Landscaping
Beds, stone, plantings and outdoor projects built to fit the yard, with a local Jacksonville and Northeast Florida contractor and the appointment set on one call.
Landscaping in Jacksonville runs on Jacksonville and Northeast Florida rules. The lawns are St. Augustine (Floratam) and Bahia, with zoysia and centipede in some yards, the soil is sandy soil that drains fast and lets nutrients wash through, and the climate is a June to September rainy season, mild winters and occasional inland frost. That combination decides what good landscaping looks like here: the services below are the ones local contractors actually book in Jacksonville, sequenced for this grass and this soil rather than copied from a national checklist.
Jacksonville is the largest covered city in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida on this site, with 31 ZIP codes in the booking area. Coverage follows contractor routes, not city limits, so a street on the edge of a listed ZIP is worth a call to confirm.
Ask any contractor working Jacksonville and they will describe the same conditions: hungry, thin turf where sandy soil loses fertilizer fast; brown patch during wet stretches; chinch bugs, the signature St. Augustine pest in Northeast Florida. Those three show up in Jacksonville yards season after season, and each one is cheaper to handle early than late. A booked visit starts by reading which of them your lawn is actually dealing with, because the fix for a fungus problem and the fix for compaction look similar from the curb and are opposites in practice.
Patios, walkways, edging and walls built on a proper base. Typical range $1,800-$12,000 per project.
The right plant, in the right place, planted at the right depth. Typical range $180-$1,400 per plant installed.
Fresh mulch that holds moisture, blocks weeds and finishes the beds. Typical range $180-$650 per job.
A plan for the yard that sequences design, drainage and planting. Typical range $300-$2,500 per design.
Lines are open open 9am-5pm cst, mon-sun. A short call covers the service, the yard and the timing, and ends with an appointment booked with a local contractor, not a promise to ring back.
Coastal yards need salt and wind tolerant choices, and tree and shrub installation should favor plants proven in sandy, exposed sites. Pairing those plantings with durable mulching and, where wanted, hardscaping for paths and seating usually outlasts a design copied from an inland neighborhood.
Hardscaping covers small projects such as a walkway, a modest patio, or bed edging as well as larger outdoor design builds. On sandy Northeast Florida lots, proper base compaction and edge restraint matter at any size, since that is what keeps pavers level through heavy summer rain.
Pine straw compacts and washes in heavy rain, so most beds need a mulching refresh once or twice a year, often as part of spring and fall seasonal clean ups. Keeping straw a few inches deep and clear of stems and trunks helps it shed water and suppress weeds between refreshes.
Fall through spring is the easiest window for tree and shrub installation in Northeast Florida, since roots settle in mild weather before summer heat arrives. New plantings on sandy soil still need consistent watering in their first season, plus mulching to protect the root zone.

Ranges are typical for residential work in our covered metros. Your contractor confirms the range for your exact job on the call, before you commit to anything.
The rainy season sets the Northeast Florida calendar: feeding and mowing surge with the summer rains, and many local rules restrict fertilizer during the wettest months, which is worth checking before any application. In Jacksonville that calendar is not academic. Work booked in the right window costs less and lasts longer, because the grass does half the job itself when the season is on its side. Sandy soil drinks fast and holds little, so shorter, well-timed watering beats the deep soak that clay country needs. Your contractor will set the visit timing against the Jacksonville and Northeast Florida season rather than a national schedule, and will tell you plainly if the job you want belongs in a different month.
