2026 cost guide
Budget ranges by scope, from a paver patio to a full resort yard.
Most Los Angeles backyard remodels land between $30,000 and $80,000 for hardscape and landscape scopes. Adding structures pushes projects to roughly $80,000–$150,000, and adding a new pool typically takes the total past $150,000.
Hardscape only
roughly $18,000–$45,000
Hardscape + landscape
roughly $30,000–$80,000
Adding structures
roughly $80,000–$150,000
With a new pool
$150,000 and up
Typical schedule
3–6 weeks, longer with a pool
The single biggest budget decision is whether the project includes structures and a pool, not the square footage.
Design the whole yard once, then build in phases — never build hardscape before you know where the pool and utilities go.
The most expensive mistake we see is beautiful hardscape demolished eighteen months later to trench for a pool, gas line or electrical run.
A single master plan lets you build in stages while every underground run is placed correctly the first time.
