Rain Garden Cost Estimating

 

Rain garden costs will vary depending on the site preparation that is undertaken and the size of plants selected. If the rain garden is excavated and new growing media installed, it will entail one set of costs. If the rain garden is not excavated and is just amended, costs will be much lower, although the volume of water the garden can handle will be impacted.

Determine your quantities for your rain garden and contact local sources for pricing before you start the project.

Items to be cost estimated:

     Plants, soil amendments, tools, labor, debris removal
