In saying that if you were to spend say $10,000 on a 1 million dollar house you obviously wont get much at all or spend $50,000 using entry level material then you are also not increasing your capital gain by anything. I installed Egyptian marble in a house in Brighton worth $600 odd a sq mtr just for the stone. My current project is on a house worth far more than brighton using bluestone at $100 a sq mtr for stone only. The basic concepts in style and design can still be implemented whilst being smart in the choice of quality materials and placement of those materials. You can create quality landscapes by spending big and by spending small/medium dependant on circumstance but in both instances the 'design' is the key factor. I can supply has travertine pool coping for $60 odd dollars a piece put that against something like riverstone (mid range product) coping and there isnt much diffrence in price but the actual capital gain using the travetine is far more than riverstone.
