What's a reasonable price range for hiring a landscape architect in bay area california

Question

price for drafting up the drawings.

Answer 1

upwards of $25,000.  depending on the size of your property, you can do most of the work yourself.  visit the local library, take a walk in your neighborhood, and go to the nursery.  

Answer 2

Hi, well do what I did, call several of them for estimates and go over your needs, they will work up a quote for you and with that most of them draw up rough plans for you to review. GOOD LUCK!!!

Then there are those who charge 250.00 per hour to talk to you! That's harsh!!! GOOD LUCK In the mean time, to make your back yard really POP, this is what I bought, it looks soooo nice and so many choices.  Can take high winds, which is a plus where I live. GOOD LUCK!!   http://www.shadetreecanopies.com/
