Landscapers & Landscaping Companies in Durham

Hiring a Durham Landscape Contractor

Professional Durham landscaping companies create and maintain beautiful yards that complement homes and blend into native settings. From soil, grasses and plants to decks, walkways and patios, landscape contractors are experts in creating functional and visually pleasing outdoor living spaces.

Landscaping contractors execute lawn, garden and hardscaping plans, either working from architect designs or providing their own design services. They maintain plantings, manage weeds and pests, and perform ongoing maintenance. Licensed Durham landscapers understand local weather patterns and climate conditions, choosing plants and materials suited to the area. They also handle construction permits, hire subcontractors when needed, and ensure designs comply with local building codes.

• How long have you been in business and can you provide recent references?
  
• Are you and your workers licensed, insured, and employees or subcontractors?
  
• What sustainable practices and water conservation methods do you use?

• Do you install and service smart irrigation systems?
