"These guys did a great job on our retaining walls! They got started quickly and got our input on the key design options at each step of the process, and they cleaned up after themselves better than any contractor I’ve worked with. We got multiple quotes and the price was very reasonable. We love our new retaining walls!"

"Very disappointed for the lack of care and quality that went into the job. The job that they completed for me was completely re-doing my flower beds around the front of the house and around my large tree in the front yard. When I requested a quote, the company owner showed up to the house to sell me on the vision of what we could do, then after signing I got a bunch of kids that rushed through the job. Sold by the visionary, but work completed by young guys with a lack of care. -They were the most expensive of four quotes, thought I would get higher quality. -They didn't use the thick black material that prevents weeds like all three other competitors who gave me quotes did, they just sprayed weed killer (likely as a cost-cutting option). -Their young kids/guys who completed the job over-sprayed the weed killer a solid two to three feet all along the outside of the flower beds and killed a lot of my grass outside of the flower beds, as well as other areas of my yard many feet away from the flower beds. Just random sprayed spots where the grass has now been dead for weeks. Just use the black material like everyone else does....rather than kill a bunch of my grass.... -They left a bunch of clumps of grass and weeds in the flower beds that they never pulled out like they were supposed to, very very sloppy. I essentially had to go around cleaning up these clumps from the flower beds after they left the job. -They left two different rows of bushes completed lop-sided and not in a straight line along the house, they ended up having to come back another day to fix this. -They ended up leaving two empty spots where one of the young guys that was somewhat in charge told me he would plant two particular plants in those two spots, then just never did. So they had to come back another day upon my request to plant something in those spots. -They tried to charge me for additional plants that were already on blueprint/invoice sheet from the original quote. They ended up fixing this, but come on guys.... For this being the most expensive of the four quotes, I really ended up being the sucker....good for this company, they got another high profit job by selling the vision and then *well* under-delivering. I paid the invoice in full and moved on, but I would advise anyone else reading this review to not buy into the vision of the owner or his son, in terms of what picture they paint in your mind about quality. These two guys WILL NOT be the ones doing the work."

"Matt came out and set up an annual contract for landscaping with a schedule for what was done each month($450/mo). They came out to mow twice in October then I never heard from them again! Except to receive a monthly invoice. I was supposed to get yard cleanup and two leaf cleanups between the end of October and December. When I received the December invoice I asked the office manager why I had not received my services for November. She said she would look into it and have someone get back to me. A week later, (12/15), I still had not heard back from anyone. I canceled my contract with them and all future work and I still never heard a word from them. Zero attempts to rectify the situation or to apologize. I do not understand how they can still be in business if there are other clients who have been treated this way!"

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.
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.
Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:
Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose.
Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage.
In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes.
Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.
Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.
The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.
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.
