My complaint stems from the service provided. This was a new deck that was built about a year before staining was to be done (May 2012). The contractor informed me that he was not going to wash the deck before staining and that it only needed one coat of stain. I felt that he was very misinformed about this and insisted the deck be gently powerwashed before staining. He did it but it was done so quickly he missed some debris on the floor of the deck. I believed it to be the insides from a bird's egg, he said it was sap from the wood. The wood was a kiln dried, pressure treated lumber. After he finished the deck, I did an inspection with one of the condominium committee members and we noticed many areas that were missed, areas that were lighter than others and brush marks. This is why I had strongly suggested that a new deck would need two coats of stain, not one. I called to discuss this. At this point he said that he could only discuss the problem with our manager and committee. I understood that because that was who had hired him and asked that I be present. I was not included in the meeting/inspection but it was decided that they would come back to fix the mistakes. Once again, I asked to be there for the re-work, but again this was scheduled when I was not home. When I came home, I found all of my deck planters on the floor of the deck with the table and chairs and hassock and plants. The deck floor obviously was not re-done; which was where most of the overlaps and brushmarks were. The leftover stain was thrown under my deck stairs. I was not made aware that there was stain there and it sat for days in 90+ degree weather so I'm sure it is not any good. The debris I spoke of earlier? There was some still there (in other words it was not completely cleaned off) with stain over it. I would not recommend this contractor unless you can accept mediocre performance/workmanship.

FAQs for plant watering projects in Northampton, MA
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.
Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:
Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose.
Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage.
In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes.
Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.
Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.
The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.
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.
