Debra J. says, "I sent this project out to 3 companies on Thumbtack. One said the project wasn't a good fit for them, a 2nd one never responded at all, and the 3rd was Otilio with Str8 Green. WHY THIS PROJECT? We already overhauled the back yard once ourselves 7+ years ago. We needed to make it a better place for my partner's kids and my grandkids to play so I could keep an eye on them easier. However, they've long since outgrown the swingset, etc I put in for them at that time. Then 2 years ago, my partner and the kids finally convinced me we should adopt a dog, since I'd lost my mini-poodle to old age 7 yrs ago. They all wanted a bigger dog though - such as a German Shepherd or Husky. After much discussion about the increased responsibility and time it takes to care for a large dog of an active breed - we did adopt a Shepherd. Unfortunately, my yard wasn't strong enough for her and I very quickly lost most of the grass except the sides, and her claws were tearing up the indoor/outdoor carpet I'd put under the swingset. The last 2 years we've had a mud pit where the lawn once was. We tried covering all the mud with hay, cedar chips, etc to reduce the amount of mud that the dog was bringing in the house. Then I heard about recycled turf people can buy. My thought was that a turf strong enough to be used on a sports field, would also stand up to the abuse from our dog. GETTING ESTIMATES: Otilio took the time to actually come out and look at my project. When I told him my hope was to install turf from a turf recycler that I had found, he seemed a bit worried. He explained it's hard to give a warranty when installing something used, but I told him I did not expect him to warrant the product itself for that reason. The price difference was between new turf at $3 sf +/- .50¢, and this recycled turf at. 29¢ sf. He said he was going to go out to Clackamas and look at the recycled turf before Gering me an estimate. About a week later, he sent me the estimate, which was a fair price. He'd done his best to keep it down, because he knew my funds were limited. We planned to do some of the prep ourselves, so I gave him the go ahead and we set a start date for the project that was about 4 days out. HOW DID IT GO? The day it was to start, he called me shortly after his guys had come out to start the demo in the back yard. When he'd determined a way to haul the recycled turf to the back, since the rolls are 600 lbs, he was looking from the backyard toward the front. As a result, he didn't realize that a large shrub I had had a bent trunk. So while most of the plant wasn't in the way, the problem was that the roots were. We talked about all the options, such as taking the tree out and removing a section of fence to fit the dolly for the recycled rolls. Then we discussed using new turf after all, since the rolls are much lighter because the in-fill isn't in there yet. In the end, I decided to go with the new turf after all. THE RESULTS: The work was done a day earlier even than the promised day time frame. His crew was always respectful, they cleaned up everything when they'd finished. He took the time to also change the grade of the yard, to draw water away from the house. He knows his trade, and when I'm uncertain and ask his advice about something, he has the information I need. His rates are very fair. He showed up when he said he would. The work was done well and completed ahead of schedule. I've already told him I'll be bringing him back out soon to finish any of the late fall pruning and clean up that I am not able to get to. AM I SATISFIED? I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to Otilio and his crew! I think about it every day as I bring the dog in the house. We now only have to dry her feet instead of having to towel off her entire body to try and get most of the mud off of her. The yard looks clean and a couple of my neighbors have even said they're jealous, because the upkeep is much easier than with actual grass. Otilio and his crew came through for me, when no one else would even give me an estimate. I've since hired him again to prune back the same shrubs that originally got in the way of bringing in the recycled turf, and had him look at a poorly functioning drain issue. Again, his rates were very fair. SEE FOR YOURSELVES! I've attached before and after photos of my yard, so you can see what a difference it made. Fyi, the dirt area in the back of the 3rd "after" photo is like that because I plan to plant stuff there in the spring. I no longer start to tense up every time the backyard is mentioned. Huge thanks to Otilio and his crew for making this possible! 🙂"See more

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.

Landscape contractors work from outdoor architectural or design plans to build and install hardscaping or softscaping for the client, much as a general contractor uses architectural designs to build a house. Landscape contractors are experts in soil drainage, grading, hardscaping (installing concrete paths and retaining wall, building ponds, etc.), and planting. They have heavy equipment such as excavators and tractors to prepare the land as needed.

Some landscape contractors are also landscape architects or landscape designers. The titles can be compared with those in home construction: A building or landscape architect must earn a specialized architecture degree and pass an exam to have a license. A designer — whether an interior designer or a landscape designer — does not usually require a license to work. Landscape contractors are not required by law to work from plans designed by a landscape architect, so you may work directly with the landscape contractor to specify the work you’d like done. The national average cost for large-scale landscaping projects is $10,160. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the project scope, materials and design.

Landscaping can be costly — though it usually pays off in curb appeal and home resale value — so finding a landscaper who is worth the investment is important. When hiring a landscaper, look for proven success with the type of results you want. For example, if you know you want a drought-tolerant yard, research websites, reviews and portfolios that showcase beautiful drought-tolerant yards that the landscaper has installed. In addition to relevant experience, you’ll want to find a landscape contractor who has good client reviews. Good communication skills are another important quality in a landscape contractor, since everything from plant selection to hardscape installation needs to be discussed and agreed upon. A landscape contractor who is reliable, easy to understand and able to listen to what you want will help make the process seamless and enjoyable.

Hiring a landscape architect is an investment in your home. Landscaping can reduce water bills, improve your home resale value, add to your daily living experience and significantly boost curb appeal. A landscape architect will draw the designs for your new landscape; you’ll want to hire a landscape contractor to carry out the plans. Many companies provide design-build landscaping services, with a company architect creating plans for your vision and the landscape contractor executing the vision. With the proper academic background and licensing, a person can be both landscape architect and landscape contractor. Here are a few tips for finding a great landscape architect:

  • Research online portfolios and find several landscape architects whose work interests you.
  • Read online reviews of client experiences.
  • Research whether the landscape architects you are interested in are currently licensed and in good standing with the licensing board, and check whether any complaints have been issued against them. Each state will have their own searchable database. For example, you can search for California landscape architects via the state’s Department of Consumer Affairs.
  • Request bids from your selected landscape architects.
  • Hire the one you like the most, taking care to have a clearly written contract outlining scope of work.
