NEW CONSTRUCTION · BEND, OREGON · 2024
Moving into a new construction home in Bend often means starting with a blank slate — bare dirt, no irrigation, and no landscaping. Getting your landscape established quickly protects your investment, improves curb appeal, and makes your new home feel like home. Here's what you need to know about new construction landscaping in Central Oregon.
A complete landscape installation for a new construction home in Bend typically costs $20,000–$60,000 depending on lot size, design complexity, and features. This includes design, irrigation, hardscape, planting, and lawn.
Many new construction budgets underestimate landscaping costs. We recommend setting aside 10–15% of your home's value for landscaping — it's one of the best investments you can make in your property.
| Scope | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Front yard only | $8,000–$20,000 | Curb appeal focus |
| Back yard only | $12,000–$35,000 | Patio, lawn, planting |
| Full property | $20,000–$60,000+ | Complete landscape |
| Irrigation only | $3,000–$8,000 | Front and back yard |
The best time to start landscaping a new construction home in Bend is spring (May–June) or fall (August–September). These windows offer moderate temperatures for installation and plant establishment.
Don't wait too long — bare dirt in Bend's climate erodes quickly, and establishing a lawn or groundcover before winter protects your soil and reduces erosion.
PRO TIP
Start with irrigation first. It's much easier to install irrigation before plants and hardscape are in place. A properly designed irrigation system is the foundation of a healthy landscape.
We work regularly with Bend's home builders and general contractors on new construction landscaping. We can coordinate with your builder on grading, utility locations, and project timing to ensure a smooth installation.
We also work with homeowners directly on builder-grade lots where the builder's landscaping package doesn't meet the homeowner's expectations.
