How much does Tilly Design cost? (2026)

The short answer

Tilly Design pricing breakdown

Package	Price	What is included
Front Yard	$559	Custom 2D and 3D plans for the front of the property, with a regional plant selection plus hardscape and lighting suggestions.
Backyard	$699	The same deliverable for the back of the property, which is usually the larger and more complex space.
Full Yard	$1,049	Front and back together. Cheaper than buying the two separately and the tier most people looking at a whole property want.
Native & Beneficial: Front Yard	$699	Front yard designed around regional natives and pollinator-friendly planting rather than a general ornamental palette.
Native & Beneficial: Backyard	$839	The native and pollinator treatment applied to the back of the property.
Native & Beneficial: Full Yard	$1,259	The whole property designed around native and beneficial planting. The most expensive package and the one with the clearest reason to exist.

Prices are approximate and change over time. Always confirm current pricing on Tilly Design's own site.

What drives the price up or down

•Which area you are designing: front, back, or the whole property.
•Whether you choose the standard palette or the Native & Beneficial line, which adds roughly $140 to $210 per package.
•The plants themselves, which are a separate purchase from the design and usually cost far more than it.
•Installation, which is not included in any package and is the largest number in the whole project.

The cheaper first step

For the visualisation alone, AI Garden Design costs $19 to $69 per month with unlimited redesigns of your own photo. It gives you no plant selection and no way to buy anything, but it is the cheapest way to know what you want before spending $559 to have someone draw it.

Tilly Design cost, common questions

How much does Bower & Branch Design Studio cost?

Packages are priced by area: $559 for a front yard, $699 for a backyard, $1,049 for a full yard. The Native & Beneficial line runs $699, $839 and $1,259 for the same three areas.

Is this the same as Tilly Design?

It is the same design service. Bower & Branch acquired Tilly in August 2024 and relaunched it as Design Studio; the old Tilly pricing of roughly $649 to $1,899 no longer applies.

Does the price include the plants?

No. The package buys the design. Bower & Branch sells the specified trees and plants separately through its marketplace, which is the main structural difference from every other online design service.

What is the cheapest way to design my yard?

DIY and AI tools. AI Garden Design gives unlimited photorealistic redesigns of your own photo from $19 per month. A human package adds regional plant selection and a buildable plan, for hundreds more.
