"Juan and his team did an excellent job on our landscaping. He was able to helped me figure out my restainig wall design (he provided me several options to choose from), removed all the old landscaping (bushes and plants), trimmed one of our trees, put in the new retaining wall and added a few low maintenance plants (which is what I requested) and added some volcanic rock (for low maintenance). We are extremely happy with the end result. It was worth every penny."

"They have been wonderful to work with and their work is FANTASTIC. We had a fence taken down, mulch and weeding, lawn mowing, dirt fill and seeding and a large amount of foliage taken down. It was all done very quickly and our backyard looks fantastic."

"They arrived on time. Went right to work and did a very professional job. My backyard looks amazing. Only problem was -- I did not know until.after they left -they nicked the cable line and I lost cable and internet. Spectrum found the problem after two hours of investigating. . I would still highly recommend Emerald for sll.yard work."

"Awesome, awesome, awesome! Rob and his team(Brian and Trevor) completed my bathroom makeover in a timely manner. I feared starting a construction project, but they made it a smooth process. The design was impeccable and extremely cost efficient for all that was done. It meant so much to me to see the joy on my husband and daughter’s faces. You cannot go wrong with this company."

"Feliks recently completed a deck project in which he replaced all the deck boards, painted the railing, and repaired/replaced some rotten wood. The quality of his craftsmanship and professionalism were excellent. He is exceptionally hard working and doesn't overlook the small details. He really went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the finished product, and he was thorough in cleaning the site before he left. We definitely plan on hiring him again for other projects. We give him our highest recommendation!"

Backyard Design FAQs

Depending on the areas that a lawn care company specializes in, most companies offer a core set of services that usually include:

  • Mowing

  • Mulch

  • Lawn aeration

  • Tree trimming and pruning

  • Pest control 

  • Landscaping

  • Leaf removal

  • Spring and fall cleanup

  • Shrub trimming and pruning

Check with local lawn care companies to confirm that they offer the services you’re looking for.

The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125, ranging between $50 and $200 per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.

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.

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
