An outdoor living project in Westover Hills is rarely one thing. It is a patio, usually some grade to deal with, lighting, and drainage, designed together so the finished yard works as one space. Full landscape projects in DFW commonly run $15,000-$80,000+, and most design-build projects in Westover Hills land between $50,000 and $300,000 because the lots are larger and the scope usually covers the whole property.
This guide is for homeowners planning a real project: a patio, hardscape, or a full backyard. If you are pricing weekly lawn care, this is not that page.
What each project level includes
| Project level | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|
| Refresh | $8,000-$20,000 | Bed renovations, new plantings, mulch, edging, and a focused hardscape element. |
| Full backyard project | $25,000-$60,000 | Comprehensive design with patio, plantings, lighting, irrigation, and drainage. |
| Estate landscape | $70,000-$200,000+ | Whole-property master plan with extensive hardscape, outdoor living, and features. |

What is actually in an outdoor living project?
Four things, usually, and they are designed together or they fight each other:
- The patio. The floor of the outdoor room. On Westover Hills lots that is usually natural stone or pavers, sized for how you actually entertain.
- Walls and grade. Rolling ground means most projects here hold or shape a slope. Our Dallas retaining wall cost guide covers that part of the budget, and Retaining walls and drainage in Westover Hills covers how the wall and the water get designed together here.
- Lighting. Estates here are seen at night as much as by day. Low-voltage landscape lighting for trees, paths, and the facade is part of the design, not an add-on.
- Drainage. Clay soil and slope mean water has to be routed on purpose. We design drainage into the hardscape rather than fixing it after.
What drives cost on a Westover Hills lot?
Scale, mostly. These are some of the largest residential lots in Fort Worth, with rolling terrain and mature landscapes that have been maintained for generations. Most projects here are careful, phased renovations: protecting established trees, matching existing stonework, and working discreetly on streets where construction is expected to be invisible. That care is labor, and labor is where estate budgets go.
One more thing worth knowing: Westover Hills is its own town with its own rules for construction work. Requirements should be confirmed with the town before anything is built. We prepare the plans and work with the Town and registered licensed trades to get permits filed and inspections scheduled.
