"They did a great job for a reasonable price. Honestly the yard was a total mess. They raked the leaves, mowed the grass, weed-wacked and hauled everything away. They were quick and respectful. When they finished I couldn't have been happier with the work. Complete success. I will hire them again."

"Rock Landscaping tackled a big project for us by shoring up sloped areas with retaining walls ranging in height from 2 to six feet. Additionally, they masterfully installed a beautiful large stone staircase up a steep grade (21 steps) to the upper portion of my property and surfaced my long driveway (.12 mile) with a good thick coating of D1. Russ Enz the owner gave me great pricing on this $50k plus monster sized project. His guys are true professionals, who are easy to work with, understand your vision, work hard and have a knack for turning raw land into a gorgeous landscape. Thanks Rock Landscaping for the great experience!"

"Very pleasant and polite. Careful to not bring in dirt from outside,my yard is dirrt,on my floors. Installed 3 heavy curtain rods from home depot and disposed of the boxes and old rods for me. Also changed out a garbage disposal for me. They figured out the problem with the old one, bad seal at the sink, offered to just fix that to save me $ but I decided to have them change it anyway. Again all cleaned up after and offered to dispose of it for me but I needed the old one for warranty return. Excellent repair work and easy to work with. Kept in touch about arrival time. Would call again if and when I need something else done."

"A portion of the all-weather wood foundation had not been adequately supported with metal braced 2x6 studs by the previous homeowner, and over about 15 years' time, water, ice heaves and soil movement had caused the wood foundation walls to begin bowing inward into the crawlspace. This project included digging out around the pertaining foundation, removing warped plywood walls, repositioning supporting 2x6s and anchoring with metal hurricane ties, application of Bituthene water seal coating, replacing deteriorated curtain drain piping, back-filling with sewer rock and soil, and hauling away unused excavated soil. The area was about 15 linear feet in each direction from a 90 degree corner. The concrete footers were in good condition and needed no repair.
We had gotten an estimate from this company the previous year, in which they proposed additional extensive ditching to carry groundwater away from the foundation, but we felt the cost was prohibitive at that time.  With some modification of the project and a need to remedy a potential severe foundation problem, the work done was about $3,000 less than the earlier proposal. It was recommended that the work be done before the ground had completely thawed, to reduce the amount of ground water that might pool around the work area. It took about 12 days to complete the project, due to an unexpected 7 inch snowfall on May 18th and the coming of the 3-day Memorial Day holiday.
There were 2 men, and some days 3, working on the project. They were efficient and hard working, knowledgeable about what needed to be fixed, and did even more than we expected. They were friendly and forthcoming with answers to any of our questions. We did not feel the need to oversee every step of their work. The only non-positive comment I would make is that the project might have been finished a little sooner if they had begun each day's work a littler earlier. Most days they were not here until after 9:00 am and some days not until noon.
We were extremely satisfied with this company and would highly recommend the quality they provide in addressing a wood foundation problem.

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

DIY landscaping is possible, but professional services offer expertise in selecting appropriate plants and designing functional spaces that complement the natural environment and adhere to local regulations.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
