Be sure to <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">check our state licensing tool</a> to review the local landscaper guidelines.As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge.

"We spent 2 years renovating our house leaving our yard a giant mud puddle. Over the course of the winter, we worked with Ron to develop the landscaping plan. In the spring, his team re-leveled the entire lot, installed 2 patios with pavers, sod, a fence, prepped for a shed and put in a new asphalt driveway and vegetation. We are very happy with the final product."

"H&H has been doing our plowing/snow removal for several years. When I first reached out to Justin with questions, I was impressed with how articulate, professional, and personable he was. I knew he was a young man because he had gone to Natick high around the same time as my children, so I was doubly impressed. That has not changed over the years, though most of my communications now are with Lauren, who is impressive in her own right! I don’t live here during the winter, but I rely on Justin and his team to take care of plowing and shoveling our walkways as usual. It’s always been perfect. I should mention that our driveway is not easy as it’s on a hill and snow must be dragged to the bottom. Plus the rock wall on the side means it’s impossible to plow completely and must be finished with a shovel at the garage bays. Not an easy assignment, but as I said, it’s always perfect!"

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.

A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them.

Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.
