[Request service](https://www.a5homeservices.com/request-service?service=landscaping) ## What should I budget for landscaping? HomeGuide lists $50–$100 per hour for a two-person landscaping crew nationally. Plants, mulch, delivery and hauling need their own allowance; first confirm whether your quote is per worker, per crew or for the whole project. These are planning references, not New Jersey averages or A5 quotes. ## Planning ranges and what they cover Published planning references in US dollars. Your professional prices your actual job; these are not A5 offers. * National reference ### Landscaping $50–$100 per hour for a two-person crew Labor per hour for a two-person crew. Plants, materials, delivery and hauling require confirmation. [HomeGuide: landscaping pricing reference (editorial date 2026-02-04)](https://homeguide.com/costs/landscaping-costs) * National reference ### Landscaper labor $50–$100 per hour Per hour in Angi’s guide; crew size is not specified in that range. Materials and major design work are separate considerations. [Angi: landscaping pricing reference (accessed October 11, 2026)](https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm) ## How to use these figures HomeGuide explicitly describes a two-person crew, while Angi’s hourly figure does not specify crew size. Similar-looking numbers therefore do not establish the same price. Get the crew size, hours and materials in writing. ## What changes your estimate * The area to be cleared, planted or refreshed and the condition it is in now. * Plant sizes, mulch quantities, soil and delivery. * Slopes, narrow gates, machine access and whether waste stays on site or is hauled away. ## Compare the work, not just the total * ### Maintenance or installation Separate a cleanup visit from new planting, grading or ongoing lawn care. Identify exactly which beds and borders are included. * ### Material quantities Ask for plant sizes and counts, mulch depth or quantity, and who selects substitutions when a plant is unavailable. * ### Aftercare and removal Confirm watering responsibilities, debris removal and any plant replacement terms rather than assuming they are included. ## Get a more useful estimate Send photos of the whole space, rough measurements and a short list of what you want to keep or remove. Mention standing water and gate width if equipment access could matter. ## Questions **Why is a yard cleanup different from regular maintenance?** A cleanup may include accumulated debris, overgrowth and disposal. Ask for a list of included tasks and compare that with the scope and frequency of recurring visits. **Does landscaping include hauling away debris?** Only if removal and disposal are included in the quote. Ask whether branches, leaves, old mulch and other waste will be taken away or left on your property, and whether disposal has a separate charge. ## Keep planning * [Home service estimates: your questions answered](https://www.a5homeservices.com/cost-guides/home-service-estimates-faq) * [Explore landscaping projects](https://www.a5homeservices.com/services/landscaping) ## Sources and review Reviewed by A5 on October 11, 2026 using published national pricing references.
