Why do you quote on a design instead of a flat per-square-metre rate?

Because two gardens of the same size can cost very differently. One might be mostly lawn and planting; another the same size might have paving, a retaining wall, a water feature, and a full irrigation system. The hardscape, planting, irrigation, and access — not just the area — drive the cost, so a flat per-square-metre figure would be dishonest. We design your garden first, then itemise every element in the quote, so the number you see is real and matched to what you are actually getting.

Is there any published landscaping rate in Ghana at all?

Almost none — landscaping in Ghana is overwhelmingly quoted on a site survey, and most firms publish no rate of any kind. The only genuinely-published figures we have seen are single-source and indicative: new lawn / turfing at roughly GH₵15 per square metre installed, and a residential maintenance ladder of about GH₵300, GH₵600, and GH₵1,200 per month for upkeep. We present those honestly as indicative single-source figures, never as a fixed market rate, and the full design-build is always priced on your design.

How is a landscaping quote built?

It is built from your design, not guessed. We survey the site — size, soil, sun, drainage, and access — then produce a clear design covering layout, hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, and any water features. From that design we itemise a quote so each element has a price and you see the full cost before work starts. That is the difference between an honest number and a vague promise with a surprise bill at the end.

Why There Is No Single Landscaping Rate

Two gardens of identical size can cost very differently. One might be mostly lawn and planting; another the same area might carry paving, a retaining wall, a water feature, and a full irrigation system. So a flat “GH₵X per square metre” figure for a landscape build would be dishonest — it would hide everything that actually decides the price. What drives the cost is the mix, not the area alone.

What Drives the Cost

Driver	Why it moves the price
Size of the space	More area means more groundwork, planting, and lawn — but size alone never sets the price
Hardscape vs planting	Paving, walls, and steps cost far more than lawn and beds; the hardscape ratio is the biggest single driver
Irrigation	A drip or sprinkler system adds pipework, controls, and labour across the whole garden
Water features	Ponds, fountains, and pool surrounds add structure, waterproofing, and pumps
Site access	A tight or sloped site that machines cannot reach raises labour and groundwork cost

How a Quote Is Built

Site survey — we visit and assess the size, soil, sun, drainage, and access.
Design — a clear layout covering hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, and water features.
Itemised quote — every element priced from the design, so you see the full cost before any work starts.

This is the difference between an honest, itemised number and a vague promise with a surprise bill at the end.

The Only Published Figures — Honestly

The whole landscaping field in Ghana is overwhelmingly quoted on a site survey, and most firms publish no rate of any kind. There are only two genuinely-published figures we have seen, and we present both honestly as single-source and indicative — not fixed market rates:

New lawn / turfing: indicatively ~GH₵15 per square metre installed — a single-source figure, useful as a rough reference for laying a new carpet-grass lawn, not a guaranteed price.
Maintenance ladder: roughly GH₵300 / GH₵600 / GH₵1,200 per month for ongoing upkeep (basic, standard, premium) — again single-source and indicative, for keeping a garden after the build, not for building it.

Everything else — the design, the hardscape, the irrigation, the water features, the full garden build — is priced on your design, because that is the only honest way to quote it.

Why We Quote On A Design, Not A Flat Rate

A flat per-square-metre rate would be a guess dressed up as a price. We design your garden first, then itemise every element — hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting — so the number you see is real and matched to exactly what you are getting. You see the cost before work starts, and there is no surprise at the end. That transparency is the point: in a field that publishes almost nothing, we show you how the number is built.

Done Right & Honestly

Carpet grass (Axonopus compressus) — Ghana’s hard-wearing lawn standard — is what a new lawn is normally laid in; the indicative ~GH₵15/m² turfing figure refers to it
Any treatments use products registered with the EPA (under the Environmental Protection Agency Act, Act 490), applied responsibly
