"Malaces the owner of M&M Landscaping was hired to install Hardie board siding, window, door trims, facade boards and rake boards and all vinyl soffits and metal trim on a new build home in Ventnor, NJ. He was asked at that time to supply us with his insurance information. He has not done so and I have now asked him several more times for it and he still will not provide us with that. His workers started the job and in doing so they covered the white siding they were installing with black hand prints all over all sides of the house. They were constantly being told that the work was not being done well and that they needed to fix and redo multiple parts of the job. My GC on the job(Chuck Staiano) called Malaces to come out and see the mess that was done to the siding, the black new tech wood, board and batten, siding and the metal trim around the house. Malaces came out and agreed that they needed to redo many places on the siding and replace the metal work that was all rippled and bent up and clean up the damage to the places that were damaged and remove all the black hand prints all over the siding. He began replacing trim. We came to see what he started to fix and the pieces he started to replace looked better. His men then went and took touch up paint to the Hardie board siding with squirt bottles and rags and proceeded to do swirls of cleaning on the siding. When we went to see what he had done we noticed all the swirls and that the white siding was not white anymore, it had swirls of a grey look all over it. We immediately contacted him and sent him pictures asking what did he do. He then tried saying he didn't do it. Our neighbors camera shows his men doing the swirls on the house and their ladders leaning against all the metal trim that is now not only rippled but all dented. There was no-one else but his crew working on the outside of the house. We called for a Hardie representative (Steve Taggart) to come out to see if there was any fix to this. We also asked Malaces to be there. Malaces was trying to say that the touch up from Hardie was defective and that was what caused all the damage. Steve submitted the pictures and product codes with a description of the issue. That department assesses the product codes to see if this happened anywhere else to deem it a manufacturing issue. Steve explained that Hardie only has one touch up kit so it would not be possible to send the wrong one. His expectation is that they are not going to see this as an issue with their materials. Steve also said our warranty on the Hardie products are voided based on the damage that was done. He said the outcome to this will have to be an insurance claim through Malaces insurance for all the damage including other materials that were also damaged on the house. I have been in contact with Malaces and expressed I would like to not have to pursue this with legal action and would like to have his insurance information to resolve the issues. He is still avoiding sending the insurance information and instead is asking me to pay him in full because "the job is done" We have paid him $20,000 so far and the balance of $10,000 would of been paid if the job was done well. Everything he did was negligently installed and consequential damage was the result. We are having a quote from another contractor for removal of everything and new material bought and replaced. I am not able to resolve this with him so I have retained a lawyer. The material alone which we have purchased for Malaces to install was way over $60,000. Not counting what he was already paid. My only resolutions to put this through his insurance company. If he wants to claim that Hardie sold him bad materials then he can fight that with them. Hardie denies that there was anything wrong with their product that it was an issue caused by Malaces. i'am requesting his insurance information from you so I can proceed with a claim needed to rectify this issue. I have multiple photos and videos and correspondences to support all of my claims. there has been 3 pymts.. 8/18/23, 8/24/23,10/4/23. total of $20,000"

"This was the worst experience I have ever had with a landscaping company. They are disorganized and nobody in the office communicates with one another. I was scheduled for lawn cutting and they forgot to pull my information. I was told I would be on a Thursday and then they moved me to a Monday. It took 3 weeks before they came out to cut my lawn. I scheduled a spring clean up months before the date. At 5:30 in the evening they still had not come even though I had confirmed the date. I called again and was told a truck was coming. I cancelled it as it was getting too much with shadows and would be dark soon. The owner even gave me an attitude after I told him why I was cancelling his services. Get organized Jays!"

"Steve from Royal Landscapes promptly gave me a fair estimate on a drainage issue I was having at the corner of my house. His excellent crew trenched the downspout and tied in my sump pump outflow pipe to drain down the side of my property to a popup. They even cleaned up the weeded side and replaced with river rocks. The side now looks professionally landscaped. Very impressed with their work. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future."

"We reached out to The Sprinkler Company after we had some major landscaping done at our home. Unfortunately, the tree and shrub removal, drainage, & new plantings damaged our irrigation system. We scheduled an appointment and Chuck came out to assess the system, however the damage was significant and nothing was working. He recommended scheduling a service call with a technician who could repair the damage and see what was viable/not viable. Within a week they were back to fix some cut wires and broken pipes. Afterwards, Chuck was able to give us a proposal for reconfigure the system to accommodate the new landscape layout. He put the repair cost as a deposit towards the new work we're getting done, which saved us a few hundred dollars! Very pleased and can't wait for the system to be refurbished in the spring."

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.

Licensing requirements vary from state to state and by locality. It's always best to check with your local University Extension Service to find out which services require licensing.

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

Saving money on a landscape project starts by breaking the project up in segments or phases. 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.

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.

Yes, landscaping and lawn care can be done by anyone. Just like baking, anyone can do it, but are the results good and worth the effort? 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.

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.
