Planning ranges are a starting point. Replace them with written local quotes as your research improves.
Your plan is empty.
Add a project above, or start with a balanced sample plan to see how the workspace works.

Build sequence
Do the invisible work first.
Avoid paying twice for trenching, delivery access, drainage, or disturbed hardscape.
Conceptual zone plan
See how your selected projects relate.
This is a planning prompt—not a measured site plan. Use it to spot adjacencies, conflicts, shared utilities, and missing circulation before a professional lays out the property.

Keep a route for delivery, maintenance, drainage, emergency access, and future replacement.
Rules & survey
Confirm setbacks, easements, HOA rules, permits, and utility locations before committing to a layout.
Site & utilities
Plan drainage, foundations, electrical capacity, gas, water, and equipment access as one coordinated layer.
Primary structures
Install rooms, pergolas, large sauna shells, kitchens, and other items that require heavy access.
Surfaces & details
Finish patios, paths, planting, lighting, furniture, and the smaller features that tie the yard together.

Whole-plan assumptions
Protect the budget from surprises.
Estimate methodology
Useful ranges, visible limitations.
Current published inputs
We use current manufacturer prices where public, plus recent cost guides for site work and installed categories. The source and checked date appear inside every selected project.
Complete-project mindset
Default ranges include common supporting work when the source permits. Each card names likely exclusions so a low product price is not mistaken for an installed project.
Editable by design
Location, access, material, labor, permitting, utilities, and finish quality can move costs substantially. Every low and high number can be replaced with your own quote.
