A basic 3-man crew, including heavy duty truck and tools can cost around $200.00 per hour, or $1,600.00 per day, plus materials, travel and disposal of waste. Larger projects can cost $2,500.00 per day, or more.</p></div> • <div><p>This question is challenging because pricing varies greatly based on the job's scope, region, and required expertise.

How do I reduce landscaping costs?

• <div><p>If you want landscaping done but want to save some money on the overall fees, you can do a few things at every stage.

Start with the site work, digging or adding soils. Then plant the larger "anchor" plantings. Then follow up with the smaller fill in shrubs or flowers. Lastly, add decorative items like boulders, rock mulch and low voltage landscape lighting. This way you can budget the project based on your time and money.</p></div> • <div><p>Establishing a budget and adhering to it is crucial when starting any project. Selecting, pricing, and organizing your materials in advance can help you avoid unexpected costs later on.

Q: Should landscapers be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>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.

Q: Can I do my own landscaping?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-plant-tree.htm">planting a tree</a>, planting grass, laying sod, or building a firepit can realistically be done without the need for a landscaping professional.

Hiring a professional makes sense when doing complex work such as drainage, treating insects and disease, and pruning trees over 20 feet tall, etc. Some of these things require special licensing, such as pruning large trees. Getting multiple estimates from well-regarded professionals can help you decide the best choices for a DIY project or hiring a professional.</p></div>

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.
