"Miguel, the owner, showed up exactly at the scheduled time. My first impression upon meeting him was that he is a real pro who knows what he is doing. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my lawn sprinkler system, explained the problem to me in terms that I could easily understand, and with my consent, fixed the problem in record time. I'm impressed with his competence, delightful attitude, and honesty. I highly recommend him and his company."

"Inside Out has maintained my lawn for multiple years with exceptional care. Since they started, my lawn has never looked so good! The crew has taken on a number of other landscaping projects, and what ever they have taken on, the results have always exceeded my expectations.. I’ve referred them to friends, and my friends needs were also well taken care of. The business owner is likable, knowledable, and cares about his customers. I highly recommend InsideOut!"

"Emerald Green Lawn and Landscape, LLC Look no further! Emerald Green Lawn and Landscape, LLC is truly the best you will ever need! For years Iâ ve done my own landscape maintenance, everything from mulching, trimming all my Azaleas, Rhododendrons, trees etc. I just couldnâ t do it anymore. We hired Shane last fall to remove our leaves from our property. We loved the job his crew did so much we hired Shane a week ago for our landscape maintenance. Believe me, our landscape was in dire need. Everything was so overgrown. When I tried trimming all our bushes and trees, I just made a mess. We knew we made the right choice by going with Emerald Green. Their service is incredible. Their people are awesome. Shane is extremely friendly and professional. He answers all your questions, returns phone calls immediately and told us â weâ re here to do it right.â Shane and his crew are the best, EVER! They worked two straight days pulling weeds, raking all the old mulch off (a whole trailer filled to the top), added new mulch (50+ bags (3 cubic ft) of cypress mulch all around our landscape, trimmed 8 Azalea bushes, trimmed 3 overgrown Rhododendron bushes, trimmed our Weeping Cherry tree and our Magnolia tree, to perfection! They worked very conscientiously and very professionally - I have a large perennial garden and they carefully raked all the old mulch off with care and worked the new mulch into and all around the perennials as if it was theirs. It looks awesome! Overall, I canâ t say enough about the excellent experience we had with Emerald Green Landscape from beginning to end. My husband and I are extremely pleased with their work. When all was completed weâ ve gotten so many compliments, and couldnâ t be happier. Emerald Green Lawn and Landscape, LLC knew what they were doing and get an A++ from me! You wonâ t be sorry!!! It is a pleasure writing this review - we highly recommend Shane Magers and his wonderful crew. You ll never find any better! A special shout out to Ant and Dre for all their hard work to make our landscape beautiful!!! Kudos to the both of you!!! Peggy and Keith"

Garden Design FAQs

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.
