At first glance, landscaping may seem simple enough to DIY. This may be true for minor touches, however, typically landscaping is a field that combines an artistic approach with a capability to build something remarkable. For that, you are at a better advantage to hire professional landscape contractors who come with extensive experience in planning outdoor spaces and the ability to make it happen.
Professionalism is an important aspect of landscaping as no outdoor project is the same therefore the ability and willingness of contractors to work to bring your vision to life makes all the difference. In short – if you want to have a quality outdoor experience designed right, it’s better to hire professional landscapers to do the job.
Generally, every company charges different prices due to many factors such as the costs of labor, materials, location, scale and complexity of the project. On average, small landscaping projects can range from $1,000 to $2,500 while larger landscaping projects can range from $5,000 to $20,000.
The best way to know an approximate landscape price for your project is to contact landscaping companies directly and ask for an onsite estimate. Here at Top Home Outdoors, all our quotes are free of charge and non-obligatory so feel free to contact us about your project.
Hardscaping typically refers to a physical structure in an outdoor area that is made without the use of plant life. An example of hardscape architecture can be a patio or a gazebo. Hardscaping contractors typically are not involved in the planning process and are hired to directly build/install a structure.
Some contractors do offer planning and design services, in this case, they are usually known as landscape architects who also do hardscaping. For example, Top Home Outdoor professionals are experts at designing and building any hardscaping projects ranging from fire pits and driveways to unique decks, retaining walls and pergolas.
Professional landscapers and hardscapers are experts at analyzing, planning and building the desired structures. They can visit your property and use their experience and advanced tools to conduct proper site analysis and develop a plan on how to better utilize your outdoor space. Ultimately, you get a premium outdoor space that is difficult to achieve through DIY.
One of the other main values of professionally done hardscape services is the increased value of your property. Having a properly designed and built area not only allows you to make the most of your outdoor space but also helps you feel peace of mind that everything that was designed and installed is built to last.
Although we do not currently provide financing alternatives, we do provide our clients with a customizable pay schedule to help them better manage their landscape and hardscaping expenses. Before the work starts, we need a deposit, and schedule payments after different phases.
After construction begins, the majority of our simple hardscape installations are finished in only one to two weeks. It may take two to three weeks to complete more labor-intensive and exact installations, such as outdoor kitchens, leveling, compacting, and huge hardscaping projects. Additionally, it may take up to one or two weeks to develop and finish adjustments that go beyond the project’s scope.
