How Much Does a Small Backyard Landscape Cost in Las Vegas? A Real Project Under $7,000

Can you landscape a small backyard in Las Vegas for under $10,000? Yes. We recently completed a modern backyard transformation in Summerlin for $6,960, including porcelain pavers, artificial turf, decorative rock, a custom greenery wall, stucco, and landscape lighting.

At All American Landscape, we believe a smaller backyard can still have a luxury feel. The key is choosing the right materials, designing around the available space, and paying attention to the details.

From an Empty New Construction Backyard to a Modern Outdoor Space

Like many newly built homes in Las Vegas, this property started with an unfinished backyard. There was dirt, exposed block walls, and limited space to work with.

The homeowners wanted a clean, modern design that complemented their home while creating a comfortable area to relax and entertain.

We developed a custom landscape design, prepared the HOA package, and selected materials that would make the space feel larger, more inviting, and easy to maintain.

What We Installed in This Las Vegas Backyard

Instead of overcrowding the space with unnecessary features, we focused on materials that would make the biggest visual impact.

Porcelain Pavers for a Modern Look

We installed approximately 110 square feet of MSI Benton Anthracite 24 × 24 porcelain pavers.

Porcelain was a great choice for this backyard because of its clean appearance, contemporary color, and durability. We used the pavers to create a functional patio and walkway, with polished black river rock separating sections of the design.

The contrast between the gray porcelain and black rock gives the backyard a modern, finished look.

Artificial Turf for a Low Maintenance Backyard

We added approximately 90 square feet of Viridian Green artificial turf.

Even a small amount of turf can make a big difference. It brings greenery into the space, softens the surrounding hardscape, and creates a comfortable area without the regular watering and mowing required by natural grass.

For homeowners looking for low maintenance backyard landscaping in Las Vegas, artificial turf can be a practical option when properly installed and maintained.

A Custom Artificial Greenery Wall

One of the standout features of this project is the custom artificial greenery wall.

We covered the existing block wall with artificial fern greenery and added a decorative Sequoia centerpiece to create depth and texture.

This feature turned an otherwise plain wall into a focal point without requiring additional irrigation.

We also applied a new stucco finish to the opposite wall to complement the home's exterior and create a clean backdrop for outdoor seating.

Decorative Rock and Landscape Lighting

We installed polished black river rock around the porcelain pavers, turf, and decorative areas.

To help keep the rock in place, we also applied rock adhesive throughout the designated areas.

Low voltage accent lighting was incorporated to highlight the feature walls and add warmth to the backyard in the evenings.

Why We Changed the Original Design

Not every decision is finalized on paper.

Our original design included three L shaped pathway lights. Once we evaluated the actual backyard, we felt the fixtures were too large for the space.

Rather than install something that would take away from the overall design, we removed those lights and refunded the homeowners for that portion of the project.

We also added paver improvements to the front yard.

Good landscape design means being willing to make adjustments when they improve the finished result.
