Frequently asked questions

Do landscapers need a license?

It varies by state. California, Oregon, and a handful of others require a state license for landscaping work over a dollar threshold. Many states require separate certifications for irrigation, pesticide application, and tree work.

How much does landscaping installation cost?

A full front-yard landscape redesign typically runs $5,000–$25,000 depending on size, hardscape, irrigation, and plant material. Annual maintenance contracts run $100–$300/month for an average lot.

Should I get a separate irrigation license check?

Yes. In states like Texas and Florida, irrigation requires its own license separate from general landscaping. Confirm the contractor or their subcontractor holds it before any sprinkler work.
