Dave B. says, "Choose Turfland!!! Working with Turfland and Alex was as good an experience with a vendor as you can get. I had no idea what it would take to hire a company and get the job done correctly. We wanted the turf installed in between large concrete pavers. But at the paver intersections we wanted to make them ready for custom LED pavers we had ordered (but were months away from delivery). I went to Yelp and posted that I was looking for a Turf Installer. Within hours I was overwhelmed with companies wanting my turf job. I had included photos of the job with my quote request, and several responses said $10/s ft installed. We did the math and figure It’s a $5600 job. 16 companies emailed me and said they wanted the job. I emailed 3 companies with good reviews that quoted the $10/ft.. Two of three showed up and immediately started telling me how complicated the job was. And the $10/ft job went up and up. The first quote came in at $7600. The second one came in and quoted the job at $6500 plus materials – and under materials they had $800 worth of nails listed (Over $10k total). At this point I replied to 14 more companies to give me a quote. 14 companies made appts and only 10 showed up. 10 came to the house spent time with me and took measurements and only 8 sent me estimates. Of the 8 estimates each company measured the rectangle area of the job differently – the quoted square footage was from 220 up to 800 sq feet – For an area that is 280.. One company that we liked and had sent one of the lower estimates had calculated the 220/ft for the regular area. I emailed the salesman and told him we wanted to hire him but with the range of size estimates for that area – did he want to double check his math, or come re-measure – so the there were no surprises. They never responded. Then there was Alex from Turfland. Alex showed up on time. Alex was not at the low end of the quotes but in the upper half. I asked Alex questions about his quote, and the size of the regular area – and he said he was confident in his measurement and there would be no changes. We had a few delays in us being able to let Alex start the job – but Alex called every few days to see how our progress was. Alex showed up on a Monday morning, and we walked through all the details of the contract to be done. I had some slight add ons to the job and Alex said no problem I’ll take care of that. My experience with contractor is that No problem for them is more money for me. But Alex made the adds to the contract and resent it to me while onsite and there were no add ons. He did convince me to expand the scope of the job and we added another 350/sq ft to the job (that he did not throw in). Alex, said his team would take maybe 2 days to complete the job. Alex’s time estimate was the only thing that wasn’t as stated. Alex’s crew was here for 6 full long days to complete our job. During the week they were here Alex stopped by 1 to 4x a day to stay on top of the job. If I emailed him with a question or worry about the work being done… He responded quickly and then his team responded immediately. The job turned out awesome. My wife and I were thrilled with the final outcome. Two days after the job was completed we turned on the sprinklers for the first time. Alex’s team had rerouted and added a few sprinkler lines for our trees and flowerbeds. When we turned on the sprinklers a pipe underground, under the installed turf, blew and spewed mud all across the neighbors yard. I texted a photo to Alex. A few hours later workers appeared and took care of everything. We also had 6 beautiful glass stepping stones we wanted incorporated into the yard. Each glass stone weighs over 400lbs. The glass tiles cost more than $9k per tile to replace. When the team was ready to move and install the glass stones – Alex was at the site all afternoon double checking their measurements, and ensuring the glass was protected. A month after the install a day worker slammed a glass tile and it shattered. I texted Alex the picture of the busted tile (I have spares). He sent his crew over that afternoon and they replaced the tile – for no charge. It was a pleasure working with Turfland and Alex. Owning multiple apartment buildings and remodeling our home for the last several years – There are not many companies that do a great job, give great service, and don’t keep readjusting the bill every time you blink. If you are going to spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for a turf installation – then reading a long review like this tells you that this home owner not only appreciates the great job Turfland did but truly appreciated the way the company (and Alex) conducted business. Turfland is the kind of company you want to do business with."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does landscaping cost per square foot?

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.

Is hiring a landscaper worth it?

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.

How much does landscaping cost?

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.

Where can you buy landscaping rocks?

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.

What is landscaping?

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.

How much does landscaping improve home value?

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. 

What is landscape design?

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.

What does a landscape contractor do?

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.

What should you look for when hiring a landscaper?

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.

How do you find a good landscape architect?

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.
