"Gardens by the Yard is a a phenomenal landscaping team from its owner and head landscape designer to the entire group of workers. I asked for a low maintenance, perennial garden at the best possible price. Leisha listened carefully to my needs and thought carefully about what would work in a heavily shaded space and what colors would look best with mu house and the overall environment. Consulting me as they went along, her team planted everything perfectly. I have never encountered a more courteous, helpful group. Leisha has designed a gorgeous garden that is giving me immense pleasure and will do so for many years to come--and at a price that I could afford. In short, my experience with Gardens by the Yard was simply terrific!"

"Narrow Lane Landscaping are great! They are a family business and do a terrific job. I’ve been with them for years and am disabled and rely on them to get my aide into my house and me out by 6:30 a.m. (early in the morning!). I have had the same crew for years so they know what is important to me in terms of priorities, etc. I have severe osteoporosis and need to walk every day so they need to get the snow off down to the pavement and they do. They also do wonderful landscaping and yard work in the spring and summer. [*** Link removed ***] 617-620-3795. Narrow Lane Landscaping"

"John's Landscaping was very professional and prompt. John showed up on time and had some really creative ideas for a design. His design team does a great job and worked with us through multiple revisions of the project. The install was done on time and in a professional manner and the yard looks great.

"Roberto and his team were great. We hired them to install Sod on our property. We got a fair proposal quickly and they were able to complete the work in record time. The work is great and the neighbors said we must have hired great landscapers because it looks awesome."

"We just hired GF Landscaping for a spring clean up and are very pleased with the results. They did a great job cleaning up the leaves and tree limbs that had fallen over the winter. They took great care putting in mulch. The yard looks 100% better. We will definitely be hiring them again."

"I needed some repairs to my brick walkway which was both bulging and sinking d/t nearby root invasion. I also had a collapsed brick landing area (small patio) outldie a porch slider that had completely collapsed, I thought b/c of animals burrowing. I called several highly rated providers who did hardscaping and Dan Sturtz was the first to return my call, which I think was the very same day or close to it. He scheduled a visit very quickly and I was so impressed by his style and approach, I inquired about some landscaping (mostly moving existing plantings) that I needed done. He added those items to the list.
It took a bit of time (2 weeks) to get the written estimate which was not a big problem except that I was going out of town for two weeks and wanted to be around when the work was done. It was scheduled the day before I was to leave but, as luck would have it, the weather did not cooperate and the work couldn't be done that day. Nevertheless, Dan came by (accomodating my shedule for that day) and we did a detailed walkthrough of what was to moved where and everything was marked. The work was done while I was away. and met with my complete satisfaction.
Of note, Dan is scrupulous about protecting your property when working with heavy equipment. Part of his estimate covers the materials he uses to keep lawns and driveways free of damage or debris. This is very impressive and much appreciated.

"I recently had artificial turf installed in my back yard by Intelliturf. It looks amazing!! Because of very large trees and very little sun I could never have grass in my back yard. The turf is perfect, very easy to maintain. Jeff and his crew were professional, hardworking and always pleasant."

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.
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
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.
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.
