Custom Painting, Inc. is one of the best service providers with which we've ever worked. They are a family-owned / run / staffed company, and it is a welcomed change from the typical Florida service provider. It was as if some friends were in our home, and they just happened to be painting...

I contacted this company via email and we scheduled an appointment to look at some landscaping problems and discuss possible solutions. We agreed on a day and time and they just never showed up! Obviously, I would never refer this company to anyone, ever!

Did it all in two days. Removers and installers were friendly and kept us informed step-by-step. Tidied up when they were done. Our two cats were entertained as they watched the process through the windows. The new patio is the talk of the neighborhood. Aaron Village is a townhouse...

They were referred to us by our neighbor who works in landscaping and they were very good. They actually had the best price and they were very good. We would probably use them in a heartbeat again. The owners name is Rob Whitacre. We live in a Sterling Virginia which is a neighborhood...

I just switched over our lawn moving company to Ecolawn. I had a gentleman come out from Ecolawn to look over the property; how much grass they have to mow and it round up costing me less now than it was with the old company and they do a better job too. I'm very happy with them. They come...

"Chris and his team installed beautiful turf around our gazebo by the pool. Not only does it look great and is maintenance free, it’s like walking on a soft carpet. The dogs love it too! Chris was quick to come out in response to my request and quickly got our turf ordered and squeezed us in to get the job done before the pool is opened. The area on one side was tight so they did it all by hand rather than drive the skid loader over the concrete. They could not have been more accommodating, also working with us on raising an in ground electrical box. Excellent work done by the entire team. I would highly recommend!!"

FAQs for landscaping projects in State College, PA
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.
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
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.
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.
