Why most backyard projects go over budget

Three mistakes we hear about on almost every demo call.

  • Buying plants for the wrong zone

    A hydrangea that thrives in Georgia can die back every winter in Minnesota. Garden centres stock what sells, which is not always what survives on your street.

  • Getting the light wrong

    Six hours of sun and three hours of sun call for completely different plants, even in the same yard. Most failed beds come down to this.

  • Paying for a plan you could make

    A professional design plan usually costs $1,500 to $5,000. For a straightforward yard, a good planner and an afternoon will get you most of the way.

One planner for the whole project

SprigPlan keeps the layout, plant list, maintenance schedule and budget in one place. Change a plant and the other three update with it.

Landscape planning tools in one app

Four tools that share the same yard data, so you only enter it once.

  • SprigPlan yard planner with garden beds, house, patio and trees drawn to scale

    Visual yard planner

    Draw your property to scale, slopes and odd shapes included. Plants show at mature size, so you can see whether that maple will shade the vegetable bed in five years.

  • SprigPlan plant finder showing USDA zone 6b data for Columbus, Ohio

    Plant finder by zone

    Your zip code sets the hardiness zone, frost dates and typical soil. Filter by sun, water, height, bloom season, deer resistance or pet safety.

  • SprigPlan seasonal garden care calendar with monthly tasks

    Seasonal care calendar

    A month-by-month task list built from the plants in your plan: when to prune, feed, mulch, divide and cut back for your local frost dates.

  • SprigPlan landscaping cost estimator chart for a backyard project

    Landscaping cost estimator

    Prices plants, soil, mulch, edging and hardscape straight from your layout. Compare a gravel path against pavers before you order anything.

How to plan a garden layout in SprigPlan

Most people have a first draft in about 15 minutes.

  1. 01

    Map your yard

    Trace your lot from a satellite view or type in measurements. Mark the house, trees, fences and where the sun falls in the morning and afternoon.

  2. 02

    Choose what matters

    Low maintenance, privacy, food, colour or pollinators. The plant list narrows to species that fit your goals and your conditions.

  3. 03

    Get the plan

    Download a scaled layout, a shopping list with quantities, a care calendar and an itemised budget. Share it with family or your landscaper.

Free tool

What makes SprigPlan different from other garden planners

  • Location first

    Every plant suggestion starts from your zone, frost dates and soil, so the list is short and relevant.

  • Drawn to scale

    Beds, paths and plants use real dimensions, which gives accurate plant counts and material quantities.

  • Costs included

    Most garden apps stop at the drawing. SprigPlan prices the plan so you can fit it to your budget.

  • Plans that stay in sync

    Swap a plant and the calendar, shopping list and estimate change with it.

SprigPlan compared with the alternatives

  • Hiring a designer

    $1,500 to $5,000 for a plan, and usually a few weeks before you see the first draft.

  • Free garden apps

    Fine for sketching, but plant suggestions rarely account for your zone or soil.

  • Researching it yourself

    Hours across nursery sites and forums, often reading advice written for a different climate.

  • SprigPlan

    A zone-matched plan, care calendar and budget. Free for one project, Pro from $29 a month.

Pricing

Start free and upgrade when the yard gets bigger

The Starter plan covers one full project at no cost. Pro is $29 a month for unlimited projects and exports.
