A budget sets the scope of the project and also gives the designer a good idea of how much they can do in terms of the design. It can be intimidating if you don’t know what things cost, but having an honest figure that the contractor has to adhere to means that there won’t be any complications further down the line.
A good designer will discuss the spending range with which you’re comfortable, and will also discuss what your priorities are as well as the quality of the materials you expect. The contractor will then use this information to give a budget estimate which will factor in aspects such as existing vegetation, design features, the quality of the materials to be used, the side and state of the terrain as well as the project size.
