This is dependent on your particular builder's preferences. We have worked in these conditions before, but it must be arranged in writing with them before we begin any construction portion of the project. Design can always take place during the building of your home though.
A well-landscaped home has a significant price advantage over a home with little to no landscaping. This advantage ranges from 5.5 percent to 12.7 percent depending on the type of landscaping and the home's original value. That translates into an extra $16,500 to $38,100 in value on a $300,000 home. There's more to landscaping than sticking some flowers and a couple shrubs in the ground, however. The number-one thing that buyers are looking for in landscaping is a manicured design. Close behind is plant size and maturity. A lesser factor, but one still worth considering, is the diversity of plant life within the landscaping design.
The biggest landscaping mistake that homeowners make is not having a coherent plan. They decide to put a tree in, and then a few years later add some flower beds, then maybe put in some shrubs and another tree. A landscape that's assembled piecemeal looks disorganized, and that turns buyers off. Hire a landscape designer to formulate a master plan before you do any landscaping. And then stick to the plan!
