Lovevasia B. says, "Ruben Sinay – Ryder Care Landscaping Roseville, CA (916) 693-7599 With much enthusiasm, I write this letter to express my appreciation for Ryder Care Landscaping's competitive pricing, punctual service, and professional landscaping on June 26, 2025, and June 28, 2025. The house was built in 2006, and the structure and foundation are great. I wanted an upgrade, and I required advice and a landscaper to improve the appearance of the house and yard. On June 20, 2025, Mr. Ruben Sinay came to my house and provided me with a guide listing natural materials: sand, cedar, pebbles, chips, bark, granite, cobbles, crushed rock, and solid rock, ranging in price from $68.00 per yard to $182.00 per yard. He also brought over nine samples of rocks. He maintained a professional attitude as he provided suggestions to improve the backyard's appearance. Mr. Ruben Sinay and his team member, Mr. Juan Carlos Lopez, did the following to improve the appearance of my backyard and front yards: A) Removed the tattered and torn fabric ground covering B) Removed the discolored mulch C) Placed and secured professional-grade spun-bound fabric (weed killer) on the ground D) Planted 2- Red Tip Photinia and 1- palm tree E) Planted 8 Lantana flowers F) Laid down River Rocks ¼ x ¾ on both sides of the house G) Laid down Lodi brown rocks ¾ at the back and front of the house H) Placed bark around the 3 palm trees in the back I) Placed bark around the 5 palm trees in the front yard This was a great investment in my property, and I highly recommend Ruben Sinay Ryder Care Landscaping to anyone requiring professional landscaping. I thank you again for the excellent job and the pleasant experience. Will use “THUMBTACK” for other professional services I am impressed with the dependable and high-quality work of Ryder Care Landscaping. Therefore, I have hired Ryder Care Landscaping to provide a Yucon acid stain to the backyard patio concrete and a slip-resistant sealant to the backyard patio concrete in August 2025. Sincerely, Lovevasia Bey"See more

How often should a gardener come?

How often your gardener should come depends on what you’re looking for and your budget. Typically, homeowners prefer a gardener to come once per week, several times a month or once per month. This may include services like tidying up the garden or trimming and tidying hedges. Some people hire these tasks out once per year. For more regular services like mowing the lawn, weeding and trimming, you could hire someone to come every week or every other week. If you do some of the work yourself, you can have them come out less frequently.

How much does it cost to landscape your front yard?

Prices for landscaping your front yard can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the scale of your front yard project. Your landscaping price will reflect how much change you implement, how much labor is required, and the cost of materials.

Landscaping is typically made up of softscaping and hardscaping. Softscaping refers to selecting trees, bushes, flowers and plants to achieve a desired aesthetic and to meet goals such as having a drought-tolerant yard. Hardscaping refers to moving earth, installing structures, and putting in decorative stonework, sidewalks or lighting. For softscaping, you may want to hire a landscape designer to consult on your plants and layout, and then do the digging and planting yourself or hire a gardner to handle the heavy lifting. A landscape designer’s hourly rate may range from $50 to $150 or more. If you want a turnkey approach, meaning someone who works with you to create the vision and then executes all the work, landscaping pricing will typically come down to a cost per square foot rather than an hourly rate. It’s a solid investment: Great landscaping can add up to 28 percent value to your home.

How much does it cost to have landscaping done?

Professional landscaping can help reinvent your outdoor space, boost your curb appeal and get a major return on investment with. Landscaping can encompass anything from adding new plants, trees and shrubs, to leveling the ground and laying sod for a lawn, to building in hardscaping such as sidewalks, water features or retaining walls. The national average landscaping price is $10,160. Landscaping prices can be far lower (with hourly rates ranging from $50 to $150) if you’re only seeking professional help with softscaping or seeking consultation on landscape design. Softscaping means adding or changing horticultural elements, such as planting a garden or adding a hedge. Hardscaping is where costs can really start to rise. Hardscaping requires labor and heavy equipment to excavate the earth; you may need to pour concrete, or you may need a pro who can transport and place gravel and other inorganic elements. Your total landscaping cost will vary based on the amount of work you want done, how much labor is required, and the cost of the materials you are using. A good rule of thumb for a major landscaping project, according to the American Society of Landscape Architects, is to budget 5 percent to 10 percent of the value of your home.
