Our packages don't cover the costs of installation. Packages include project planning, moodboards, 3D renders, construction files (CAD), plant and materials lists, shopping lists, and DIY guides.

With that said, you can work with LessLawn to manage your installation process (or you can take our construction ready plans to your own selected contractor). Our installation management includes the below services:

Pre-Construction Planning:
Our team collaborates with several contractors (concrete, turf, etc.). to direct & manage timeline, budget, and materials.As potential challenges or obstacles arise, we collaborate on solutions to address them.

Regular Communication:
Maintaining open and regular communication throughout the project is essential for smooth collaboration. Landscape designers and contractors may use various communication tools such as phone calls, email, project management software, and in-person meetings to share updates, discuss changes, and address any issues that may arise.

Virtual Site Visits & Check-In's:
We want to ensure that the work adheres to the design plan, and provide guidance to the contractor/installer if necessary. This helps us identify potential problems and discuss solutions with the contractor(s).

Design Revisions:
If the project requires any design changes or adjustments, our team communicates these changes to the contractor/installer and work together to implement them. This may involve modifying the construction plan or adjusting the budget and timeline.

Quality Control:
Landscape designers work with contractors to ensure that the quality of the work meets the design specifications and client expectations. This may involve reviewing the materials used and addressing any concerns that arise during the project.

Coordination with Other Professionals:
These projects often involve other professionals such as hardscape installers, nurseries, and irrigation specialists. We coordinate with these folks to ensure that their work aligns with the overall design vision and project goals.

In short, our packages save you time and money in the long run. Installations with detailed plans are cheaper, bridge communication gaps, and result in better yard. Project without designs tend to run overbudget and fail to meet client expectations.

Visualizing the Design:
3D design files and landscaping plans help clients, designers, and contractors to visualize the proposed design, making it easier to understand the overall layout, aesthetics, and functionality. This enables stakeholders to make informed decisions and ensures everyone is on the same page regarding the project's goals and expectations.

Accurate Estimates:
Detailed plans allow landscape designers and contractors to provide accurate cost estimates and timelines for the project. This helps clients understand the financial implications of the project and set realistic budgets and expectations.

Identifying Potential Issues:
3D design files and landscaping plans help identify potential problems or challenges before the installation begins. This allows for the development of solutions in advance, saving time, effort, and money during the installation process.

Coordination with Other Professionals:
Landscape projects often involve collaboration with other professionals such as architects, engineers, and irrigation specialists. Having a comprehensive design plan facilitates coordination among these professionals, ensuring that their work aligns with the overall project goals.

Efficient Resource Allocation:
 Detailed plans help contractors determine the appropriate resources, including labor, materials, and equipment, required for the project. This ensures efficient use of resources and helps avoid delays and cost overruns.

Permitting and Approval:
In many jurisdictions, obtaining permits and approvals for landscaping projects requires submitting detailed plans to local authorities. Having these plans in place can expedite the approval process and help avoid potential legal issues.Clear

Communication:
3D design files and landscaping plans provide a common reference point for all parties involved in the project. This helps facilitate clear communication and ensures that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities.Quality Control: Detailed plans provide a benchmark against which the actual installation can be measured. This allows for quality control throughout the project, ensuring that the installation adheres to the design specifications and meets the client's expectations.

 The time it takes can vary, depending on the size of the lawn, the types of plants and grasses, and the method of installation. But generally, it can take one to six months to complete the process.

During our onboarding process, you'll tell us your budget and we'll work to design a space that's beautiful and functional, and most importantly, achievable based on your total investment.  

With that said, cost of a LessLawn project can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. We customize each project to your specific yard and needs, which means there isn't a one-size-fits-all price.

The cost can be influenced by the size of your yard, the complexity of the design, the materials chosen for hardscaping, the type and quantity of plants desired, and the specifics of your irrigation requirements, among other things. For instance, a larger yard or a design with intricate hardscaping will typically cost more than a smaller or simpler project. Similarly, using premium materials or implementing an advanced irrigation system will add to the cost.

To get a clearer understanding of what your specific project might cost, we recommend contacting us for a personalized quote. Our team will work with you to understand your vision, needs, and budget and provide you with a detailed estimate. This approach ensures that you receive a personalized landscape that aligns with your budget and lifestyle, while still delivering on our promise of beautiful, low-maintenance yards.

Please remember that our goal is to provide value for your money by creating landscapes that are not only visually pleasing but also environmentally friendly and easy to maintain. We're dedicated to helping you enjoy your outdoor space with less lawn and more life.

There are a variety of government incentives available for homeowners who replace their water-intensive lawns with more drought-tolerant landscaping.

These incentives can take the form of rebates, grants, and tax credits.

In California, for example, many water districts offer rebates to residents who replace their lawns with drought-tolerant plants, mulch, and other water-saving landscaping materials. These rebates can cover a significant portion of the cost of the project.

In Colorado, the state government offers a "Cash for Grass" program, which provides financial incentives to homeowners who replace their lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping.

In Arizona, the Salt River Project offers a turf replacement program that provides rebates to customers who remove turf and install water-efficient landscaping.

In Nevada, the Southern Nevada Water Authority offers a turf replacement program which provides rebates to customers who remove turf and install water-efficient landscaping.

In Utah, the Salt Lake City Public Utilities offer a turf replacement program that provides rebates to customers who remove turf and install water-efficient landscaping.

It's important to note that these are examples and that availability of the incentives vary based on regions, municipalities, and even on the specific water company or district.
