Anyone here ever hire anyone to install flower beds/shrubs at their home? I just need the front of my home done. I don't need any watering systems, just to look nice. How much I'm looking at spending??

Thanks!

Good luck brotha. I called around for months to get someone to show up or even return a call. Either they are so busy that they can't make the time for a normal residential job or they just don't give a shite. Finally got someone that is coming out tomorrow to redo mine. $2500.

All depends on how big the beds will be and if you actually want it done right. Most landscapers will just put plants in the ground and cover with pine straw. The proper way to do it is too bring in some good top soil and build the beds up. This looks way better, your plants will benefit from the quality top soil, and it ensures your beds drain better.

Had mine done in Lafayette this year. Cost was $1200. 2 young guys going to UL for horticulture and did a good job in 1 solid day of work.

I paid $1500 to have all the old shite ripped out, beds built up and quite a few flowers/plants installed.

He basically doubled the price of the materials and added $500 or so in labor
