"I hired Miguel to build a patio in my backyard, and it turned out to be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. We agreed on a 30x14 paver design for $5,700, including all labor and materials. However, Miguel showed up with only 40 pavers anyone with common sense knows that’s nowhere near enough for a space that size. Because of his poor planning (or intentional deceit), I had to pay for an additional 40 pavers and agree to a last-minute change in design just to get the job done. In total, I ended up paying over $7,900 more than $2,000 over our original agreement and I still didn’t get the design we agreed upon. He also purchased rocks in colors we never discussed, which clashed with everything and forced me to spend even more money. His so called retainer wall was so poorly constructed that I had to hire a second contractor to fix it, costing me an additional $2,000. The final product? Mismatched, two toned pavers, rushed work, and shoddy craftsmanship. On top of that, Miguel had the audacity to charge me extra because his workers had to put in more hours all due to his own lack of preparation and failure to follow our agreement. His lack of professionalism, accountability, and honesty is appalling. I wouldn’t trust this man to build a sandcastle. What I’ve learned from this mess: never pay a contractor without getting an itemized list, double check the materials yourself, and don’t assume people will be honest just because they seem nice. If I had the time and energy, I’d take him to court. But truthfully, I believe karma will handle it because there’s no way good will come to someone who operates this deceitfully. Save yourself the money and stress — do not hire Miguel"

Arboricultural services FAQs

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.

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.

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.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

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
