How We Calculate Landscaping Prices
Our price estimates combine three inputs:
- BLS Occupational Employment & Wage Statistics: Government labor data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides median hourly wages for landscaping professionals in your metro area.
- National Baseline: Starting ranges are our own editorial estimates of typical national project costs, not a survey of prices actually charged, and are not sourced from HomeAdvisor, Angi, Thumbtack or any contractor.
- Cost of Living Adjustment: We scale the national baseline by your city's cost-of-living index, so local figures are estimates, not observed prices.
