Walterscheids WaterFree Grass is family owned, operated, and the only synthetic turf company on the Western Slope. Leonard Walterscheid and his son Daniel Walterscheid decided to join forces to create a small business while Daniel attended college at Colorado Mesa University. Leonard wanted to team up with his son to teach him how to manage and grow a business so when Daniel graduated in spring of 2014 he could have an established business to take over. Being a Former Chicago Bear and a family continually involved in football, you could ask who has more experience on turf? After many months of research Daniel and Leonard became dealers as well as certified installers with ProGreen because of their dedication to quality products, superior service/support, and attention to detail.
"Daniel and his crew were very professional and accommodating and did an Amazing job. We are more than happy with everything and how everything turned out! I would recommend him and his crew, they did a fantastic work! Thank you"

I have 8+ carpentry and construction experience, and have just ventured out on my own at the end of 2023 with my dog Trunks. I have all my own tools, a good knowledge base for common carpentry, electrical, and plumbing issues. I am trying to establish a traveling handyman and carpentry service to allow for repairs while on the road traveling and exploring what this great country has to offer!
"UP Custom Cabinetry did a great job of removing the old rotten wooden doors and jambs and replacing them with new vinyl sliding doors. He also replaced all of the rotten trim and painted."

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
