Landscaping Cost in Winnipeg

Starting to plan for your landscaping project? Great, you came to the right place!

We are going to help you through every step of the process, answer any questions that you may have!

Landscaping, like any home improvement project, can have a wide range of costs associated with the project depending on what is included in the scope of work. Most of our clients' residential landscaping projects in Winnipeg usually range in price from $20,000 to $100,000 or more. If your budget does not allow for you to complete the project at one time, we do offer project phasing and our team of landscaping experts will work with you and your budget.

​

Projects that involve substantial amounts of hardscaping, which includes the use of pavers, slabs, brick edging, retaining walls, etc. will typically cost more to have installed than softscaping projects which focus more on the horticultural elements of landscape design such as sod, plants, and garden beds.​

Sod typically costs $3-5 per square foot to have installed but additional factors can increase the cost per square foot such as the amount of grading required, machine accessibility, if excavation is required, and additional manual labor. To get the most accurate estimate for your sod installation, we would highly recommend getting in touch with one of our landscaping consultants who will come out to view your property and provide you with an accurate landscaping estimate for your landscaping project.

As a Winnipeg resident, you know that we live in a freeze-thaw climate due to the wide fluctuation of temperature experienced throughout the year. This is particularly important when it comes to designing and building landscape construction projects as the projects must be built to industry standards so that they can last multiple seasons. This includes taking into account the proper excavation depths, the thickness of the base material, types of base material used for the application, type of compaction required, whether the project will require a drainage system, and the amount of force that will be placed upon the surface of the hardscaping projects.

​

Every project is unique and, as such, a one-size-fits-all answer cannot necessarily be applied. We will provide some pricing below for hardscaping features however we recommend scheduling a landscape consultation to get the most accurate pricing for your particular project.

The typical cost to have a paver or slab patio starts at $40 per square foot if machines and equipment have easy access to the location of the desired patio. If there is limited or no machine access to the desired patio location the costs may run anywhere from $50-60+ per square foot as more manual labor will need to take place to complete the project.  Please note: Depending on project size, pricing per square foot may be reduced.

Retaining walls will significantly vary in price due to the wide variety of options available. To get the most accurate pricing, we would suggest booking a landscape consultation. 

Some factors that will impact the pricing for retaining wall installations include:

• Machine accessibility
• Projects location (out of the city projects will have additional fees
• Height of the retaining wall 
• Engineering requirements
• Free standing retaining wall or retaining wall built for structural purposes
• The amount of excavation required

At Xtraordinaire Landscapes, our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional landscape designs is complemented by our dedication to providing transparent and fair pricing. The cost of our landscape design services is influenced by various factors, each meticulously weighed to ensure the creation of a tailored solution that aligns seamlessly with your vision and project requirements.

​

1. Property Size: The size of your property plays a pivotal role in determining the intricacies of the landscape design. Larger properties, while offering expansive canvases for creativity, necessitate more extensive planning and design elements. From expansive lawns to meandering pathways, our team meticulously tailors the design to maximize your property's potential, ensuring every inch is utilized harmoniously.

​

2. Project Complexity: The complexity of your project impacts both the artistic and logistical aspects of the landscape design. Projects involving intricate features like water elements, hardscaping, or specialized plantings demand a higher level of expertise and attention to detail, resulting in additional time in the design phase. Our team embraces the challenge of complex projects, crafting designs that seamlessly integrate diverse elements to create a cohesive and visually stunning landscape.

​

3. Architectural Design of the Home: The architectural design of your home is a pivotal consideration in landscape planning. The more intricate the architectural design, the more time our team invests in constructing the design using our software. Whether your home boasts modern lines, traditional charm, or a blend of styles, our designers collaborate to ensure the landscape complements and enhances the unique character of your residence.

​

4. Elevational Changes Throughout the Property: Elevational changes introduce an additional layer of complexity and opportunity to a landscape design. Managing slopes, creating terraced gardens, or incorporating elevated features requires strategic planning to ensure both aesthetic appeal and functional use of space. Designing for properties with various elevations takes more time, as we strive to provide a realistic visual representation of the finished landscaping project. Our team excels at leveraging elevational changes as design assets, transforming potential challenges into captivating elements that enhance the overall beauty and functionality of your property.

​

At Xtraordinaire Landscapes, we recognize that each factor contributes to the holistic design of your landscape. Our dedication to providing exceptional designs is reflected in our meticulous consideration of these elements, resulting in a customized solution that not only aligns with your vision but also enhances the inherent qualities of your property.
