When I first called them I spoke to Travis Blankenship (the owner). I explained that we wanted a hole dug and a tree moved into the hole. It seemed simple enough, right? Travis was very attentive and courteous. He asked specific questions so he could understand what we wanted. He told me he would check his schedule and call me back on Wednesday, and he did! On the agreed day, Travis and Jay (his co-worker) arrived on time. They were professional and friendly. I imagine they were expecting an easy job...however, it was NOT. Come to find out the tree we wanted to plant weighed about 500 pounds and the area we wanted it placed was hard clay dirt filled with dead tree roots and thick shale. Even so, Travis and Jay started digging to make a hole in a very stubborn area of ground. It was HARD work. When it was time to move the tree...whew. It was our treasured potted Japanese Maple, 30 years old and 500 pounds. They were so careful with the tree taking extra care not to damage a single branch. It was tricky and slow. One thing that really impressed me was Travis and Jay worked diligently throughout the day, making good use of their time. (Often rare with contractors). During the course of the day their attitude remained upbeat and positive. When the tree was finally placed it was perfect! They had done a fantastic job! Before leaving they cleaned up everything nicely. Travis and Jay were true professionals and we were very happy to find them through Angie's List. I encourage everyone... if you need work done use Affordable Labor & Contracting. You will not be disappointed. AAAAA++++++.

They used digital photography through the sewer line and came in half of what I had been quoted by someone else who did not seem to be able to give me a real quote because they told me they did not know how much the job would take. Ostrom came in exactly where they quoted and it was a big, huge, horrible expense. They made every part of it less painful. They did it perfectly. What I had been told by another person was that it was going to be a horrible mess. If you can imagine having that as an unexpected expense, they made it better in every other way -- in their workmanship, professionalism and kindness. They were very kind to me. I really can't say enough about them. I did have a very great experience with them. It was a real shock to have to come up with an unexpected expense like that. They did everything they could to make it easier from every aspect. I had to get a port-a-potty sent here just in case they ran into something, but they did it in one day. They planted the grass; I had to water it of course. Even though most sewer lines like that will sink in some places they came back at no additional charge to fill in the sinking and replanted more grass at no charge. They said if it happened any more to give them a call. They were extremely responsive to my calls and the workmen were tidy.

Paul and his son were great! I had them install a planting area and pond in my backyard. It turned out amazing! They listened to what I wanted for the area and then used their creative vision to make it even better than I imagined. They were very affordable as well. They did such a good job...

Ram Jack was prompt and extremely professional. They had to dig up several plants (including a fairly tall crepe myrtle) and tear out the decorative brick "wall" holding the raised bed in place. Before they left, they replanted the shrubs and tree, rebuilt the brick wall, reseeded the grass...

We needed a complete new roof due to some really bad leaks. We got three estimates, & Doug Hagy Roofing was the lowest by A LOT! He came highly recommended by my father-in-law & had done some excellent repair work around our chimney a few years back. We got two other estimates anyway, and...

FAQs for plant watering projects in Poages Mill, VA
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.
