How much does landscaping cost in Sacramento?

The cost of landscaping in the Sacramento area varies dramatically based on project scope. A basic yard cleanup or lawn aeration service might cost a few hundred dollars. A front yard landscaping refresh with new mulching and plants could be a few thousand. A comprehensive backyard remodel involving an outdoor kitchen, extensive hardscaping, and landscape lighting can easily run into the tens of thousands. Key factors include the size of the property, the quality of materials chosen, and the complexity of the design and installation.

What are common landscaping mistakes to avoid?

The most common mistake is hiring the wrong type of professional for the job. Beyond that, poor plant selection is a major issue. Choosing plants that aren’t suited for our hot, dry summers leads to failure and wasted money. This was starkly illustrated in a 22-year study of the ‘Sacramento Shade’ program, which found that tree survivorship was a mere 42.4%, far below goals, underscoring how crucial professional selection and long-term planning are. Other frequent errors include ignoring property drainage—a critical issue during our winter rains—and failing to secure a detailed, written contract with a licensed professional.

What is the wealthiest suburb of Sacramento?

While Sacramento has many stunning communities, areas such as Granite Bay, El Dorado Hills, and parts of Folsom and Rocklin are often associated with larger properties that necessitate comprehensive landscape architecture and high-end outdoor living space development. However, expertly planned landscape design and quality craftsmanship can significantly enhance property value and enjoyment in any neighborhood, from Citrus Heights to the historic streets of the city proper.

How often should I use a landscaper?

This depends on your needs. A landscape contractor is typically hired for a one-time project, like a landscape renovation or new installation. For the ongoing health and beauty of your lawns and gardens, you would engage a company for recurring landscape maintenance. These services can include a regular lawn mowing service, fertilization services, shrub and hedge trimming, and sprinkler system repair to protect your initial investment.

For the past seven years, we had an ugly, empty, unused pool taking up space in our backyard — it had become a major eyesore, and we couldn’t wait to finally reclaim that space and create something beautiful. Thanks to Alex and CuttingEdge Landscape & Tree Inc., that dream is finally becoming a reality, and we are so incredibly grateful! From the very first conversation, Alex made the entire process feel easy, exciting, and completely stress-free — we truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to trust...

For the past seven years, we had an ugly, empty, unused pool taking up space in our backyard — it had become a major eyesore, and we couldn’t wait to finally reclaim that space and create something beautiful. Thanks to Alex and CuttingEdge Landscape & Tree Inc., that dream is finally becoming a reality, and we are so incredibly grateful! From the very first conversation, Alex made the entire process feel easy, exciting, and completely stress-free — we truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to trust with such an important project. The quality of work and care that Cutting Edge put into our project truly blew us away. They handled every detail — from permits to demolition, to filling, compacting, leveling, grading, and clean-up — with professionalism, care, and obvious pride in their work. Their communication was also outstanding; they checked in daily, always letting us know their schedule, and made sure we felt informed and supported at every step. They worked tirelessly, moved quickly after our first deposit, and their pricing was extremely fair — especially for the quality and service they delivered. We feel so lucky to have met Alex and hired him and his company for our project. They completely exceeded our expectations, and we are so thankful for everything they did for us. Without a doubt, they’ll be our first call for any landscaping needs in the future. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Super pleased yet again! I used Alex of Cuttingedge Landscape & Tree last year to cut a tree down, and we decided to do a full gut job in our front yard, and he was the guy to do it. There was a lot of work to be done, and he finished the job so fast and quoted us a great price, and the lawn turned out great! He had to remove 4 trees, completely level our ground. Install new irrigation system, lay out new cement, install grass, plants. The whole 9 yards! I was excited when it was all finished like ...

I have been using this company for almost 2 years now and I have never been disappointed. I have had them come out and do a tree removal of my old plum tree that was starting to lean, they do my maintenance, and they even came out for an emergency sprinkler fix I needed. I highly recommend Cuttingedge Landscape & Tree Services to anyone looking to get affordable quality service.

Alex worked us into their very busy schedule to trim our trees. Cuttingedge Landscape & Tree showed up on time, set up and did a great job! Our trees were very overgrown and they trimmed them for structure and aesthetics. It poured down rain while they were working, but they continued. The clean up was great, and they were professional and courtes. Also, their quote was fair and reasonable.
