Outdoor Cost & Schedule Guide

Know what your outdoor project could realistically cost—and how long it may take to build.

Planning a significant outdoor project involves more than choosing a pool, pavilion or planting plan. Our 2026 Cost & Schedule Guide gives you a clearer picture of real project costs across Boston, MetroWest and the South Shore, what moves those numbers, and how timing and site conditions affect the build.

What’s Inside

A better starting point for planning your property.

The guide breaks down real-world investment ranges and timelines for pools and spas, outdoor structures, terraces and walls, recreation and wellness spaces, planting and lighting, site work, permitting and more. It also shows how those individual pieces come together into complete projects—from landscapes without a pool to multi-season property master plans.
