One estimate came in at $9000. One came in at $2500. Matt's estimate was $4280, and he seemed by far the most knowledgeable of the three. This was a big job. He and his two-man crew dug a trench 4 feet deep by 40 feet long in very hard soil. His two laborers dug all day for three days. Man! Those guys can work. My back went out just watching them. The job took two days longer than Matt estimated, but he did not ask for more money. My experience with contractors has been that that is unusual: if the job takes longer than expected, they usually ask for more money. When I asked Matt for the extra three jobs (remove shrubs, put in gopher cages, check sprinklers) he said \"How about if we just make it an even five?\" (up from the $4280 for just the French drain). That seemed a little high, but it was OK since I knew the French drain had taken two days longer than planned. Matt and his crew did an excellent job on everything we asked them to do. They were friendly and cleaned up after themselves every day. I think Matt's classification on Angie's list as a landscaper understates his abilities. The planning and work he did for us borders on landscape engineering. A couple of weeks after he was done, and I had paid him the full $5000, I ran our sprinklers, and two backyard sprinklers that he had said he replaced were just drizzling. I e-mailed him about it, and he cheerfully came over two days later and fixed the problem. The sprinklers are fine now. More important, the front yard is drying out and the French drain is working perfectly. Matt said to feel free to call him anytime with questions. We are very happy with the work Matt did, would hire him again and recommend him wholeheartedly."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/san-jose/proscape-landscaping-reviews-384116.htm"},"position":10}]}

"So far so good. Snaking of kitchen sink with very old pipes. Hopefully snake did not poke pipes. Only time will tell. Keeping fingers crossed. They did a good job explaining and triple checked for leaks before they left. Of course they tried to upsell and gave us a metal trap they did not quote us upfront for. We would have chosen it over plastic, but price difference would need to be cleared upfront. That's the only negative. Otherwise, thus far we are very happy with the result. Thank you for coming on such short notice and on time! Super appreciated. 4.5-5 stars."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Santa Cruz, CA
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.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
