Obtaining multiple estimates will help you understand pricing better and keep contractors competitive.</p></div> • <div><p>Landscape professionals typically charge $50 to $150 per hour based mainly on the type of equipment needed to perform the task safely and efficiently.</p></div>

How do I reduce landscaping costs?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Repurpose existing features and materials</p></li><li><p>Softscape instead of hardscape</p></li><li><p>Choose the more inexpensive materials</p></li><li><p>DIY when you can</p></li><li><p>Buy young plants instead of mature ones</p></li></ul><p></p></div> • <div><p>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.</p></div> • <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should landscapers be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">check our state licensing tool</a> to review the local landscaper guidelines.</p></div> • <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I do my own landscaping?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-plant-tree.htm">planting a tree</a>, 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.</p><p>Projects that are dangerous, like digging with heavy machinery or removing a tree, should always be done by a professional. </p></div> • <div><p>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.</p></div>

Our back yard, like many in Bella Vista, was covered in stone. We had an area off our patio where we wanted grass. Jose and his crew began work the day after I contracted them. At my request, they moved the rock from the area into other sections of the yard where rock would remain. The rock was...

I had a section of our front yard that was impossible to grow grass because of two shallow rooted trees. We decided to have it covered in stone. They did a great job, showed up when they said they would and completed it on time.

I was referred to Audubon from a friend. I no longer wanted grass in my yard, but something more natural. They came out, assessed the situation, made recommendations, then implemented the agreed upon plan. I am much happier with my yard now.
