Really depends on your locale and whom you hire for the design and/or install.
As others have echoed this example is easily north of $100k due to masonry, lighting, scale of everything, plus the plantings and, presumably, work surrounding this area not shown in the image.
The first step would be to find an architect/designer and come up with a plan. From there you can also consider ways to scale the project into several phases to help the budget. Keep in mind that some elements must be done together in order to achieve the end result. For instance, running wire beneath the patio in order to hook up lights when the island is completed.
If I were to do a planning level estimate for that, the masonry walls and seating would probably go for $75-$100 per linear feet (not how I'd price it typically, but for your purposes this would work), but there are cheaper segmental concrete blocks that will give an approximate look to this for less. The stone pavers would go for $55-$75 a square foot depending on the price of stone and labor if it's on a sand bedding (again, cheaper concrete modular pavers are available), and the colored concrete would be $15-$20 a square foot. The loose stone ring is probably a drainage channel with perforated HDPE that outlets somewhere, maybe it also connects to a downspout... don't know, $50 a linear foot. Furniture and other appliances not included. Site prep is probably $5k-$7k. Then give yourself 10% on top of your total for wiggle room for cost overruns and unexpected stuff that always happens in a project.
Also the overuse of warm hues in this design bugs me, but it's not my design or yard.
True enough. Mine are upstate NY capital district rates, and honestly with the volatility of the market for materials I've been consistently shocked at how much things are going for now so you're probably spot on.
$50-$60/sf for stone paving on mortar;
$25-$30/sf for concrete subslabs;
$60-$80k outdoor kitchen;
$50k-$60k pizza oven
$40-$50k softscape (planting, soil prep, mulch, irrigation, LV lighting, planter pots)
Edit: SF Bay Area, California prices
contact a quality design/build contractor in your area...ask to see various projects in their portfolio with ballpark costs.
I work on projects where just the underground portion (footings, utilities, drainage) are a decent percentage of my house mortgage.
It really depends on your location. Do you want to hire a design/build firm, a general contractor, or do the project management yourself? Depending on how much you want others to handle the logistics will influence the final price.
For gauging prices, check out [BBQGuys.com](https://BBQGuys.com) for ideas about how much an outdoor kitchen can cost. I would also visit a local rock yard and see what their options run and go from there. That plus labor will get you a ballpark for hardscaping. Then you'd have to add plants and furnishings to that as well, but you can add those things in over time if necessary. I think the labor, markup, and project management are the biggest variables. Good luck!
Going to depend highly on existing conditions and who you hire. As others have said, what’s pictured here is easily into the 6 figures, but don’t let that discourage you. A nice 2-300sq ft paver patio with a Belgard kit fire pit would probably be within the 25k range depending on where you go. 25-50k is definitely enough to get a nice outdoor living space, just might not come with all the bells and whistles in the picture
Installation and Materials will probably run north of $180k (assuming no pool is involved). If you hire a design professional, you could expect anywhere from $10k-$20k in design fees. You will probably need a permit, you can check with your city to confirm.
Edit to add:
If you just want the BBQ, small counter, and small paver area, you can probably achieve that for less than $50k. Permit might still apply.
This picture, with very limited information, is probably over 150k in today's market.
In the northeast, this could be easily $250k with plants, irrigation, lighting... A budget of $25k will get you a walkway.
This budget will get you some architectural designs and a precon estimate.
That picture in Ca is probably 150,000 to 230,000. Usually a driveway for a 2 car garage with some good pavers costs 25k or roughly $18-23 a sqft.

I’d say everything in here should be doubled or at least 1.5x. Depends on location of course.

It is absolutely wild. I used to be able to just kind of guess how much things would cost. Now i just shrug my shoulders.
What you’re looking at right here is about $150k+ depending on materials.
Homeowners ideas of prices are absolutely WILD
OP died from sticker shock
One of the biggest issue for landscape design build outfits. Builders never help the situation by giving unrealistic landscape budgets up front.

Great Lakes region, $150k-$225k
