"Very professional and friendly. The owner listens to what is wanting to be done and worked with me to get it done. They performed the job as if they were working on their own property and paid attention to detail. The project was done quickly and the price of the project is the best I could find and I would DEFINITELY recommend Down and Dirty Land Clearing for anyone looking to get anything done."

"Outstanding! Most professional and customer oriented business I have ever done business with in over 50 years! We have an in-ground pool that was installed 17 years ago. This year the plumbing for the pool developed serious leaks that required all the plumbing be replaced. We did some searching for companies that would consider excavating. It had to be done with surgical precision as utility lines were involved as well as keeping the fiberglass shell of the pool intact, which could easily have been cracked with one wrong move of the excavator. Don Muns and his crew came to the rescue. They expertly coordinated the excavation and readied the pool for the pool company to install new lines. When done, they carefully backfilled the trench and poured a beautiful concrete slab/deck. Don always kept us informed as to what he was doing and always kept our questions and concerns answered. They worried tirelessly, and hardly ever took a break while here, better than many companies that I have known. Neither one of them smoke either. If you should need an expert excavator with top of the line equipment and/or concrete work, look no further. Titan Paving and Drainage can handle it and put your worries to rest. If we should ever need them for drainage diagnosis, excavating, or anything beyond the capabilities of this do-it-yourselfer, Don will be the first person I will call. I believe he even as pics and a couple of videos out there on FaceBook and YouTube of the job site, the challenges it presented, and the finished product."

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.
If you want landscaping done but want to save some money on the overall fees, you can do a few things at every stage. Some ways to save money on your landscaping include:
Repurpose existing features and materials
Softscape instead of hardscape
Choose the more inexpensive materials
DIY when you can
Buy young plants instead of mature ones
If you are an avid DIYer and have plenty of time to dedicate to your yard, doing your own landscaping (or at least some of it) can be an affordable option. Projects like planting a tree, planting grass, laying sod, or building a firepit can realistically be done without the need for a landscaping professional. However, these projects can take considerable time and some landscaping knowledge, so having a pro might save you in the long run.
Projects that are dangerous, like digging with heavy machinery or removing a tree, should always be done by a professional.
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.
