Our landscaping services in Columbia, SC

Weekly or bi-weekly mowing, edging, and blowing off of hard surfaces. Keep your lawn perfectly maintained.

Why professional mowing?

Consistent height keeps grass healthy and thick. We mulch clippings for natural fertilizer, edge for clean lines, and blow off hard surfaces. Your lawn stays green and neat without weekend work and at a consistent professional level.

BOOK SERVICE

Shape shrubs and hedges for healthy, attractive growth. Can purchase with mowing or standalone. Choose your frequency.

When should I trim?

Most shrubs need trimming 3-4 times yearly. Spring shapes new growth, summer maintains, fall preps for winter. We know each species' needs and trim for health, not just looks.

BOOK SERVICE

Remove weeds and debris from beds by hand. Keep gardens neat and clean. Can purchase with mowing or standalone

How often do I need this?

Monthly in growing season, quarterly in winter. Regular weeding prevents seeds from spreading and protects your plants' water and nutrients. Mulch after weeding lasts longer.

Greener, thicker grass with less weeds. Fertilizer and weed control applied year-round. Can purchase with mowing or standalone.

What treatments do I need?

Pre-emergent stops weeds before they start. Fertilizer feeds grass in spring/fall. Post-emergent kills existing weeds. Pest control as needed. We customize based on your grass type. One service won't do it alone but our package leads to a lush weed-free lawn.

BOOK SERVICE

Fall cleanup, spring cleanup, or year-round. Keep your yard pristine. Can purchase with mowing or standalone.

When to schedule leaf cleanup?

Fall: bi-weekly during drop season. Spring: once for winter debris. Year-round for pristine look. Leaves block sunlight and trap moisture that causes disease leading to bare spots. Stay ahead of buildup.

BOOK SERVICE

Fresh mulch for healthier plants and cleaner beds. Color options available. Sign up for mowing and add mulch as an add on.

How much mulch do I need?

On your first visit your pro will take your measurements. 2-3 inches deep for best results. One cubic yard covers 100 sq ft. Mulch twice yearly: spring for moisture retention, fall for winter protection. Choose from 5 colors.

I'm more than satisfied. I appreciate the complete edging and weed removal. Blowing clippings off pavement made job look even better. Thank you for closing the gates before leaving.

"He actually did what he’s suppose to do. Better than someone else I had come out before. It was edged up, he removed big weeds, cleared up as much as possible. Like there’s not a bunch of grass left on the ground. So I can actually see the work he did and how it was done well. He didn’t a great job and that’s why I left a nice tip because he deserved every bit of it. Thank you so much I would highly recommend him & use him again for my lawn care. "

Didn't cut flowers in the yard: however did weed eat a few inside the border blocks at the front door (left side when facing the home) but they can appear to be weeds. Still gave 5 stars because of how well the yard looks and they didn't miss/skip any portion of the yard. The height of the grass was perfect also! Thanks!"

Columbia Landscaping Trends and Projects by Season

Columbia, SC, offers a great mix of city vibes and outdoor fun. You’ve got Lake Murray for water activities and Congaree National Park, known for its amazing synchronous fireflies. It’s great to head out to enjoy these outdoor activities. 

But what if you could create your backyard oasis with some landscaping upgrades? It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the sunshine right at home. LawnStarter can connect you with top landscape professionals in Columbia, giving you multiple quotes in just minutes with only a few clicks.

Columbia Landscaping Trends

  • Eco-Conscious Nativars: Native plants that can withstand wind, floods, and drought, well-suited to the local conditions
  • Hardscaping: Permeable paver walkways, driveways, and patios to help drain water 
  • Xeriscaping: Reduces need for watering using succulents, stones, and drought-tolerant grasses

Columbia Landscaping Projects by Season

Yard work is a year-round job in Columbia. Follow this calendar for an outdoor space that is healthy, inviting, and beautiful:

Summer  

  • Lawn Care: Raise mower blades to cut grass higher in the summer heat.   
  • Irrigation: Give your lawn about 1.5 inches of water, including rainfall. Water deeply. 
  • Landscape lighting: Add lighting to provide safety, highlight focal areas, and illuminate for evening events.  
  • Fencing: Summer, fall, and spring are the best times to install a fence.

Fall  

  • Lawn Care: Gradually lower mowing height the last few mows before winter.    
  • Planting: Plant perennials to bloom in the spring.   
  • Leaf Cleanup: Use leaves as mulch for the grass and other plants. Find out about curbside yard waste services for Richland County residents.  
  • Hardscaping: Install features like stone walls and patios during the cooler temperatures.     
  • Pest Control: Address pest problems, including winter pest prevention.  
  • Fencing: Installation and repairs are ideal until the winter weather begins. 

Winter 

  • Lawn Care: Mow as needed to keep the grass at the desired or recommended height. 
  • Irrigation: Only water when the grass is dry or there is no natural precipitation.
  • Pruning: Cut off dead branches from shrubs and trees. 
  • Lawn and Leaf Cleanup: Maintain a leaf and debris-free lawn. 
  • Fencing: Make any necessary repairs.

Spring  

  • Lawn Care: Mowing season begins when the grass starts growing, typically in early March.  
  • Irrigation: Check your system and set it to provide 1 to 1.5 inches of water weekly, including rainfall. 
  • Dethatch and Aerate: Dethatching helps the grass absorb nutrients.  
  • Planting: Plant shrubs, trees, ground covers, and flower beds.   
  • Mulch: Ideal time to add fresh mulch to plants, like around trees.  
  • Hardscaping: Cooler weather in the early spring makes it a comfortable time to install hardscapes like paved pathways.
