Belle C. says, "We had such an amazing experience working with Sunny. We wanted to have concrete poured into our side yard. Before we hired him, he walked us through the process very thoroughly. He even explained the legal portions of working with a contractor so we know how to spot legitimate companies. The entire process from demolition to the last touches went so smoothly, and the final product looks amazing. Beyond just pouring concrete, Sunny also has vision. With our project, he considered how the final product would look and mentioned design ideas to create an inviting atmosphere. He definitely prides himself in his work and we highly recommend working with him and his company."See more

Chris Cape says, "Leon Design & Build delivers exceptional work! From the beginning, communication with Shimon was clear and our quote was reasonable. The team adhered to the schedule and the final outcome looks fantastic! We encountered some unexpected modifications midway through, but Shimon made some insightful recommendations and we were very happy with the final product! The scope of our project grew significantly, but even with this added load, the crew was still able to meet our completion deadline. The best part was working with Shimon. He always placed our interest first. He addressed any concern we and was able to meet our expectations.I highly recommend Shimon and Leon Design & Build."See more

Cindy Simpson says, "After interviewing many landscape design companies we chose Prime Landscape and Construction to re-do our front and backyards. The project included a new paver driveway, new patio cover, turf, brick walkways and borders, river rock, irrigation, lighting and more. We are so glad we chose Prime! Mario, Fausto, Temo and their crew did an exceptional job! They had a fair price and a strong work ethic. They worked every day to keep our project on schedule and each step of the project was done with care and expertise, even the worksite was kept as clean as possible. They were available when we had concerns and listened to our ideas. If you are in need of any landscaping/construction we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Prime Landscape and Construction!

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

The cost of landscaping can vary widely based on the type of plants you wish to have, the amount of grading required, the condition of the land before work begins, and other factors. Adding in designer or high-end landscaping, as well as hardscaping such as sidewalks, walls, or patios will add to the cost. To find out how much your landscaping will cost, contact landscapers near you.

A landscaper is worth it if you don't want to invest a significant amount of time and effort into planting, trimming, raking, weeding and performing other operations on your garden or yard. Hiring a landscaper to perform regular maintenance in your yards and complete bigger projects is valuable if you’re looking to sell your house. A professional landscaper can make your house more appealing to potential buyers. 

Some landscapers may perform maintenance duties — remove leaves, mow lawns, trim trees and shrubs, etc. —  but they can also help you bring bigger projects to life. This may include adding a misting system, an outdoor fireplace, water features, artificial turf, a patio and much more.

Start contacting landscapers near you to get free estimates and start planning your project today.

The price of landscaping varies widely due to the range of choices that can be made, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $320 and $20,000 for your landscaping work. The national average cost for a landscaping project is $2,600. 

Factors like the choice of plants, the amount and type of hardscaping, the square footage of your landscaped area, and the region you live in will have a significant effect on your landscaping cost.

You can shop for landscaping rocks from a variety of different sources. The first option is large chain retail stores specializing in home improvement and gardening. Often, landscaping rocks like slate and other slabs arrive on pallets and are sold in bulk, giving you a great deal. Your local landscaping store also carries rocks, and you may even have a stone or quarry seller nearby who can sell you the rocks you need. When in doubt, contact landscaping companies near you to see if they have rocks you can purchase.

Landscaping is the intentional placement and maintenance of living plants on an area of land or in your yard. This can include trees, lawn, flowers, bushes and other plant life and often incorporates mulch and other organic matter. The primary purpose of landscaping is to provide beauty to the house or building it surrounds. 

Many landscaping companies also offer design, architecture and construction services. For example, they can help you design a yard that incorporates a patio, deck, pool, fire pit, lighting, walkways, retaining walls and more.

Landscaping your property can boost the value of your home between 5% and 15%, according to Better Homes & Gardens. They specify that this is the amount of value added when you upgrade the condition of your landscaping from poor to good, though these terms are subjective. 

Landscaping design refers to the art of analyzing an existing landscape, planning how to transform it through flora and fauna design and working with a client to ensure goals are met. Landscape designers may completely transform an outdoor space or make minor modifications to enhance it. They may also call for grading and the construction of hardscaping surfaces like walkways or patios to add to the enjoyment of the space.
