Do I need a design before starting?

It depends on the complexity of your project. For smaller, straightforward projects, a full design may not be necessary. However, for more involved or multi-element spaces, a thoughtful design is essential to ensure everything works together, from layout and materials to drainage and long-term performance.

Design fees vary based on scope. In some cases, there may be little to no design fee, while more comprehensive designs typically begin around $300 and can range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more. We’ll discuss what level of design makes sense for your project early in the process so expectations are clear.
