He then started on time and the crew was respectful, clean, and most importantly, were careful of my beloved plants. The porches look beautiful and the pergola on the 3rd floor is stellar. They cleaned up after themselves and were all around fantastic. I highly recommend them and plan on using them again.

We met and discussed the work, and Chris followed-up two weeks later with a detailed design and estimate. He was very open to suggestions and willing to answer questions. When I decided to go ahead with the project, Chris told me that I was scheduled as the second large job of the season and he anticipated doing the work in late May to early June. Unfortunately, the weather in May was less than optimal for outdoor work, and the job before mine took much longer than expected. However, Chris kept me posted as that job progressed so that I had an idea about his scheduling. Chris and his crew, Patrick and Russel, began working at my home the third week of June and completed on July 3. The work went very smoothly and according to plan. The men were very polite, hard working, and left the work site clean and organized at the end of each day. While work was underway, Chris would call at least one a day to update me on their progress, and more often if he had any questions or issues. His communication was excellent. When the large bushes in front of the house were removed, it was evident that the stone steps behind them needed repair. I contacted a mason, who ended up scheduling his one-day job at the same time the Chris and his crew were planting. I was concerned that the two sets of workers would get in each others way, but Chris felt there would be no problem and the two crews got along fine. I am delighted with the final result. The plants that Chris chose are healthy and growing well, and the landscape design really compliments my home. After everything was in, he spent time with me discussing care and maintenance of each plant. A final word about Chris' excellent service. I had to leave town for the July 4th weekend and was concerned about providing water for the new plants. Chris said he would take care of it...indeed he did! I arrived home on July 4th to find Chris watering the plants in my yard.

Partly this was my expectations. Partly this was mis-communication. I had interviewed a number of landscapers asking for a \"carpet of vinca\" -- ie. we didn't want to wait years for it to connect and look nice. I told them all we didn't want to look at \"hair plugs\" of plants while we waited years for them to grow together. Most landscapers told me I was being unrealistic and it would cost thousands. John said \"I can do it!\" He showed us a book to pick the plants, then he called back later to say that one of our choices wasn't available in this climate zone. (That shook my confidence in his plant knowledge, but we proceeded because our first choice was available and his price was so cheap it was less than we'd expected to pay on plants alone.) He told us he would buy 100 3\" pot vinca plants and that he felt that would fill the area, like we wanted with \"just a little bit of mulch showing\"...then he called to say the nursery didn't have 100 potted plants, so he was going to use individual plugs in flats to make up the difference. At least that's what I thought he meant, but he bought all flats of plant plugs. Despite the discussions about wanting plants close together and not wanting to see much of the mulch, he instructed the young helpers to plant them 6\" apart. When I tried to interrupt and say we wanted them closer, he overspoke me and we had one of our garbled conversations and everything was smoothed over. The day of the work, I came home to find that the 2 helpers had obviously started their work on either sides, because these was much better plant coverage in the corners where no one can see and it looked really bald right in the most visible middle area. I had a garden of hair plugs and I was horrified. I called John and he came that night. In the meantime, I called the nursery where he bought the plants. I was surprised that a landscaper would buy plants (especially so many) from a retail nursery, but to his credit, he gave me the sales slip and charged the plants at cost. When I spoke to the person at the nursery, they assured me that the number of plants was very high for the area being planted and one wouldn't want to plant more. So I re-aligned my expectations. John came and clearly wanted to make me happy. He didn't really see why I was upset, though he did see that the plants were thinnest where the garden was most visible. So he offered to plant 2 more flats (without charging labor) if I paid for the plants ($80). In the end, with the additional plants it looks a lot better.. and with my re-adjusted expectations, I am happy with the results. I was not happy with the communication problems. I am hesitant to give John less than high grades because he clearly cares about pleasing the customer, and on more straight-forward projects, I bet he's excellent."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/waltham/giancarlo-bianchi-reviews-191571.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"COSCO LANDSCAPE CO","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SUSAN W."},"reviewBody":"Dom Cosco responded quickly to our initial inquiry.

Since we COULD do it ourselves, we had a limit on what we were willing to pay, so we were getting several quotes … most of which were higher than we had hoped.

"After several attempts to just hire Golden Hill Landscaping & Construction (during a bid process), I finally did. The rates seemed comparable, at first. However, there were many projects to be completed at my deceased mother's house. Because I am disabled and not able to get to the property, I couldn't see how badly I was taken advantage of. Not only did I pay for a job they did not do, I also paid for another job that is unfinished, plus a french drain that is causing a sink hole, and the buried equipment is now above ground. All 3 of these projects pose safety risks. The french drain collapse is only a few months after installation. After bringing these issues to the owners attention (the unfinished project I'd requested be completed for months), the owner began ignoring me. When I mentioned that litigation was going to move forward, the owner said he'd look at the work that week then blew me off again. When they actually do work, Golden Hill's quality of work is atrocious and will need to be fixed. They broke the house vinyl siding when cutting down a tree branch and refused to fix it. I hired a contractor to fix that. They will overcharge (snowplowing is expensive), take advantage of you if you are a senior or disabled, and will try to get paid without working. They should not be in business and allowed to take advantage. I now have to pay someone else to fix their work, finish their work, and do a $375 job they never did. They've been paid over $10,000, with more work to be done at multiple properties. They agreed to do a quote at a second property, then never showed up. One would figure, with that kind if business, a company would want to perform quality work and respond to a dedicated customer. Aroldo at Golden Hill Landscaping & Construction will do a poor job or not at all, blow off appointments, ignore requests, and refuse to fix problems. He will, however, not hesitate to pick up a check. You should not ever hire them. If you do, be prepared to throw money away."

FAQs for plant watering projects in Waltham, 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.
