Best 5 Landscaping Companies in Lewisville, TX

DIY Options vs. Professional Services

You may have some basic lawn maintenance knowledge, but landscaping requires advanced skills, heavy equipment, and intense labor. Complicated landscaping projects, such as adding a fire pit or irrigation system, also necessitate machinery and construction experience.

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're planning a total yard overhaul, consider hiring a landscaper.

Professional landscape designers and architects have the skills to elevate your outdoor space and the knowledge to create a long-term maintenance plan. Your local professional can identify the most cost-effective upgrades, and one who offers lawn care services can improve your yard health. Hiring a professional also prevents you from making expensive mistakes.

Factors To Consider When Choosing an Lewisville Landscaping Company

Hiring the right landscaper involves finding one with the right experience that also fits your budget and service needs. Keep the following considerations in mind when shopping for landscaping contractors.

Services Offered

You should assess your landscaping needs before selecting a company. If you need assistance with yard health and maintenance, look for one that offers lawn care services. These services can include fertilizing, mulching, pruning, controlling weeds, and mowing. Some companies provide additional pest control and tree removal services.

Choose full-service landscaping if you plan to revamp your yard or want new outdoor elements, such as a fire pit. Full-service companies specialize in outdoor designs and upgrades, including landscaping rock projects, gardening, and adding hardscapes. They can also help install retaining walls, sprinkler or irrigation systems, fire pits, and other architectural elements. Some offer lawn maintenance services.

Licensing and Experience

Most landscapers are trained and certified in various areas, such as outdoor design, lawn maintenance, and horticulture. Your provider should have the appropriate licenses from the Lewisville city government. It may also employ the following certified professionals:

• 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 are not mandatory, but a way to show a contractor's commitment to their profession. Your landscaper should be fully bonded and insured. Most contractors have liability insurance for protection against property damage or bodily injury. Request an insurance certificate or insurance numbers to verify a company's coverage.

Reputation and Reviews

We suggest checking third-party review sites such as the Better Business Bureau to get an idea of a provider's reputation and customer experience. Stay away from companies with largely negative reviews or frequent mentions of delayed projects, poor project results, or unreliable customer service. Try to find a company with positive customer ratings.

Work Portfolio

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

Sustainability Practices

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

Cost

Request quotes from multiple companies to compare services and prices. Most companies offer free consultations in which they'll review your outdoor space, make recommendations, and discuss project ideas. A detailed quote should outline project costs such as materials and labor. You can use this quote to compare companies and sometimes negotiate a better price.
