaining wall along two garden beds at the front of your house. One option is to research supplies, create blueprints, develop alternatives, negotiate supply prices, transport materials, and install the retaining walls. Each of these tasks adds up to several days’ worth of effort.
Conversely, you can hire us—your local hardscaping expert—and use the time you’ll save reading a book, playing with your children, traveling, or whatever else you’d like. Meanwhile, our hardscaping team will install a durable and beautiful retaining wall. While cost is always a worthwhile consideration, beyond the time and effort you’ll save, the guaranteed quality is indisputable. We stand behind our work.

What are common landscaping mistakes?
One of the most common landscaping mistakes homeowners make is skipping the design phase. Jumping straight into construction without a plan often leads to wasted money, awkward layouts, and features that don’t work well together. A landscape should be intentional, not built one impulse decision at a time.
Another frequent mistake is poor drainage planning. Ignoring water flow can cause pooling, erosion, flooded patios, and even foundation issues. Drainage must be addressed before installing lawns, patios, or planting beds—not after problems appear.
Improper plant selection and spacing is also a major issue. Homeowners often choose plants based on how they look at the garden center, not how large they’ll grow or whether they’re suited to the site’s sun and soil conditions. This results in overcrowding, excessive maintenance, and plant failure within a few years.
Many people also underestimate the importance of scale and proportion. Patios that are too small, walkways that feel cramped, or features that overpower the home can make an outdoor space feel unbalanced and uncomfortable.
Finally, budget misallocation is a costly mistake. Spending heavily on visible features while neglecting foundational elements like grading, base materials, or lighting leads to short-term results and long-term problems.
The best way to avoid these mistakes is to work with a professional landscape designer. A proper plan ensures smart decisions, efficient spending, and a landscape that improves with time. Start with a design consultation and build it right the first time.
