What is a realistic landscape budget for a La Quinta home?

 A realistic budget starts around $5,000 for basic builds and climbs past $40,000 for premium projects. We break it down like shopping for a car: Toyota, BMW or Mercedes packages. Pick the level that fits your yard.
Basic covers plants, rock and standard irrigation. Mid-range adds pavers, low-voltage lighting and artificial turf. Premium includes custom hardscape, water features, outdoor living spaces and fire pits.
