You are wlecome.
How many square feet, each, of Lawn and patio. This doesn’t include shade structure?If it soes how large? BTW I don’t do or bid these jobs on a regular basis. Make sure all perimeter patio stones are laid in a mortar bed or the thing will slip apart. They should also have a bed of a few inches of sand before they get put down, if I understand what you are trying to do.

I’d plan on spending at least $10K unless he wants something real bare bones. If it’s less he’ll be pleasantly surprised and if he wants more that his option. Dont forget low voltage lighting out back. You spend most daylight hours working and the best times you will enjoy your backyard are at night.

Yes, sdr, it could easily grow into the $10K / $15K range, depending on the complexity. I mean, you start adding gazebos and full-grown trees, and furniture and stuff.

sdr is right. With any kind of hardscape, you’re looking at $10,000 +++. Start with very little grass and more planter area. Maybe a small pond or fountain. That will save a lot money on water over time. Grass consumes a lot of water in So. Cal.
I don’t recommend a lattice patio cover — they are useless. Go with a patio cover with real roofing so your outdoor furniture is protected from the elements. Do a cover that is elevated so it feels more airy. You can still be outside when it’s raining and pets will appreciate the outdoor shelter also.
Stone hardscape will cost a lot more than bare concrete or colored concrete.

Actually 10K doesnt include any of what you mentioned and is still pretty basic. The biggest expense is concrete which has skyrocketed in price as the biggest cost factor in the production of concrete is petroleum.
