We discussed what services he offered and he listened to what we had in mind of the job to be done. He gave me a day and time he would meet with us and he followed through with that appointment as well of showing up exactly when he said he would to complete the job! Jon, with one assistant, worked nearly 8 hours to the minute. We could not be more pleased! The job consisted of laying down landscaping paper, installing plants, adding individual drip lines, adding drain spouts to our guttering away from our new plants, installing two additional plants in another area of our yard, edging and cleaning our yard.

Plant Watering reviews from real Angi homeowners in Columbia, SC
Bill's thoroughness in clearing out the ivy and knowledge of all the plants and shrubs in our yard was fantastic. He communicated every step of the process in detail and answered all my questions (& he cheerfully and patiently answered all of my 5-year-old's questions, too.) I would...

They did not get roots out as requested and cut down a plant I did not want cut down. They also filled the bags too full after I asked them not to. He said he would come back and clean up after himself, but I have not heard from him. There is still debris in my yard.

Better than expectations, which were high. They used an 85' man bucket and an intrepid climber to get the trees down. They were very careful to move planters and a bird bath that might have gotten damaged. They cleaned up promptly, ground up and hauled away the small branches and carted away...

He and his coworker left the yard and roof looking very trim. I would not hesitate to call him again. In fact he did more than I requested. It would be advisable to discuss the scope of the work with him in detail beforehand, because he removed a couple of plants that I wanted to keep (but I...

FAQs for plant watering projects in Columbia, SC
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.
