Landscaping Services in New Orleans

Landscaping is the work of shaping and planting outdoor space so it looks good and works well. It covers plants, beds, and lawn, along with the systems behind them, such as irrigation, drainage, and lighting. In New Orleans, good landscaping is also planned around intense heat, humidity, and heavy rain.

Landscaping cost depends on the size of the project, the materials, and the scope of work, so a small restoration costs far less than a full yard rebuild with drainage and lighting. The most accurate number comes from a free on-site estimate, which we provide with no obligation to book.

A small yard usually costs less to landscape because it needs fewer plants and materials, but the price still depends on what the project includes. Adding irrigation, drainage work, or lighting widens the scope. We quote small New Orleans yards the same way as large ones, after a free look at the property.

Well-planned landscaping can add to a home's value by improving curb appeal and how the yard works, though the effect varies with the market and the quality of the work. Plants suited to the site, sound drainage, and a yard that is kept up afterward all help protect that value over time.

Hardscape is the non-living part of a landscape: paved paths, patios, courtyards, walls, and fire or water features. Softscape is the living part, such as plants, beds, and lawn. Most good New Orleans yards balance the two, and our hardscape service covers stone paving, patios, courtyards, and fire and water features.

Edging is the border that separates a planting bed from the lawn or a path. It can be a clean cut soil edge or a physical border such as brick, stone, or metal. Edging keeps mulch in the bed, stops grass from creeping into plantings, and gives the whole yard a finished outline.

Commercial landscaping is the building and upkeep of grounds for businesses and managed properties, such as offices, storefronts, and rental properties. The focus is on grounds that look consistent, handle foot traffic, and stay safe for visitors. We serve commercial properties across greater New Orleans with the same services homeowners use.

A berm is a raised mound of soil built into a landscape, often planted with shrubs or grasses. Berms add height and screening, and they can steer surface water away from low spots. In flat, rain-heavy New Orleans yards, a berm needs a planned path for runoff so water is not pushed toward the house.
