In business since 2008, Sami's Landscape & Tree service, LLC, has been serving Somerset , Union and Middlesex Counties with quality work at affordable prices. From the first time we talk on the phone, until long after job completion, our professionalism for each and every job is second to none! Call us today for a free estimate!

"I needed several trees pruned due to over-grown situations and winter damage. A few trees were very large and tall, requiring a climber. Sami inspected the situation, provided a competitive bid and was able to come out within a week. The crew arrived on-time, walked the property with us to confirm which trees and the work required. They spent the full day on-site, checked in along the way to make sure we were happy with the progress and gladly trimmed a few extra branches as requested. When they were done, the trees looked healthier and all debris was removed. I am recommending them to a couple neighbors and would definitely use Sami again."

We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity and quality work. We are experts in exteriors and landscaping and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. We look forward to working with you.

"After going through a horrific experience with A& Y Landscaping, I would NOT recommend to anyone. BUYERS BEWARE. In the beginning, I looked at the reviews posted and seeing they got good rating, decided to go ahead and contract them- to regrade my front lawn, put in topsoil, put in grass seeds. Outcome was a hacked job, so many bald spots in different areas. I had to make many persistent daily phone calls for Adolfo to come out to see for himself , It took several weeks for the crew to come out and reseed, and at the same time throwing fertilizer which by that time was a bit too late, as crabgrass and the new batch of grass seed was sprouting in the bald areas Had they, from the beginning, put in enough grass seed to cover the lawn, instead of doing it sparingly, this crabgrass issue would not have happened. Now the lawn has 70% of the crabgrass. 'eating' up the good grass This contractor by name of Adolfo has no business ethics, flip flops in his statements, a pathological liar and gives stories and excuses to suit his narrative. Good thing I did not pay full amount of $2,250 up front on the first day, which he demanded. The 2nd payment was made to lure him out to see for himself the job his crew did. The shortcuts the crew did to save their resources backfired as evidenced of crabgrass /bald spots . I consulted a real professional and reputable company that is in business for many many years to analyze and evaluate the lawn, and his findings were the same result from the research I did on the internet - which was to wait till first Frost for crabgrass to die naturally before remedial steps can be taken; In addition, this reputable company stated: That pre-emergent crabgrass control should be used during seeding process ; failure to do so can allow extensive crabgrass to germinate and overtake the thin unestablished lawn. Post emergent can and should be used during all new lawn installation. It is not advisable to kill crabgrass with weed killer in this hot season, as it will also kill the good grass, which Adolfo was suggesting to do, on top of throwing in more grass seed. It would be futile effort as grass seed CANNOT grow in July. From his statement, it goes to show he has very little knowledge in his line of business. Any professional and reputable landscaper would know about the pre and post emergent application He tries to build his company's image through lies, telling me that his company has been in business for 10 years, but his website stated that he started his business in 2019 with his brother, which i have yet to come across. One would think that with this major headache , his brother would come out to intervene. I can go on and on about all his lies and excuses, bottom line is- I will not want anybody to go through what i went through-having shouting match every time I talk to him . This Adolfo does not stand behind his company. he thinks he can get away with a hacked job and full payment."

Land clearing services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

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.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

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.
