        About Search Results

        About Search Results

        YP - The Real Yellow PagesSM - helps you find the right local businesses to meet your specific needs. Search results are sorted by a combination of factors to give you a set of choices in response to your search criteria. These factors are similar to those you might use to determine which business to select from a local Yellow Pages directory, including proximity to where you are searching, expertise in the specific services or products you need, and comprehensive business information to help evaluate a business's suitability for you. “Preferred” listings, or those with featured website buttons, indicate YP advertisers who directly provide information about their businesses to help consumers make more informed buying decisions. YP advertisers receive higher placement in the default ordering of search results and may appear in sponsored listings on the top, side, or bottom of the search results page.

        Tips & Advice

        How much training does a landscaping contractor need?

        Employers must conduct all required training in a language and vocabulary that workers can understand. Training must demonstrate the hazards of operating certain machinery, like stone cutters and splitters, as well as how to use them appropriately. It's important to verify that your landscape contractor has taken the necessary steps to fully train its personnel and that the appropriate safety precautions are in place.

        Does a landscaping contractor need to be licensed?

        Check the specific regulations for your area, and verify that your contractor has the necessary licenses. These may include a state contractor's license, pesticide license, CDL driver's license and license to sell and purchase nursery stock.

        What does professional landscaping cost?

        Landscape work is not cheap, so it's in your best interest to make sure that it's done to your requirements and that you get the best contractor to do the job. Homeowners should know how much they'll need to pay for the contractor's service as well as how they will be billed for this work. Ask about any design fees, if quoted prices are fixed or estimates, and what the payment process will be. Clarifying these items in the beginning will prevent any surprise expenses.

        Does a landscape contractor need insurance?

        Yes. Homeowners should require that the contractor submit certificates verifying compliance with safety, insurance, workers' compensation and drug and alcohol testing programs. This will give you peace of mind that the contractor has gone through all the steps under industry regulations.

        Can I ask a landscape contractor for references?

        Yes. Every good contractor should have a list of recently completed jobs that you can see in their portfolio. They should also have a list of references that you can contact, or properties that you can see in person.

        Does professional landscaping involve large equipment?

        Yes. Homeowners need to anticipate equipment access needed to create a deck or patio, as some tools may be too big for the space.

        What is Japanese Garden Style landscaping?

        Japanese-style landscapes are known for providing a serene space. This design uses a number of techniques to make the area look bigger than it is and to create a calm, beautiful atmosphere.

        What is Southwest Landscape Design?

        If you live in an arid region, this style is likely going to be the best choice for your landscaping. Using a mix of garden decor and plants, Southwest design aims to make the most of plants that retain water well and can handle dry, warm climates.

        What is Mediterranean-Style landscaping?

        Mediterranean-Style landscaping takes its cue from the gardens and plants found in Greece, Italy and other Mediterranean  countries. It is a popular choice that takes advantage of new varieties of palm trees and plants that conform to different climates, and includes tiles and furniture that compliments the plants.

        What are the advantages to having a landscape contractor build or upgrade my deck or patio?

        These professionals have the best materials and tools available to create the look that you desire. DIY projects can end with structurally unsound builds, requiring additional time and money to fix the issues. Good landscapers will ensure a solid result that melds with the rest of your landscape design.

        Horrible company. They offered me a discount to sign up with them as a client, so I agreed. They mowed my lawn once and then never came back. I would contact them pretty much every other week to ask them when they were coming back and they would say "We'll send someone out this week. Sorry, scheduling has been messed up because of rain." That went on for a month. It rained for one of those weeks, but that wasn't a valid excuse for the rest of the month. My grass got knee-high before I finally texted the owner and said "If you don't send someone out this week, I'll find another company. I apologize if I sound rude, but this has been very frustrating." No answer. That also happened a lot. Finally, I texted and said "Don't send anyone out; I'm no longer interested in being your client." I got an immediate response - "You've been deleted." No apology, no acknowledgement that this could have been handled better. I hope I can upload the screenshots of all the interactions I've had so everyone can see how unprofessional and totally uncaring this company was.

        My wife and I could not be more pleased with the quality of service and professionalism we received from Barron and the entire Landscape Baton Rouge crew. I put in a request for a quote with several other landscape contractors and Barron was the first to respond and was eager to help us out. Barron and his guys installed a paver patio for us and we had all sorts of questions and he took the time to answer all of them and even came up with the patio design. I highly recommend Barron and Landscape Baton Rouge and will certainly use them again in the future.

        I like how prompt Landscape Baton Rouge is when I am on the schedule for my lawn to be mowed. I had one instance where the guys rushed to mow the lawn. I spoke with Barron, and he told me he would talk with his guys and make sure it didn't happen again. But I really do enjoy speaking with Barron when we do communicate. He is very personable and tries to satisfy his customers. I will definitely continue to use them because overall they aim to satisfy.Jolie Jones

        I've been very happy with Barron and his crew. They have been mowing my lawn in the Garden District for a few months now and I've had no complaints. They are quick yet thorough in mowing and trimming, and in the colder months they also pick up and bag leaves. I'd recommend these guys to anyone in the BR area looking for professional lawn care and other landscaping needs.

        I've been working with Barron and his team for about 6 months now. They've helped me with everything including drainage, sodding, mulching, and on-going lawn care. I've have been very satisfied in all aspects and would highly recommend them to others.

        Did You Know?

        Nature's beauty can be seen everywhere through landscape designs. Not everyone has a green thumb or the knowledge to coordinate a landscaping plan that's aesthetically pleasing and meets the unique needs of the property. Landscape contractors can help add curb appeal to the exterior of your home or strategize how plants should be laid out.

        Job Description

        Generally, landscape contractors create or refurbish outdoor spaces by planting trees, lawns, shrubs and flowers, and constructing paths, decks and patios. These professionals will generally discuss client requirements, how the landscaped area will be used, and the client's preference for certain styles. After this initial meeting, landscapers will select the materials they need and start carrying out their construction and planting plans.

        With the number and variety of properties that need landscaping services, it should come as no surprise that there are many different providers to choose from. In fact, there are nearly 500,000 active landscaping businesses in the U.S. This demand is driven by the continued growth in domestic housing markets. Steady disposable income has also been a major reason for households to outsource their yard care.

        Different Types of Landscaping

        Landscaping contractors have a wide variety of techniques that they can use to spruce up your yard. Here are some of the most common landscaping attributes that you can find at most homes:

        Perennials
        Homeowners and businesses may stray from annuals and biennials due to planning and costs associated with them - instead, look to fill your garden with perennials. These plants return every year, making them a budget-friendly option. You may choose to do a one-color floral garden or a combination of colorful perennials. Look at plants like allium, buddleia, coneflower, sage and veronica for inspiration when choosing perennials.

        Trees
        Homeowners can mix and match different kinds of trees to enhance their yard. Evergreens like spruce, magnolia, holly and firs keep their leaves year-round. Deciduous trees, on the other hand, have leaves that change color and fall off in colder months. Pair different types of trees together for ample yard coverage.

        Pathways
        If you want to guide guests around your yard, try using pathways. You can dig shallow holes to make the stones flush with the ground, providing an appealing walkway. Pavers can also be arranged in geometric patterns to cover unused ground space or bare earth.

        Construction
        Landscape contractors can also build a structure that will enhance your yard. Perhaps you decide to put in a koi pond, or that you want to build out your patio. Landscape contractors have the knowledge, tools and design expertise to carry out these construction projects.

        Typical Jobs

        Homeowners and business managers should call landscaping contractors as these professionals have the tools and expertise to carry out jobs such as:

        Planting Trees and Flowers
        Landscapers are often called out to roll out sod as well as plant trees and flowers. These contractors have the design aesthetic to help you plan the best layout for your particular space. Landscapers can also tell you if certain plants aren't cut out for your climate. Not only will you get a beautiful yard, but you'll also have foliage that will last over the years.

        Installing Irrigation
        Sprinkler systems are beneficial for a variety of locations, but many DIY irrigation projects can lead to incorrect installations. Some problems include poor-quality components, improper pipe sizing, too many sprinkler-heads per zone, and inadequate head spacing. These systems are difficult to install, and a DIYer can easily make mistakes. Landscape contractors can situate sprinklers methodically to maintain your plants and ensure that the irrigation system is set up correctly.

        Building Retaining Walls
        If you have a retaining wall or are putting one in, proper installation is crucial. Landscapers see issues like lack of proper base preparation, unattractive wall blocks, mitered cuts at corners and no drainage chimney installed behind the wall. To prevent your wall from crumbling, call a landscape contractor to construct one.

        Decks/Patios
        Besides putting in plants and trees, building decks and patios are the most common jobs for a landscape contractor. These professionals have the best materials and tools available to create the look that you desire. DIY projects can end with structurally unsound builds, requiring additional time and money to fix the issues. Good landscapers will ensure a solid result that melds with the rest of your landscape design.

        Choosing a Landscape Style for Your Home

        Homeowners and contractors can draw a lot of inspiration from landscaping styles used all over the world. There are some limitations to your options, such as what plants you can use based on the climate you live in, how much space you have to work with and any homeowners-association compliance regulations. However, once you address these main areas, landscaping design is only as restricted as your imagination.

        Mediterranean Style
        Many homeowners are starting to use the Mediterranean design style for their landscapes. This option is becoming popular around the world because it takes advantage of new varieties of palm trees and plants that conform to different climates. The diversity of this flora is what makes this approach so appealing.

        Southwest Landscape Design
        If you live in an arid region, this style is likely going to be the best choice for your landscaping. Using a mix of garden decor and plants, Southwest design aims to make the most of plants that retain water well and can handle dry, warm climates. Pathways, patios and lawn ornaments can help cover the space and complement available flora.

        Japanese Garden Style
        Japanese-style landscapes are known for providing a serene space. This design uses a number of techniques to make the area look bigger than it is and to create a calm, beautiful atmosphere. 

        Other Considerations
        No matter which style you choose, there are some main considerations that should go into your design. Homeowners need to anticipate equipment access needed to create a deck or patio, as some tools may be too big for the space. They will also want to start by choosing a focal point. It should stand out but still be connected to the rest of the landscape. Accenting your home with thoughtful plantings to highlight its features will add curb appeal and enhance its characteristics.

        Choosing a Landscape Contractor

        Landscape work is not cheap, so it's in your best interest to make sure that it's done to your requirements and that you get the best contractor to do the job. Consider these factors before hiring a contractor:

        References
        Every good contractor should have a list of recently completed jobs that you can see in their portfolio. They should also have a list of references that you can contact, or properties that you can see in person. Feedback from these sources can reveal necessary information about the quality of the contractor's work, dependability, responsiveness and capacity to carry out your particular project.

        Certification and Memberships
        Landscape contractors also should have relevant certifications from reputable programs, like Certified Landscape Technician. You should also ask for a list of professional activities, affiliations and awards to gauge interest in professional growth and commitment to excellence. Contractors may be part of the International Society of Arboriculture, The Irrigation Association and numerous other organizations that are committed to providing better training and education in the industry.

        Insurance
        Homeowners should require that the contractor submit certificates verifying compliance with safety, insurance, workers' compensation and drug and alcohol testing programs. This will give you peace of mind that the contractor has gone through all the steps under industry regulations.

        Pricing and Billing
        Homeowners should know how much they'll need to pay for the contractor's service as well as how they will be billed for this work. Ask about any design fees, if quoted prices are fixed or estimates, and what the payment process will be. Clarifying these items in the beginning will prevent any surprise expenses.

        Licensing

        States have different requirements regarding landscape-contractor operations. Check the specific regulations for your area, and verify that your contractor has the necessary licenses. These may include a state contractor's license, pesticide license, CDL driver's license and license to sell and purchase nursery stock. It's important to ensure that your landscape contractor complies with established rules before beginning your project.

        Safety

        When it comes to working with landscaping materials, safety must be the top priority. There is a wide range of services within the industry, many of which come with a risk of injury. Employers must conduct all required training in a language and vocabulary that workers can understand. Training must demonstrate the hazards of operating certain machinery, like stone cutters and splitters, as well as how to use them appropriately. It's important to verify that your landscape contractor has taken the necessary steps to fully train its personnel and that the appropriate safety precautions are in place.
