Author Margaret Heidenry explores how U.S. builders are rethinking materials, designers are making substitutions, and clients are weighing whether the prestige of items sourced from abroad are worth a potentially substantial new upcharge. She asks design and construction experts from around the nation to weigh in on costs as global economic uncertainty looms.
Answering the Mansion Global writer’s request for comment Nick Everett, owner and ALCA certified landscape designer, describes cost impacts for building materials used in landscaping projects, such as travertine, a luxurious natural stone often imported and used in high-end landscape construction designs. Here is an excerpt from his remarks:
With tariffs in place, the cost of importing travertine could increase significantly, potentially driving up the price for customers. Additionally, the availability of this material could become more limited, leading to longer lead times for projects.
