Our landscaping services in Durham, NC

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 couldn't be more pleased with the work Chris has done for us. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. He showed up exactly when he said he would, which is rare these days, and immediately got to work without wasting any time. What stood out most about Chris’s service was his attention to detail. He didn’t just mow the lawn—he made sure every edge was clean, sharp, and tidy. The trimming around the trees, flower beds, and fences was done with such precision that it gave the entire yard a polished and well-kept appearance. Even the areas that are usually overlooked by others were carefully taken care of. Our lawn has honestly never looked this good. Chris took the time to understand the layout of our property, and he worked efficiently and thoroughly. After he was finished, not a single grass clipping was left out of place. He made sure to blow everything clean and left the yard looking spotless. It’s clear that Chris takes pride in what he does, an"

Durham Landscaping Trends and Projects by Season

Landscaping can transform Durham lawns and raise them to extraordinary levels. Whether you want an edible garden with fruits and veggies, flower beds filled with annuals and perennials of different colors and textures that attract pollinators, or trees and shrubs that provide a home for birds, LawnStarter’s pros are here to make your vision a reality. 

If you’re unsure where to start and need help designing your landscape, LawnStarter will connect you to the best Durham landscapers.  

Durham Landscaping Trends

  • Native plants: Purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, cardinal flower, and Carolina phlox love the clay soil.
  • Smart irrigation: Weather-based controllers tweak run times automatically, saving on water costs.
  • Hardscaping: Stone patios, flagstone walks, and local-stone retaining walls give structure and Piedmont charm.
  • Low-maintenance landscapes: Drought-resistant perennials and ornamental grasses mean less mowing and more free time.

Durham Landscaping by Season

To keep Durham landscaping healthy and lush, year-round TLC is a must.

Follow our landscaping calendar to keep your yard in tip-top shape. Our calendar covers all landscaping corners, including gardens, patios, and shrubbery. 

Summer  

  • Lawn Care: Mow regularly.   
  • Mulch: Replenish mulch in high-traffic areas if needed. 
  • Planting: Install heat-tolerant flowers and ground covers. 
  • Hardscaping: Continue hardscaping projects if necessary.  
  • Irrigation: Minimize evaporation by watering early in the morning.  
  • Pruning: Trim shrubs lightly for shape maintenance. 

Fall  

  • Lawn Care: As grass growth slows, mow less frequently.     
  • Mulch: Lay mulch for winter insulation to protect plant roots. 
  • Planting: Install spring-blossoming varieties in the fall. 
  • Leaf Cleanup: Consistently rake, blow, or mulch leaves, or hire a leaf removal pro.  
  • Hardscaping: Add hardscape projects, like pavers and garden pathways, before temperatures drop below 40 degrees.      
  • Irrigation: Turn off and winterize irrigation systems in late fall. 

Winter  

  • Lawn Care: Stop mowing until the ground thaws.  
  • Leaf Cleanup: Continue clearing fallen leaves. 

Spring  

  • Lawn Care: Mowing season starts in mid-March when grass growth resumes. 
  • Irrigation: Test your irrigation system and check for damaged sprinkler heads. If you don’t have a system, spring is an ideal time to install one.  
  • Hardscaping: Begin hardscaping projects, like decks and patios, after the last frost.    
  • Landscape Lighting: Add lighting to prepare for extended summer outdoor use.  
  • Planting: Plant trees, flower beds, and ground covers. 
  • Mulching: Add fresh mulch to reduce weed growth. 
  • Shrub Pruning: Prune lightly.  

When you tire of lawn watering, cleaning up leaves, and installing and repairing irrigation systems, LawnStarter is waiting. We can connect you with a Durham landscaping pro today.
