- Phase the project: hardscape and grading first, plantings the following season.
- Use smaller plants — a 1-gallon shrub becomes a 5-gallon shrub in two years at a quarter of the price.
- Seed instead of sod where you can wait; the savings are dramatic.
- Do your own demo, mulching and cleanup and pay for skilled work only.
- Choose native plants to cut irrigation and replacement costs long term.
