Predictable Costs: Building Confidence with Set Pricing

The certainty of set pricing is one of the greatest benefits of working with a professional hardscape company. Structures like standard Pergolas and Gazebos have defined costs based on size. Similarly, the installation of a new irrigation system, low-voltage lighting, and standard-sized plants offer predictable pricing, allowing us to lock in a significant portion of your project cost early on.

Maximizing Value with Our Fixed-Quantity Packages

To give our clients maximum budget control, Innovo Designs created clear package options with set quantities for different-sized yards. These packages guarantee specific amounts of materials like gravel, turf, and pavers are sold at consistent rates per square foot, virtually eliminating price uncertainty for the foundational elements of your project. This approach simplifies the planning process so you know exactly the amounts your budget secures.

Variable Costs: Items That Impact the Final Price

While core materials are predictable, several key items can fluctuate and often determine the final project price. Site Preparation, including the Demolition and removal of existing patios or grass, is highly dependent on what needs to go. Other variables include grading for proper drainage, the length of new gas or electrical runs, and the complexity of accessing the site, which can require a contingency in your budget due to their unique nature.

What is Not Included in the Base Material Packages

It is important to note that our fixed-quantity packages typically cover foundational materials, but not every custom feature. While items such as custom fire pits, intricate misting systems, or unique seating walls are considered additional features, we want to assure you that all prices will be clearly defined and included in your comprehensive quote during the consultation process. We can add any item that helps bring your dream backyard to life! Furthermore, any costs associated with securing Permits or HOA Modifications will also be transparently discussed as some necessary exclusions during the initial consultation.

Creating a beautiful and functional outdoor space is a carefully managed investment. By choosing Innovo Designs, your expert outdoor design partner in North Phoenix, you gain the benefit of our transparent approach, clearly defining what costs are fixed and which ones require flexibility.
