Built too close to a couple of banks of basement look-out windows, they gave a moat-like appearance to the front of the house. Outdoor Concepts built the new walls out of large limestone pieces, a variety of sizes and shapes, some up to half a ton in weight. The finished results were excellent, with a lot of attention to detail, creating terraces in places, and planting pockets in others. The retaining that needed to occur (the main entrance to the house goes between these two wall areas) stil does, but the space is more open and airy, letting in more light, and feels a lot less confined. I believe they used close to 40 tons of stone, and assembled them in jig-saw fashion in a manner very pleasing to the eye. In the course of the project they also straightened out some tricky drainage issues that were problematic to say the least. They started when they said they would, and finished in a timely manner. Came in right on budget, and were good communicators through the process, very pleasant and professional. We've worked together many times in the past, in a personal as well as professional sense with my business, Vujovich Design Build, and look forward to working together in the future.

They also offered suggestions on additional work that we could do ourselves to prevent future ice dam and drainage issues, which was appreciated and is being acted upon. We opted for a new custom slider from Marvin Windows and the installation was modified to fit the look of our room with a substantial header that matched the style, as well as additional insulation to correct mistakes made by the initial door installers long ago. The siding crew did a great job and I've only found two nails dropped - cleanup was very good. And only one plant in a crowded planting bed showed signs of a footprint, which is considerably better than I had expected. Dave Bahr personally checked on the job often and the installers were not hired just for the job, but were part of the company.We've received lots of compliments from our neighbors on how the new siding has improved the look of our house and are very pleased with the outcome.

It was a very busy time of the year and we were not in a rush. We loved the ideas and she seemed to really understand what I liked. When we picked up the design, someone also walked us around to see every plant or stone that was in the plan. They were very flexible and suggested areas to save...

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.
