Because of not getting the system done in time last year we spent $600 paying the gardener to water the garden, in a addition to $1000 I spent for plumbing to prep the job. I am out $1600 and now still have to find a contractor. It is astounding to me how quickly these people forget how their business was just a few years ago, and now treat existing customers as if they are not worth their time. I never right reviews, but the attitude was astounding, and would warn potential customers that if you want a reliable contractor.... look elsewhere.

And the best of all - we get plants that can actually tolerate the roof deck weather!!! We got a mixture of very pretty flowers - perennials and annuals, fruit trees, "entertainment veggies" - considering that our tomatoes might cost $10/each after the math... Kerry has a good taste, she brings the best of the local nurseries. They are just great people, pleasant team. Kerry tests the soil, adjusts the pH, adds nutrients (all organic, which I love). We hire them every year - they started doing our Christmas decorations, flower boxes, etc... The garden is also requires zero work, as the plants are on automatic irrigation. They are little more expensive than the competitors, but totally worth. Wisteriaand Rose is a family business that is just reliable and solid. I had enough of bad experiences with other cheaper companies - my spring flower boxes looked like a Halloween decoration…never more. If I hire Kerry, I know the quality is going to be excellent! No headaches, no bad surprises.

Once we decided to move ahead with the job, he kept in contact regarding when he'd be able to start -- the constant rains in late May pushed back schedules a bit.
Once started, the team worked efficiently, completing the job in the timeframe promised. The job was done with high quality materials, and with skilled roofers. While in progress, a big storm hit. The exposed roof was carefully covered before the team left due to the wind and pouring rain; John came back later in the day to check on things as well, to ensure that the tarp was well secured.
Care was taken to ensure that the plants and other landscaping around the house remained undamaged. Clean-up was thorough as well.
The estimate was accurate, and there were no additional charges. On the final invoice, the cost for soffit venting panels was deducted, as existing panels were able to be reused. This impressed me -- I hadn't noticed the panels were reused, and I appreciate HarCo's honest way of doing business.

"Roberto and his crew did an outstanding job! We usually do all of our hedge abs shrub trimming ourselves, but with a few other projects going on we hadn’t gotten them all season long and they were seriously overgrown. 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. Roberto worked with us on the pricing, which was good news because now it was off of our plate! His crew was there the early next day … fast, friendly, courteous, conscientious and neat!

FAQs for plant watering projects in West Roxbury, 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.
