Nobody in Cape Coral publishes landscaping prices. We do. Here's a complete breakdown of what you can expect to spend — from a single palm tree to a full yard transformation.
Landscaping prices in Cape Coral vary significantly based on plant size, installation complexity, and the scope of your project. This guide breaks down real costs so you can budget accurately before calling anyone.
Palm Tree Costs in Cape Coral
Palm trees are the biggest variable in most Cape Coral landscape budgets. The same species can range from $75 to $3,000+ depending on size. Here's a realistic breakdown:
- ✓Small container palms (7–15 gallon): $75 – $350 pickup / $125 – $550 delivered & installed
- ✓Medium palms (25 gallon): $200 – $600 pickup / $350 – $1,000 delivered & installed
- ✓Field-grown palms (10–16 ft): $400 – $1,200 pickup / $700 – $2,000 delivered & installed
- ✓Large specimen palms (Sylvester, Bismarck, Canary Date): $1,500 – $5,000+ installed
- ✓Royal Palm rows (per palm, field grown): $600 – $1,500 installed depending on height
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Buying a smaller palm and letting it grow costs significantly less than buying a large field-grown specimen — and the younger tree often establishes faster. A 15-gallon Foxtail at $330 will catch up to a field-grown 10-footer within 2–3 years.
Shrubs, Hedges, and Tropical Plants
- ✓3-gallon shrubs (clusia, arboricola, cocoplum): $15 – $45 pickup / $25 – $75 installed
- ✓7-gallon privacy hedge plants: $40 – $100 pickup / $70 – $160 installed
- ✓15-gallon large shrubs: $60 – $250 pickup / $100 – $400 installed
- ✓Full privacy hedge (50 linear feet, 7-gal clusia): $1,500 – $3,500 installed
- ✓Flowering accent plants (hibiscus, bougainvillea): $25 – $200 installed
Sod Installation Costs in Cape Coral
- ✓Floratam St. Augustine sod: $0.55 – $0.85 per square foot installed
- ✓Bahia sod (budget option): $0.40 – $0.65 per square foot installed
- ✓Average Cape Coral front yard (1,200 sq ft): $700 – $1,100 installed
- ✓Average backyard (2,500 sq ft): $1,400 – $2,200 installed
- ✓Full property sod (5,000+ sq ft): $3,000 – $5,500 installed
Full Landscape Transformation Costs
A complete front yard makeover in Cape Coral — removing old plants, installing new sod, adding palms, shrubs, and mulch — typically runs:
- ✓Basic refresh (new sod + 5–10 plants): $2,500 – $5,000
- ✓Mid-range renovation (sod + palms + privacy hedge + tropicals): $6,000 – $15,000
- ✓Full resort-style transformation (multiple large palms, designed beds, lighting): $20,000 – $50,000+
- ✓Commercial property landscaping: Quoted individually based on scope
