What it costs

What landscape design costs in Western NC

These are typical Western North Carolina market ranges, not a Maidenhair Landscaping quote. North Carolina construction runs about 12% below the national average, but our mountain terrain — 15–40%+ slopes, weathered bedrock and saprolite, clay, and tight access — pushes most jobs toward the high end of every range. A flat infill lot sits low; a steep escarpment lot sits at or above the top. Your exact price comes from a free on-site estimate.

What drives it: design scope, plant size and quantity, bed prep and soil amendment on clay, lighting fixture count and transformer/wiring runs, and grade.

FAQ

Landscape Design: common questions

What does landscape design cost in Western North Carolina?

Typical published WNC ranges: landscape design / plan $1,500-$6,000; planting / bed install $5-$20 /sq ft; low-voltage lighting $150-$350. What moves the price: design scope, plant size and quantity, bed prep and soil amendment on clay, lighting fixture count and transformer/wiring runs, and grade. The exact number comes from a free on-site estimate, because slope, access and soil around Hendersonville move the price more than the material does.

Which towns do you cover for landscape design?

Maidenhair Landscaping covers 6 Western North Carolina counties from Hendersonville: Henderson, Buncombe, Transylvania, Haywood, Polk and Madison. See the service area page for every town we work.

How soon can you start landscape design?

We're a Hendersonville-based, owner-run crew, so most jobs get a same-week site walk and a callback within 24hr. Weather sets the schedule more than anything on mountain ground, especially for base and drainage work, so we give you a realistic window at the estimate instead of a date we can't hold.
