How Much Does Landscape Design Cost in Dallas Texas?
What drives the price of landscape design in Dallas Texas, and how we quote every job with a clear, honest number.

I'm Lazaro M., owner of Chops landscaping & tree services LLC. The first question most Dallas homeowners ask me is simple: what does landscape design cost? I'll answer it the way I answer it on the phone — by explaining what actually drives the price, how we quote our work, and how you can keep your project on budget. I won't give you a made-up number, because every yard is different. What I will give you is a clear, honest price before any work starts, and that's a promise I keep on every job we take on across Dallas Texas.
What goes into the price of landscape design
Landscape design isn't a single flat fee. The cost depends on the size of your yard, the scope of what you want built, the materials you choose, and how much prep your property needs. A clean bed refresh with fresh mulch costs less than a full layout that includes patios, walkways, drainage work and new lawn areas. The more we build, the more the price reflects that work.
Soil condition matters too. Dallas clay holds water differently than sandy soil, and that changes what drainage and grading your design needs. A yard with a slope takes more grading work than a flat one. Before I quote anything, I come out, walk the property with you, and go over every detail of what you're asking for. That visit is where the real price takes shape, and it's why I never quote a job I haven't seen.
Access plays a part as well. If equipment can reach the work area easily, the job moves faster. If we're working in a tight backyard with limited access, that takes more time and more hand work. None of these are hidden fees — they're the things I point out on the visit so you understand the number before you approve it.
The services we price and how we quote them
We offer landscape design, tree trimming, stump grinding, landscape maintenance, hedge trimming, sod installation, mulching and tree removal. Every one of them starts the same way — with a free estimate. I look at the property, listen to what you want done, and give you a clear price before any work begins.
You won't get a vague range followed by a surprise bill. Once you approve the plan and the price, we schedule the work as quickly as our calendar allows, and we offer same-week service for most requests. The scope we agree on is the scope we deliver. If you want to add something during the job, we talk about it and adjust the price before we do the extra work — never after.
Because we handle both design and the services that keep it looking good, you don't have to coordinate a separate crew for every task. That keeps the project simpler and the pricing easier to follow.
Why I quote every job in person
I could throw out numbers over the phone, but that's how homeowners end up with surprises. When I see the yard, I can spot the things that change the price — a slope that needs grading, a tree that affects the layout, drainage that needs to move. Going over every detail before we start is how I keep the price honest.
It's also why my customers tell me they appreciate the attention to detail I bring to each property. You'll know the scope and the price before we ever break ground, so nothing comes as a surprise. And because we're licensed, insured and bonded, you're not paying for risk — you're paying for work that's done right and covered properly.
What stays the same on every project
A few things don't change, no matter the size of the job. Estimates are always free. Your first service is 10% off, and we offer a referral discount when you send us another customer. We're licensed, insured and bonded, and that's simply how we operate — it's not an extra fee we tack on. We've been doing this for 4 years, and we're available 24/7.
We also clean up and haul away the debris on every job. That's part of the work, not an add-on. When we finish, your property looks cared for, not like a job site.
Ways to save on your landscape project
Use your first-service discount
Your first service is 10% off, and it applies to the work we quote. If you've been putting off a project, that discount is a good reason to start now.
Bundle services together
If you need landscape design along with mulching, sod installation, or hedge trimming, we can schedule them in one visit. One trip, one cleanup, and less of your time.
Send us a neighbor
Our referral discount rewards you when another customer books with us. If a friend on your block needs work, that helps both of you.
Maintain what you build
A design that gets regular maintenance lasts longer and costs less over time than one that gets ignored and needs to be redone. We set a maintenance schedule that fits your yard so the work you paid for keeps looking good.
