Best 5 Landscaping Companies in Henderson, NV

DIY Options vs. Professional Services

While many homeowners have basic lawn maintenance skills, more specialized knowledge is required for landscaping. Full-scale landscaping requires heavy equipment and intense labor. More complex elements, such as fire pits or irrigation systems, need construction and machinery experience as well.

You can DIY some landscaping projects, such as adding flower beds or removing overgrown plants. However, if you lack the needed lawn expertise or if you want to do a larger yard overhaul, we recommend hiring a landscaping contractor.

Hiring a landscape architect or designer helps prevent you from making expensive mistakes. Professionals have the knowledge and skills to elevate your outdoor living space, recommend cost-effective upgrades, and help develop a long-term maintenance plan.

Factors To Consider When Choosing an Henderson Landscaping Company

Choosing the right landscaper involves finding one with enough experience that also fits your service needs and budget. Keep the following considerations in mind when hiring a landscaping contractor.

Services Offered

You should know what services you need before choosing a company. Some companies provide lawn care services that focus on yard health and maintenance. These services can include mowing, mulching, fertilizing, controlling weeds, and pruning. Many also offer pest control and tree removal services.

You should hire a full-service landscaper if you're revamping your entire yard or adding new elements, such as a fire pit. These providers specialize in outdoor designs and upgrades, such as landscaping rock projects, gardening, and adding hardscapes. They can also help install retaining walls, sprinkler or irrigation systems, fire pits, and other architectural elements, and some also provide lawn maintenance services.

Licensing and Experience

Landscapers often have advanced training and certification in areas such as horticulture, lawn maintenance, and outdoor design. A company should hold the appropriate licensure from the Nevada State Contractors Board. It may also have the following certified staff members:

• Certified fertilization or pesticide specialists
• Licensed arborists
• Licensed horticulture specialists
• Licensed or certified landscaping designers or architects

It may also hold certifications from professional organizations, including the Professional Landcare Network and the National Association of Landscape Professionals. These certifications aren't mandatory, but they’re an added bonus. Landscapers typically have liability insurance to protect against bodily injury or property damage. Your contractor should be fully insured and bonded. Request a certificate of insurance or insurance numbers to verify coverage.

Reputation and Reviews

Try to find a contractor who has a good reputation and positive customer reviews. Check both negative and positive reviews on third-party review sites like the Better Business Bureau in order to get a feel for how a provider treats its customers. You want to avoid companies that have frequent mentions of poor project results, unreliable customer service, or delayed projects, or that have generally poor reviews.

Work Portfolio

Most landscaping and maintenance companies proudly share finished projects with potential customers. Ask the company for its portfolio of landscaping designs and projects. They may also provide before and after pictures to show off their quality work. Request finished landscape designs similar to your project to get a better idea of how it will look.

Sustainability Practices

Ask your landscaping company about its sustainability practices, such as water conservation, eco-friendly material options, and waste management. Your provider can explain its own sustainability practices and offer recommendations for sustainable maintenance, including how to reduce cost, water consumption, and waste. When planting vegetation, the company should choose native area plants, such as evening primrose, red columbine, and beach strawberry. Any work they complete shouldn't have an impact on your existing vegetation.

Cost

We recommend requesting multiple quotes from different companies—this lets you compare rates and services and can even help you negotiate a better deal. Many providers offer free consultations to review your outdoor space, discuss project plans, and provide recommendations. Your detailed quote includes information about various project costs, such as labor and materials.

Landscaping Costs in Henderson

Landscaping typically costs $24–$37 per hour in Henderson, depending on project size and type. Simple tasks, such as mowing or gardening, will cost less than significant yard work, such as resodding. Factors such as materials and the size of your yard will impact your final price. For larger yards, a provider may charge by the acre. Large-scale projects require more labor, which will increase costs. Here's the average cost of different landscaping services:
