Best 5 Landscaping Companies in Frisco, TX

DIY Options vs. Professional Services

Many homeowners have basic lawn maintenance knowledge, but landscaping necessitates more advanced skills. Completing a full-scale landscaping project requires heavy equipment and intense labor. If you want to add complex elements such as a fire pit or irrigation system, you'll need someone with construction and machinery expertise.

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

Professional landscape architects and designers have the right skills and knowledge to elevate your outdoor space. They can recommend the most cost-effective upgrades and develop long-term plans for landscape maintenance. Contractors that offer lawn care services can help you improve your yard health, and you'll avoid making costly mistakes doing it on your own.

Factors To Consider When Choosing an Frisco Landscaping Company

Aim to hire a landscaper that offers the services you need within your budget. Also ensure that your provider has a good reputation. Keep the following factors in mind when shopping for landscaping contractors.

Services Offered

Consider your landscaping needs before choosing a company. Some providers offer lawn care services—including mowing, controlling weeds, pruning, fertilizing, and mulching—to improve yard health and maintenance. These companies often also provide pest control and tree removal services.

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

Licensing and Experience

Your landscaper should possess the appropriate licenses from the Frisco city government. Contractors often also have advanced training and certification in areas such as lawn maintenance, horticulture, and outdoor design. Your provider might employ 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 have certifications from professional organizations, such as the Professional Landcare Network and the National Association of Landscape Professionals. These certifications are not mandatory but can lend credibility to a provider. Your landscaper should be fully bonded and insured. Contractors should have liability insurance for protection against property damage or bodily injury. Request a certificate of insurance or insurance numbers to verify coverage.

Reputation and Reviews

You want a contractor who has a good reputation and positive customer reviews. You can read both positive and negative 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 providers that have frequent mentions of poor project results, delayed projects, or unreliable customer service, or that have overall poor reviews.

Work Portfolio

Ask to see a portfolio of your landscaping company's previous work. Most landscaping and maintenance companies are proud to share designs and projects with potential customers, including before and after images. You can ask for photos of past projects that are similar to your own design ideas so that you can get an idea of how your project will look.

Sustainability Practices

Sustainability practices are essential for any landscaper. These practices include water conservation, eco-friendly material options, and waste management. Landscaping contractors should choose native plant life—such as desert marigold, blackfoot daisy, and desert sand verbena—for best results. Any work done on your property shouldn't impact existing vegetation. Your landscaper should advise you of sustainability practices for your project and offer recommendations for reducing maintenance costs, water consumption, and waste.

Cost

Many companies offer free consultations. During this process, a contractor will review your outdoor space, make recommendations, and discuss project plans. Your detailed quote will cover project expenses like materials and labor. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies, which you can then use to compare rates and services and sometimes negotiate a lower price.

Landscaping Costs in Frisco

Landscaping in Frisco generally costs between $27 and $40 per hour. These figures depend on things such as project size and type. Bigger projects like resodding will cost more than simple lawn tasks like gardening or mowing. Bigger projects necessitate more labor, which increases the total cost.
