Request a quoteI had the whole front yard filled in with dirt. They put sod in. They planted flowers around a tree. They removed old bushes. They replanted new bushes. They cleaned up the back yard and mulched it. It was fabulous. I would highly recommend them.

Request a quoteRelatively cheap for all the work done, far cheaper than other estimates received. Not cheap on quality and service. Michael went out of his way to make our yard beautiful again. Punctual, professional, honest, hardworking, etc. I cannot recommend him enough.

"It went wonderfully. The workers were professional and nice. They cleaned my yard every day when they finished working. I had a crumbling retaining wall. But to get to the wall they had to take down an 100 foot vinyl fence. Besides that, my neighbors shed is 3 inches from my property line. They could not bring in any machinery. They dug everything by hand. I was amazed how well they worked together. It really was like an assembly line. They worked fast and good. It took them only 3 1/2 days to finish the project. I’m so glad I decided to use A Plus Exteriors. They get 5 stars from me."

"Jose and his crew were professional, friendly, and quick! They tore up a poorly maintained old garden bed with a sinking stone border and built a beautiful raised lumber bed that extends around our home. The craftsmanship is excellent, with sturdy construction and a clean, polished look that has completely transformed our landscaping. Jose also took the time to help us determine the best plants for our mostly shaded garden, offering thoughtful recommendations that will thrive in our space. His knowledge and guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They paid close attention to detail, ensuring everything was level and secure, and they left the worksite spotless when they finished. From start to finish, the communication was clear, and they worked efficiently without cutting corners. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Jose and his team to anyone looking for quality landscaping work!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts
If you are an avid DIYer and have plenty of time to dedicate to your yard, doing your own landscaping (or at least some of it) can be an affordable option. Projects like planting a tree, planting grass, laying sod, or building a firepit can realistically be done without the need for a landscaping professional. However, these projects can take considerable time and some landscaping knowledge, so having a pro might save you in the long run.
Projects that are dangerous, like digging with heavy machinery or removing a tree, should always be done by a professional.

Yes, landscaping and lawn care can be done by anyone. Just like baking, anyone can do it, but are the results good and worth the effort? Hiring a professional makes sense when doing complex work such as drainage, treating insects and disease, and pruning trees over 20 feet tall, etc. Some of these things require special licensing, such as pruning large trees. Getting multiple estimates from well-regarded professionals can help you decide the best choices for a DIY project or hiring a professional.

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.

Landscapers typically charge $50 to $80 per person per hour, which equals around $150 to $240 per hour for a three-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
Answered by Janet Larkin at Green Value Landscape + Design in Frederick, MD on 01/08/25
Landscapers charge based on the size of the project and the number of skilled workers needed to complete the project. A basic 3-man crew, including heavy duty truck and tools can cost around $200.00 per hour, or $1,600.00 per day, plus materials, travel and disposal of waste. Larger projects can cost $2,500.00 per day, or more.

This question is challenging because pricing varies greatly based on the job's scope, region, and required expertise. Obtaining multiple estimates will help you understand pricing better and keep contractors competitive.

Landscape professionals typically charge $50 to $150 per hour based mainly on the type of equipment needed to perform the task safely and efficiently.

If you want landscaping done but want to save some money on the overall fees, you can do a few things at every stage. Some ways to save money on your landscaping include:
Repurpose existing features and materials
Softscape instead of hardscape
Choose the more inexpensive materials
DIY when you can
Buy young plants instead of mature ones
Answered by Angi Experts

Saving money on a landscape project starts by breaking the project up in segments or phases. Start with the site work, digging or adding soils. Then plant the larger "anchor" plantings. Then follow up with the smaller fill in shrubs or flowers. Lastly, add decorative items like boulders, rock mulch and low voltage landscape lighting. This way you can budget the project based on your time and money.
Answered by John Fletcher at Carolina Bomanite Corp in Charlotte, NC on 01/07/25
Establishing a budget and adhering to it is crucial when starting any project. Selecting, pricing, and organizing your materials in advance can help you avoid unexpected costs later on. Additionally, considering DIY options and repurposing existing materials can be an effective way to save money.

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Licensing requirements vary from state to state and by locality. It's always best to check with your local University Extension Service to find out which services require licensing.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:
Location
Yard size
Project size
Materials
Land preparation
Type of landscaping
Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000.
