We are a full landscaping and construction company. Family owned and operated company that’s been doing this for fifteen years. We build small retaining walls, decks/porches, fences, create beautiful landscaping for your home or business front, land grading, and erosion control. We are available throughout the Middle Tennessee area and would love to be your landscaping and lawn care company.

"I contacted Angie to get resources to do what ever was required to produce a nice looking lawn. We knew that the ground was veryhard and needed to be turned over or evn it may have nned a bit more topsoil before fertilizing and seeding for grass. After receiving Noble Landscaping as a recommended service provider from Angie, I contacted Ken Noble and told him the situation of the lawn. He said that using sod and putting in fresh topsoil over the whole was not necessary. If it needed topsoil, he would provide it. Instead of considering sod before he even looked at the yard he said he would be there tomorrow to start and complete the first stepof the seeding, fertilizing, and soil conditioning. The next day it was pooring down rain and I texted him to see if he was still planning on providing the services. We tried callig him but his voicemail was full and would not accept messages. He responded and said they were five minutes away. Because it was raining he said it wouldn't be necessary to thatch the yard at that time. He fertilized and seeded.during the rain. This all happened on Wednesday. By Saturday the heavy rain and strong wings brew the straw away and washed away the seed into clumps in the yard. We spoke with friends who we found out later did this professionally and they said that Noble lanscaping should have looked at our yard first befor quoting a price and disregarding any other lawn service that we had suggested. We repeatedly called him and said that we weren't satisfied. I told him that I had planted our whole yard at our previous home and you needed to turn the soil over when it was in that condition. Ken Noble contually acted like I didn't knpw what I was talking about and then immediately he said "I've been doing this since 2008 and I kinda know what I'm doing. He never gave us any written instructions on how to water the yard which led to him constanly criticizing us in our watering techniques. After following exact instructions and not seeing any noticable improvement I talked him into returning on May 4th to rethatch fertilize and reseed. When he saw the yard he started accusing us of moving the straw that had been blow away earlier. He then started comparing our yard to his at home and said sometimes it just takes longer. He also had us send him pictures after that. After following his directions on watering and sending him 10 pictues ,he came back and said, "Stop watering and see what it does." Since then we have had clumps of crabb grass and many spots where the new grass seed never took. We sent him pictures and he immediatly accused us of refusing him to do a weed treatment and that is why we are having weeds. That could not have been further from the truth. He never recommeded a weed treatment. Here is exactly his text: "Can you send me pictures? It could take up to two months to see any results.The problem is you guys decided not to take care of the weed problem first, I recommended that and you did not want to do that so it will slow down the growth process of your grass seed because you have a weed problem" After that I told him we are completly dissatisfied and want a refund. He refused to consider a refund. I told him that I know he has unwisely spent time and material and we have considered that and are requesting a refund of 50% or $750.00. I don't even know what he is talking about saying we refused anything. The only thing I am refusing is to do business again with him. Ken Noble is an overconfident person that means well but does not take advice from customers when he refers to all of his experience. Before Noble Landscaping even came to our house I was so excited that Angie only recommended one service provider and I went next door and told our new neighbors about your recommendation of Noble Landscaping. My new neighbor said if you trust Angie , so so will we. I gave them Ken Noble's phone number and they had him do the same service in their lawn. They are so mad because they took my word from Angie and trusted me. They never want to see Ken Noble again. My neighbor never told me if they also requested a refund. All I know is that they won't take my advice again."

"Martin landscaping completed the job in both a timely and sufficient manner. They brought in top soil and leveled out a section of yard that was prone to flooding and also created a berm to prevent excess water entering my yard. They also seeded and strawed area. I would hire them again for future projects."

"It went great. Kevin is an 'owner operator' so I don't have to deal with a guy disconnected from the work coming it to check in once in a blue moon. He does stuff the right way. He communicates amazingly, we had some small 'additions' to the project that were fairly priced and didn't go much beyond the original quote (few hundred bucks on a 10k+ job). Also, these additions were caused by poor workmanship of my hardscapes company I had earlier, Kevin's team rebuilt part of their wall, re-supported the coping in one corner, and added a low retaining wall to the edge of the patio to keep the pavers from falling out into the yard (yes, previous company just had pavers end to grass with a plastic mulch bed edge holding in the patio). I was referred to Kevin through a neighbor and he has also completed a fairly large job at my neighbors house since (similar work to mine)."

Green Scene Irrigation and landscaping is a local family owned and operated business. Our family began by serving Franklin, TN and surrounding areas in 1995. Starting with a single push mower and our drive to deliver beautiful and professional landscaping services throughout Williamson County we have grown to serve the entire Nashville metropolitan area. Our exceptional reputation for quality and timely service has helped us earn the loyalty of our customers. We deliver beautiful results by utilizing the latest materials and techniques to both residential and commercial properties. At Green Scene we characterize ourselves by providing top quality, extraordinarily creative, and visually striking projects. Our company takes into consideration your ideas, your problems, and also your budget to put together a unique project solution. Together we will create a project that you will enjoy for years to come.

"Green Scene installed a paver patio in January of 2022. Although the patio itself does look good, I could not recommend them for other projects. The Good: The basic patio installation was done quickly and the patio itself does look good. The Bad: Terrible communication from start to finish with the office. After we selected them for the project entirely because they were available before anyone else, I had to debate with them to get them to follow through on the promised start date (eventually they did start and finish the patio itself within the promised timeline). As soon as they got paid, they became even slower to respond and never came back to finish some of simple final touches to work that had been promised (burying a water runoff drain they installed, adding dirt and sod around the patio where paver edging is 4 inches above the ground). They also did not move irrigation lines as promised and multiple sprinkler zones now need to be repaired. After 3+ months of following up to get them to complete these finishing touches, I have given up."

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.

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.
