A directory of landscaping companies across the 100 largest US cities. Every listing’s name, address and phone comes from the company’s own website — not from an aggregator profile — and every city page covers the licensing rules, climate pressures and price ranges that actually apply in that metro.

About this directory
Search for a landscaper in most US cities and you get three kinds of result: map profiles with contact details nobody has checked in years, lead-generation sites that sell your enquiry to whoever pays most, and aggregator pages that copy each other’s mistakes indefinitely. Nobody is accountable for whether any of it is right. This directory takes a narrower approach: fewer listings, each one traceable to the source it came from.
How listings are collected
Every listing follows the same three steps. Candidates are found by search — companies that actually operate in the city in question. The company’s own website is then opened and read, so the name, address and phone come from the page the business itself controls and keeps current. The source URL and collection date are recorded, so any entry can be traced back and rechecked.
Nothing is taken from Google Maps, Yelp, or any aggregator profile. If a company has no website, or its site is unreachable, it isn’t listed. That costs coverage, and it’s the right trade.
Where a business publishes only an out-of-town office but plainly serves the city, the address is recorded exactly as the business states it, with a note explaining the relationship. No listing is ever given an address the business does not claim for itself.
What this directory doesn't do
- No scraped contact details. Covered above, and it’s the main thing that makes this different.
- No paid placement inside the free listings. Free listings are ordered the same way for everyone. Paid placement exists and is labelled Featured where it appears — it never quietly reorders the free ones.
- No reviews or star ratings. A handful of unverifiable reviews per business is worse than none.
What's missing, and why
- Around a third of listings have no street address. Not an oversight — the company doesn’t publish one. Plenty of landscapers work from a truck and a yard rather than a storefront, and a business with no public address is not a less legitimate business.
- Coverage per city is uneven. Most cities have three listings; some have one. The limiting factor is how many local companies publish reachable websites, which varies more between cities than you would expect.
- The price ranges below are national figures, accurate for 2026 but not metro-specific. A patio in San Francisco does not cost what a patio in Wichita costs.
- Listings carry no opening hours, service lists or photographs — only what the business publishes and what can be verified.
Corrections and claiming a listing
Listings are free, and a free listing carries name, address and phone. If your business is listed and something is wrong, tell us and it will be corrected — including removing it entirely if you would rather not appear.
If your business isn’t listed, it can be added, provided the details can be verified against your own website. That requirement applies to everyone equally.
What to check before you hire
Licensing is the single biggest variable, and it’s set by the state — not nationally. There is no US landscaping licence. What exists is a patchwork, and knowing which regime you’re in tells you what to ask for:
- States with a dedicated landscape trade licence. California issues the C-27 Landscaping Contractor licence through the CSLB; Oregon licenses through a Landscape Contractors Board (LCB) that is separate from its general contractor board; Nevada issues a C-10; Arizona a CR-21 through the Registrar of Contractors. In these states, ask for the number and check it on the state site — it takes a minute.
- States with no landscaping licence at all. Texas is the clearest example. Anyone can mow and plant, but irrigation work requires a TCEQ Licensed Irrigator, which is a real, checkable credential. Indiana is similar: no trade licence, but pesticide application is licensed through the Office of the Indiana State Chemist.
- States that license home improvement generally. New Jersey requires registration with the Division of Consumer Affairs and proof of at least $500,000 in commercial general liability cover — a higher bar than most states set, and one that filters out informal operators on its own.
Where no state licence exists, verify general liability and workers’ compensation directly, because there’s no trade licence standing behind the work.
Three questions sort most contractors, in any state:
1. How will you handle drainage? On clay, on a slope, or anywhere water collects, this is the answer that separates someone who has lost plants from someone who hasn’t. “We’ll bring in topsoil” is not a drainage plan. 2. How deep are the footings, relative to frost? In any cold climate this determines whether a patio or wall is level in five years. It’s also exactly where a cheap bid economises. 3. Have you walked the access route? On a small or enclosed lot, getting soil and stone in and debris out is often the largest single cost. A quote from someone who hasn’t seen the route is a guess.
What landscaping work costs
National ranges as of 2026. Treat them as a starting point — labour costs, access difficulty and disposal move real quotes a long way in both directions, and a dense city with no parking bears little relation to a suburban lot with a driveway.
- Lawn mowing, per visit: $30–$80, or roughly $100–$300 per month
- Full-service maintenance visit: $100–$200
- Sprinkler system installation: $3,000–$10,000
- Drip irrigation: $300–$1,200 per zone
- Paver patio: $10–$30 per square foot installed
- Combined softscape and hardscape: $8–$12 per square foot installed
Each city page carries the local licensing detail and the conditions that drive cost in that metro — frost depth, soil, water restrictions, storm exposure.
What landscapers do
The word covers several distinct trades, and few companies do all of them well:
- Maintenance — mowing, pruning, seasonal cleanup, fertilisation. Recurring, relationship-driven work.
- Design and installation — planting plans, beds, lawns, trees. Where plant knowledge and local climate judgement matter most.
- Hardscape — patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits. Closer to construction than gardening; base preparation and drainage decide whether it lasts.
- Irrigation — design, installation, repair, winterisation. Frequently a separately licensed skill.
- Drainage and grading — regrading, French drains, dry creek beds. The most consequential and least visible work on the list.
- Tree care — pruning and removal. Often a certified arborist rather than a landscaper.
Match the company to the job. A firm that mows well is not automatically the one to build a retaining wall.
