1. Search Online Directories & Platforms
Google Maps: Search “affordable landscaping near me” and check ratings/reviews.
Yelp or Angi (Angie’s List): Filter by budget-friendly options.
Thumbtack or TaskRabbit: Compare quotes from local landscapers.
Nextdoor: Ask neighbors for recommendations on affordable services.
2. Check Local Listings
Facebook Marketplace or local community groups often have freelancers offering lower rates.
Craigslist: Search under “Services > Skilled Trade” for landscapers.
3. Ask for Discounts or Packages
Some companies offer seasonal deals or discounts for first-time customers.
Opt for basic services like mowing, mulching, or pruning instead of full redesigns.
4. Consider Smaller Providers
Local, family-owned businesses or solo landscapers may have lower rates than large companies.
5. DIY + Partial Help
Hire a professional for complex tasks (e.g., irrigation, hardscaping) and handle simpler work yourself.
6. Low-Cost Alternatives
Community Colleges: Some offer landscaping services by students at reduced rates.
Nonprofits: Habitat for Humanity ReStore or local gardening clubs may provide resources.
