Plan Your
Landscape Investment
Understand what’s possible at every budget and explore real projects built by DPR Landscapes.
Every project is different, but that doesn’t mean pricing should be a mystery.
We’ve completed hundreds of landscape projects across Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, and the Durham Region. This guide provides realistic investment ranges, examples of completed projects, and the factors that influence pricing, helping you plan your project with confidence.
Why Landscaping
Prices Vary
Before we talk numbers, it’s important to understand that no two properties are the same.
The final investment depends on factors like:
- Property size
- Existing grading
- Access to the backyard
- Drainage requirements
- Engineering
- Material selection
- Features like kitchens, fire features, pergolas and pools
Our goal isn’t to be the cheapest contractor. It’s to build landscapes that last for decades.
