Landscaping services encompass various areas that work together to create stunning Outdoor Spaces. These services include lawn care, plant selection and setup, hardscaping design, irrigation systems, outdoor lighting, and seasonal maintenance. Working with the best landscape designer helps ensure all these elements come together perfectly for your property. This guide breaks down each service to help you understand what professional landscaping includes. Each service plays a key role in creating and maintaining an attractive, functional outdoor space.
Our lawn care services help keep your grass healthy and green throughout the year. We handle regular mowing, edging, fertilization, and weed control based on your lawn’s specific needs. Our team also provides aeration and overseeding to help your grass grow thick and strong. We pay attention to every detail to make sure your lawn looks its best. Our goal is to give you a yard that stands out in your neighborhood with healthy, beautiful grass.
We select and install plants that best suit your unique outdoor space. Our team considers factors such as sunlight, soil type, and drainage to select the most suitable plants for each area. We select everything from colorful flowers to evergreen shrubs that provide year-round beauty. During installation, we make sure each plant has proper spacing and soil preparation for healthy growth. Our careful planning creates stunning garden displays that match your overall landscape design.
Hardscaping adds structure and function to your outdoor space with non-living elements. We design and build patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens using quality materials. Our team selects materials that match your home’s style and blend well with the natural surroundings. We create outdoor living areas perfect for entertaining or relaxation. Each hardscaping project is tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences.
A good irrigation system keeps your landscape healthy by providing the right amount of water. We design systems tailored to your property’s specific needs, taking into account the soil type, plant varieties, and sun exposure. Our installation ensures water reaches all areas evenly without waste. Regular maintenance includes checking for leaks, adjusting sprinkler heads, and updating timers for different seasons. Proper irrigation helps your plants thrive while saving water and money.
Outdoor lighting extends the enjoyment of your landscape into the evening hours, allowing you to appreciate it longer. We design and install lighting systems that highlight your property’s best features while providing safety and security. Our team uses energy-efficient LED lights that last longer and use less electricity. We can create subtle pathway lighting, dramatic tree lighting, or accent lighting for architectural features. Professional lighting installation transforms your outdoor space into a beautiful and functional area after dark.
Year-round maintenance ensures your landscape remains in top condition throughout every season. Spring services include debris removal, plant pruning, and soil preparation for new growth. Summer maintenance focuses on regular mowing, weed control, and proper watering. Fall brings leaf removal, aeration, and winter preparation for your plants. Winter care includes snow removal and protecting sensitive plants from cold weather. Our seasonal services ensure your outdoor space stays beautiful throughout the year.
The timeline depends on the scope of your project, but most residential landscaping jobs range from a few days to several weeks. Larger design-build projects involving hardscaping, irrigation, and planting can take four to eight weeks from start to finish.
Spring and early fall are ideal for most landscaping work in the Pacific Northwest. Spring allows plants to establish before summer heat, while fall gives roots time to develop before winter. That said, planning should begin months in advance to secure your spot on a contractor's schedule.
Professional landscaping costs vary widely based on the size of your yard, materials chosen, and complexity of the design. Basic lawn and planting projects may start in the low thousands, while full design-build backyard transformations can range from $20,000 to $100,000 or more.
Some landscaping projects require permits, particularly those involving retaining walls, grading, drainage changes, or large structures like pergolas and outdoor kitchens. A professional contractor like Angkorscape handles the permitting process as part of the project.
Look for a company with a strong portfolio of completed projects, verifiable reviews, clear communication, and a transparent design process. An all-in-one design-build firm is ideal because it keeps design and construction aligned under one team.
Regular maintenance includes mowing, pruning, fertilizing, and seasonal clean-ups. Your contractor should provide a maintenance plan tailored to the specific plants and materials used in your project to keep everything looking its best year-round.
