A garden should enrich your life and be a place to laugh, contemplate and reflect.

"Brian met with us, took copious notes on what we were looking to do, and then provided a detailed proposal. His was not the lowest priced bid, but on 2 separate occasions I had questions that I emailed him, and he responded within 12 hours each time. (I can't say the same about the sales guy from a different company I had bid on our project, who never emailed back or called unless I tried to contact him twice.) Brian was beyond diligent, and sincerely cared that we would be happy with our end result. He did a computer-diagrammed plan of our front planting beds that we were refreshing, including removal of several cubic yards of rock and moving it to some areas in our side and backyard that needed it and disposing the rest, as well as removal of old poly and stale and dying plants. He and his crew were careful not to damage our lawn with their heavy equipment. They used plywood laid down on the grass so no ruts would go into our yard from the Bobcat. All told 3 separate front planting beds were refreshed. in one of the beds, a few of the new plants, still in their pots, were ones my wife didn't end up liking aesthetically, and Brian made suggestions on alternatives and with absolutely no qualms he replaced the original choices with the new ones, no questions asked. They planted all new shrubs and plants and laid down new mulch. In our backyard there were 3 old overgrown and dead junipers that they removed and regraded a small sloped bed and planted some more appropriate evergreens and groundcover plants. More mulch went down there as well. In both the front and backyards, a couple of drain tiles were placed to aid in diverting sump pump water away from the house in the back, and improve drainage from a previously installed drain tile in the back corner of our backyard. Everything went on schedule and Brian's crew was diligent and pleasant to work with. Brian made sure to supervise everything each day. He rounded it all out with an excellent review of the care of the new plants, complete with a folder with lots of written instructions that are easy to follow. Brian and his company were a pleasure to work with, and frankly the gold standard in customer service for any contractor, landscaping or otherwise."

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.
