Our landscaping services in Charleston, 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.

"We were very impressed with the timeliness of two leaf crew and the attention to detail. He was very friendly and even took the time to move an item from our yard that we forgot to move so that he could mow under it. He took the time to weed, eat all the edges and even edge around the sidewalk and driveway. He even took the time to use the leaf blower to even out the grass clumps that had accumulated from the mowing we will be using him again."

Charleston Landscaping Trends and Projects by Season

Charleston boasts charming architecture, a vibrant culinary scene, and beautiful beaches. However, the city also faces challenges from hurricanes, floods, and droughts. To tackle these issues, Charleston has adopted a resilience guidance plan aimed at developing sustainable landscapes.

As a homeowner in Charleston, you can align your landscaping upgrades with the city’s sustainability initiatives. It’s easy to start the process. LawnStarter connects you with top landscape professionals in Charleston, giving you multiple quotes in just minutes with only a few clicks.

Charleston Landscaping Trends

  • Flood Prevention Methods: French drains and rain gardens
  • Nativars: Native plants that can withstand hurricanes, floods, and drought, well-suited to the local conditions
  • Hardscaping: Permeable paver walkways, driveways, and patios to help drain water 

Charleston Landscaping Projects by Season

Landscaping in Charleston is a year-round job. Check out this seasonal landscaping guide to help you get the most out of your Chucktown yard.

Summer

  • Lawn Care: Continue to mow weekly. Fertilize warm-season grasses once between June and August. Monitor for pests and diseases.
  • Planting: Summer is the best time to plant phlox, blackeyed Susans, lantana, and zinnias.
  • Irrigation: This is the peak season for your irrigation system.

Fall

  • Lawn Care: Continue to mow once a week until temperatures fall below 55 degrees. Fertilize cool-season grasses in October. Overseed and consider using a pre-emergent herbicide.  
  • Leaf Cleanup: Rake leaves, mulch or blow them, or hire a local leaf removal crew.
  • Planting: Plant bulbs now to bloom next year. Plant asters, lilies, and salvias. Plant trees now until early winter. 
  • Mulch: Replenish your mulch.
  • Irrigation: Fall is the best time to install a sprinkler system because the ground temps are perfect. 
  • Hardscaping: Add concrete patios, decks, and fire pits during the fall when the dry weather allows everything to cure, dry, and set.
  • Fencing: Install fencing in the fall to avoid the summer heat and spring rains.

Winter

  • Lawn Care: Mow and aerate as needed, weed your lawn and flower beds, and let your cool-season grasses grow long.
  • Planting: Plant trees in early winter – camellia, pansies, primrose, and winter honeysuckle. 
  • Pruning: Prune your shrubs and trees when the plants are dormant.
  • Irrigation: Water only in case of drought and sustained temperatures above freezing.

Spring

  • Lawn Care: Once your lawn starts to green up in late February or early March, start to mow weekly. Aerate your lawn in April and begin fertilizing and overseeding in May. 
  • Planting: Plant perennials after the last frost when temperatures are between 40 and 60 degrees. Plant annuals in March. Weed your flower beds throughout the season.
  • Irrigation: Give your lawn 1 to 1.5 inches of water before 10 a.m. 
  • Landscape Lighting: Install outdoor lighting to show off your home and lawn.

Whether you need help with hardscaping, flower bed renewal, or routine lawn care, LawnStarter's Charleston landscaping pros are ready with a free quote.
