Residential Landscaping in Western New York

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Landscaping
How much does residential landscaping cost?
It depends on scope. A bed cleanup with fresh mulch is a few hundred dollars. A full back yard with a patio, planting, and lighting runs into five figures. We price the specific job after seeing the property, and the written estimate holds unless you change what you want.
How far ahead should I book?
Spring fills up quickly, so from March onward we ask for a few weeks of notice on planting and builds. Fall is usually easier to schedule. Storm damage and anything unsafe moves up the list.
What is included with residential landscaping?
Whatever the estimate lists, and nothing gets added without asking you first. A typical job covers clearing the area, prepping soil or base, installing the plants or materials, and cleaning up afterwards. Design drawings, permits, and disposal are priced separately so you can see what you are paying for.
Do you work on rental and second properties?
Yes. We work for plenty of owners who are not on site, which usually means photos before and after and a card on file. What we need is clear access and one person who can approve decisions.
Can I combine this with other landscaping or seasonal work?
That is usually the cheaper way to do it. Bringing equipment out once for planting, tree work, and a patio beats paying for three separate mobilizations. Snow plowing runs on the same account through winter.
How do I request an estimate?
Call (716) 466-5651 or use the estimate form. Tell us the address, what you are thinking about, and roughly when. Photos help, especially for anything involving grade or drainage.
