They pointed out some areas where my flowers layed over on the driveway, explaining, if not trimed it could cause the sealer to splater. I had no problem with plants being cut back. So they trimed, and cleaned up the dirt, plant material on the whole driveway and parking area. The cracks were repaired, with nice clean edges. Rather than back their truck through a set of gates, they carried five gallon buckets of sealer down a steep grade into the back yard, to begin on a parking area, and under a second story deck. We are talking about additonal work, on an already hot day. All during the time they worked, I watched. They were careful to leave nice clean edges, avoid fencing, and other plants. Working around a set of deck posts, and stairs, with no sealer on any wood surfaces. There was no complaining, cussing or offensive language. They were pleasant, and very polite. The job was finished with a barracade in place. This is the second time I have had the black top sealed, since I bought the house. The last company showed up late, slopped sealer everywhere, throwing it down and rushing off. So I am very pleased with Premium Sealcoat!!!!!!!! Happy with both their price and their work. Prior to leaving I gave them each a cold soda, and tip! I also called the company to express what a great job they did!I It is so difficult to find, any company that takes pride in their work, but they certainly do.

They replaced two basement windows, which were original to my home (about 60yrs old). They were in bad condition, previous owners had kept adding mortor around the metal frames, to stop leaks rather than replace them. Workers arrived earlier than planned, however that is a good thing! After looking at the windows, they got straight to work, no use of profanity, respectful, careful to move plants, heavy furniture safely away from the work area. Explaining the types of materials used, and what to expect from the installed glass blocks. When the job was completed the area was completely cleaned up, with everything hauled away with them. Very pleased with their work and ethic! Good job, and I am a picky person!

They put the treated bait that the termites take back to the colony to kill it at that location. Since the first year I have paid for their annual contract renewal to keep the monitoring traps in place to make sure no termites show up. They monitor the traps monthly, and move or install new ones if foundations plantings or other changes around the house make new traps necessary. The Sentricon system is not cheap, but I believe only putting out poison where and when necessary is preferable to putting it everywhere. Also the idea of using a minimal amount that the termites take back to their colony where they feed it to each other to kill the colony seems to me the most effective and environmentally responsible way to deal with them.

I explained that we are a military family stationed overseas and needed to have a tree stump removed and a new mesquite tree planted in its place. This company promptly replied and set up a free estimate for the work, which was $55 for the stump removal and $100 for planting a replacement tree, which included the price of the tree, plus a 10 percent military discount off the final price. I was told and quot;Regarding payment- We can schedule when the check arrives to your tenant and they can pay us upon completion of the job. and quot; I then received an HOA notice to remove and quot;debrisand quot; so I contacted Romeo again and was told to hold the check until they got me a quote regarding the removal of the and quot;debris. and quot; A few days later, they emailed me a revised quote -- I have copied the relevant portion of their email below: and quot;We are set with a date and time along with a slight change of price. The new invoice is $200.00, this includes all manual labor and purchasing of Blue Foothills Palo Verde tree as well as removal of tree/root ball. Date of service is Nov. 18, 2010 between 12:0-2:00pm.Price of tree from Mesquite Valley Nursery on Speedway is :$80.00 this is a15 gallon tree that is currently standing 6 feet high. We will send you an invoice and receipt from Mesquite Valley, once the work is completed. We do ask that you send payment to your tenants as we will collect when our service is completed. We realize it is coming from overseas, so we will confirm with your tenants that they received payment. and quot; I then received the following email: and quot;I made a mistake on the gallon it will be a 5 gallon for $35.00. Total invoice price is $200.00and quot; I assumed that the change in price was due to the additional work to remove the and quot;debrisand quot; and sent off the check to ensure that it would get to my tenants in time for the appointment date. When I checked with our tenant regarding the work, I was told that the and quot;debrisand quot; had been some tree pods which the tenants had removed and that they had informed Romeo of this. My tenant also told me that Romeo completed the work on an earlier date than the scheduled appointment date, that they had told her that they would stop by to pick up the check when it arrived, and that the tree that was planted was no where near 6 feet tall. She sent me a picture of a tree that made Charlie Brown's Christmas tree look like the National Christmas tree! I contacted Romeo on 18 November regarding this information and received the following response the same day: and quot;1. I did originally quote you the prices you mention in your email, but sent you another email with the total of $200.00, which you wrote back and stated that was fine. We included the price of: removal of entire root ball system, shopping for the tree/payment of the tree and soil , planting of the tree. Total hours for this job:5 2. I wrote you an email stating the tree would be in a 5 gallon pot and the total is $35.00 plus tax. See attached invoice/receipt for tree and soil. 3. Your tenant *****, told me her husband removed the debris and stated there were only pods next to the house, therefore; no debris was taken by Romeo Tree Service LLC. 4. Please refer to the emails/correspondence over the last several weeks for any additional information and clarification. 5. On November 9, 2010, I sent you an email that states the price of: $200.00, you responded and quot;Thanks so much!and quot; and quot; I will put the check in the mail todayand quot; So, I am not sure exactly were the miscommuncation comes in or that you are now saying you were unaware of this until today. To plant a six foot tree would have cost; $65.00-85.00 plus, for our service to dig a whole that big to accommodate this tree would cost you between $400.00 - $550.00 6. I sent you an email soon after {about 3 minutes} stating that the tree is in a 5 gallon. {That is about 3-4 feet high. I assumed you knew this, and, yes, I should have clarifed the trees height in the email. However, that would have changed the price to about $250.00 MORE not less.and quot; On November 19 I wrote: and quot;I think that I know what happened. I did not know that my tenant had told you that the and quot;debrisand quot; was only tree pods and she did not tell me that it was just the tree pods. So when you emailed me with the slight change in price, I understood that the change in price was due to an additional charge for hauling away the tree debris that I believed was there. I did not know until today that there was no debris for you to remove. I did receive your email about the error in gallon size/price, but I assumed that the height was the same since your email didn't say anything about an error concerning the size of the tree. As I am not an expert or experienced in this area, I relied on what you told me. I'm not going to belabor the issue here as I believe that we both are trying to be honest and fair. I can't say that I am 100 percent satisfied, but I will pay the $200. Thank you for responding so promptly to my concerns and for taking the time to send me a detailed answer.and quot; Romeo promptly responded and stated: and quot;We will be available to pick up the check on November 20, 2010 between: 8:00am and 11:00am. I will call prior to driving out to the property.and quot; On November 25, they emailed again, stating that they had sent my tenant a stamped, pre-addressed envelope to send in the check, rather than picking it up. Then on November 27, I received the following email: and quot; You have had ample time to pay your outstanding bill of $200.00 to: Romeo Tree Service LLC. We will have to send this bill to collections by Dec. 10, 2010. and quot; I was astounded, to say the least, since they had chosen to complete the work early, had not stopped to pick up the check as agreed, mailed the envelope to my tenant over Thanksgiving week and then threatened me with collection when they hadn't received the check by the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend! When I called my tenant to ask about the check, she told me that the people that she had spoken with at the company had been awful to deal with and terribly rude. The check cleared on December 4, 2010, a whopping 16 days after the originally scheduled work date. Since then I have had another tree/landscaping company remove a mature Acacia tree, grind the stump, and prune other trees for a total of $200. The tree that Romeo planted died a quick death and was later replaced with a 5 foot Mesquite that cost $50 -- it's still alive. I think Romeo overcharged me because I was an absent landlord (I also asked for an estimate on an irrigation repair that first came in at $100 - 175 and was then raised to $270-300, which was later completed by someone else for $65). And the military discount???? Never saw it. I cannot and will not recommend this company to anyone in good conscience.

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.
Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:
Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose.
Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage.
In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes.
Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.
Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.
The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.
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.
