Best Landscapers & Lawn Care in Cedar Park, TX

What to look for in landscapers

Landscaping in Cedar Park is fundamentally different from anywhere else in the country — and not in a fun way. Between thin Hill Country soil sitting on limestone bedrock, drought restrictions from the LCRA, summer heat that stresses anything not native, and a deer population that treats most ornamental plants as a buffet, designing and maintaining a beautiful yard here takes specific local knowledge. The landscapers below have all worked in Cedar Park for years and know exactly which plants survive and thrive.

Routine lawn maintenance is the biggest service category. Most Cedar Park lawn care services charge $35-$75 per visit for standard mow-and-edge on a typical residential lot, with weekly schedules running March through October and biweekly or pause schedules during winter. Many companies bundle in fertilization, weed control, aeration, and seasonal cleanups for $80-$200/month total — usually a better deal than booking individual services.

For full landscape design and installation, expect $3,000-$8,000 for a typical front yard refresh including bed cleanup, mulch, new plants, and a small hardscape feature. Larger backyard transformations with patios, retaining walls, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens range from $15,000-$60,000+. Cedar Park's clay-over-limestone soil makes drainage planning critical — bad grading is why so many older Cedar Park yards have foundation problems and dead trees.

Drought-tolerant and xeriscape landscaping has become the dominant trend in Cedar Park. Native and adapted plants like Texas sage, agave, autumn sage, blackfoot daisy, mealy blue sage, and various sedges thrive without irrigation once established. Many local landscapers offer "lawn replacement" packages converting turf grass to xeriscape — typical cost is $4-$10 per square foot installed. The City of Cedar Park occasionally offers rebates for landscape water conservation; ask your landscaper what's currently available.

Irrigation is critical and often overlooked. A properly designed and maintained sprinkler system can cut your water bill in half while keeping your yard healthier. Most Cedar Park irrigators charge $150-$300 for a full system tune-up (inspect every head, adjust coverage, repair leaks, optimize controller schedule) and the savings on your next water bill almost always exceed that. New irrigation installs for a typical Cedar Park lot run $3,500-$7,500. Cedar Park is under permanent Stage 1 watering restrictions (specific watering days based on address) — your landscaper should know the current rules cold.
