Is DIY landscaping really cheaper?
You’ll save 40-60% on initial costs by doing your own landscaping, but these savings aren’t always what they seem. While professional services might charge $3,000-$5,000 for a medium garden renovation, your DIY version at $1,500-$2,500 doesn’t account for equipment purchases, maintenance costs, and potential do-overs. Landscaping rocks typically cost $50–$125 per ton or $45–$130 per cubic yard, depending on the rock type, size, and shipping options.
