What to expect from first call to finished project
Our process is designed to help homeowners understand scope, budget, design decisions, construction timing, and the handoff into ongoing landscape care.
1. Initial call and prequalification
Our office starts with a conversation about your property, goals, location, timing, and budget expectations. This helps determine whether the project is a fit and gives you a realistic starting point before design work begins.
2. Design consultation
You meet with a designer or landscape architect at the property to discuss the site, how you want to use the space, and the level of transformation you are considering. Once a Design Proposal is accepted, the Design Process will begin.
3. Design process
The client will be invited to our Design Center to review the design, see product samples, and determine if any revisions are needed. The next step will be to present any revisions and/or follow-up information for final approval.
4. Construction proposal and contract
Once the design is finalized, we provide proposals to build the project. The contract includes scope, expectations, and a payment schedule so you know how the project will be billed.
5. Sales-to-production handoff
The construction team receives the project details, a project manager and crew are assigned, and the work moves from design planning into production scheduling.
6. Construction and client updates
Construction begins with regular updates from the team. Timelines vary by scope; pools often average two to three months, and structures, drainage, landscaping, and other services can add time.
7. Closeout and walkthrough
At the end of construction, we walk the project with you, review the finished work, and address final details.
8. Maintenance handoff
Most landscape construction clients move into a maintenance plan after completion, so the property can be cared for by people who understand how it was designed and built.
What should you expect to spend?
For a full outdoor package combining multiple services, a week-long project commonly ranges from $25,000 to $35,000.
Typical EdenScapes landscape construction projects range from $50,000 to $500,000, depending on design scope, site conditions, materials, pool or structure work, drainage needs, and the number of outdoor living features included.
What shapes your construction budget?
The cost of an outdoor living project depends on what is being built, the materials selected, and the work needed to prepare the property. Patios and planting have different requirements from pools, kitchens, fireplaces, and covered structures. Grading, drainage, utilities, and access to the work area can also affect the scope.
Share your target investment and your must-have features early. Separating priorities from optional additions gives us a useful starting point for discussing scope and material choices. The ranges shown here are planning guides; your construction proposal defines the work included and its price.
Payment schedules are outlined in the proposal and typically include a deposit, progress payments during construction, and a final payment. Ask our team about current financing options and eligibility.

Why choose EdenScapes for landscape construction?

Experienced leadership
Our leadership and management team brings a combined 100 years of design, sales, and project-management experience.
Design Excellence process
A repeatable, documented design process helps create consistent quality instead of one-off, ad-hoc solutions.
Construction and maintenance under one roof
The same company that designs and builds your landscape can help maintain it, so care decisions are made by people who understand the original plan.
A culture of ownership
Quality Craftsmanship, Client Stewardship, and Radical Kindness shape how our team communicates, manages work, and takes responsibility for the client experience.
Landscape construction questions
How much does a backyard transformation cost?
It depends on the scope, site, and materials. Most clients start with a design consultation so we can provide real budget numbers instead of a guess before they invest in the full design process.
How long does a landscape construction project take?
Timelines vary because service selections can range from planting and hardscape work to pools, structures, drainage, and lighting. Swimming pools are usually an average of two to three months, and added structures or landscape systems extend the timeline. Part of the design process is building a project timeline so clients know what to expect.
Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes. Our landscape architect designs projects, and our construction crews build most of what we install. Some specialized services are completed by trade partners, but those services are managed by our designers and project managers so nothing gets lost between design and construction.
Do I need a full design plan?
Smaller jobs can sometimes be handled with renderings or marked-up photos. Significant work usually requires a design because the plan creates credibility, accountability, and a shared reference for what should happen in the field.
Will you maintain what you build?
Yes. Most of our landscape construction clients move into one of our maintenance plans once the project is finished.
Do you build pools?
Yes. Pool digging and construction may be handled by trade partners, but the pool area is designed and managed by our team so the client has one point of contact.
What areas do you serve?
EdenScapes serves the Acadiana region in and around Lafayette, Louisiana.
Can you work with an existing landscape?
Yes. We work with existing landscapes when the project is changing a few things. When a homeowner wants to do substantial piecemeal work, it often makes more sense to rework the entire area through a cohesive design.
How do payments work?
Construction proposals include a payment schedule so clients know what to expect. There is usually a deposit, a progress payment once work starts, sometimes additional progress payments during the project, and a final payment. Financing may also be available through a financing partner.
What makes EdenScapes different from other landscapers?
EdenScapes combines landscape architecture, a documented design process, experienced project management, construction and maintenance services under one company, and a culture built around Quality Craftsmanship, Client Stewardship, and Radical Kindness.
