"The crew from J&R arrived on time and immediately went to work all of my questions about the job were expertly answered with courtesy. Upon completion of the tree trimming the crew members removed all of the debris and cleaned my yard completely. I will definitely use J&R for any additional Tree Service that I need in the future"

"We are extremely pleased with the work DM Tree Service did. The crew arrived when they said they would the morning of April 20th and in less than six hours both of our 80-ft tall water maples were down and everything had been cleared away. It was a joy watching them work. It was like a well-oiled machine! The cost was more than reasonable for the work they did. They took all safety precautions and nothing in our yard was damaged. We highly recommend this company."

"We had a great experience with this tree service company. We first met them when our neighbor’s Maple tree fell, and we were impressed with how hard they worked, responding to the emergency and handling everything professionally. When our large pine tree in the backyard died, we called them to take it down. They did an excellent job from start to finish. You can tell they care about their work. Highly recommend this family tree service team if you need any tree work done. Great people and great service!"

"I have used Paul Terry many times for tree service. He has trimmed limbs, taken trees down and I even asked if he could put up a rope swing for my grandchildren in a big oak tree. I have always had professional work performed by Paul Terry Tree Service. Our most recent tree service was the removal of tree limbs on our huge oak tree. And as always the work was done timely and professionally. Apparently Paul has recently partnered with Ron Graham. I have known Ron Graham for 20+ years. He is and has always been very professional and a hard working job individual. I strongly believe Ron and Paul have a very good future in their Tree Service Business. I totally recommend Paul & Ron for any tree & landscaping service. Thank you guys for a superb professional job. And also I would like to give a big shout out to their employee Rick Robb for a great job also. Rick Applegate"

"Job well done. Delivered what was discussed and agreed upon. Reasonable price for service provided. To be honest, probably not enough because it was a challenging job. Took down 3 huge oak trees out of back yard. Will call them again, should I need such service. Prompt, courteous, friendly, professional. Fascinating watching them work diligently."
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

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.
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.
Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
