Since 2014, Green Thumb Yard Care has provided high quality, professional outdoor services that support a healthier environment. Our business is distinguished from our competitors in several ways. First, we are residentially focused. Most of our clients are homeowners, and we understand and appreciate the attention to detail and high quality workmanship that homeowners expect. We are also committed to performing our work in a way that minimized our ecological footprint. A few tangible steps that we have taken to reduce our environmental impact include recycling and composting waste materials whenever possible, and reducing the amount of herbicides used in our lawn treatment program by utilizing the most environmentally friendly techniques and science. At Green Thumb, we price our work fairly. We do not adjust our pricing based on the value of your home or the neighborhood where you live. We always start with our best price. The way that we treat and compensate our employees and contractors sets us apart from other similar service providers. We pay our team as a percentage of labor revenue. This allows our team to earn higher wages as they become more proficient at their job and encourages them to perform their best work. Lastly, our owner, Danny Pittas, is still directly involved in each project. His passion for landscaping and horticulture guide the business in an evolving and changing industry.

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.
The average cost of playground equipment installation is around $500, and most homeowners pay between $330 and $700, excluding the cost of the playground equipment itself. Your total project cost will depend on site preparation requirements, playset size, design complexity, number of accessories, and the swing set materials. Don’t forget to account for the cost of playground surfacing, which can cost between $15 to $160 per cubic yard or $225 per cubic yard for poured rubber.
The cost to install a basketball hoop can range from $200 to $5,000. This price heavily depends on the type of basketball hoop you choose, as some require equipment and some do not.
For example, you can most likely assemble a portable basketball hoop yourself, with a cost of $150 to $500. However, if you're looking for something more permanent, a roof-mounted hoop requires specialized tools and roof anchors, costing a total of $2,000 to $5,000.
Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.
