Top 10 Landscaping Companies in Cape Coral

A Cape Coral homeowner should look for a landscaper familiar with sandy soil, heavy rain, salt air, irrigation, palms, and Florida turf. Hiring one usually starts with a site visit, followed by a written scope for grading, planting, sod, lighting, or maintenance. Ask who handles permits, irrigation repairs, cleanup, and follow-up care.

A Cape Coral homeowner should choose a landscaper who understands drainage, irrigation, salt, heat, and turf rather than one who only makes a yard look good on install day. The right hire will assess the lot, correct water flow, set irrigation, install suitable plants or turf, and explain the maintenance that keeps the work alive.

Cape Coral yards deal with intense sun, long wet stretches, tropical storms, and dry spells that arrive with very little warning. Much of the soil is sandy and drains quickly, but compacted fill, poor grading, and blocked swales can still leave water standing near a house or patio.

Salt air, chinch bugs, weeds, nutrient loss, and irrigation overspray all take their turn. A new lawn can look finished on Friday and start showing stress before the weekend is over, so the installation plan and the care plan need to agree with each other.

I wish we could give more than 5 stars. From start to finish, they were amazing. Everyone on their team took their time on our house and were so professional. We are so in love with how it all turned out. Top notch company and I will recommend them to everyone we know.

We built a pool and needed a complete update of our landscaping. Being a seasonal resident, I was concerned about finding a contractor that would be easy to work with, bring our vision to life and turn our yard into a tropical oasis for us and time the installation to meet our project deadlines, while managing the project from out of state. From the first call to Horseman's Lanscaping I felt we were in good hands. Chris came out quickly, worked with me over the phone and listened to what our ideas were. He made great suggestions on the best plants and trees for our location. He helped make sure that our plan would be approvable by our HOA. Our calls were answered quickly, changes and questions were taken care of. Our construction disaster was put back together within days of our pool being done. We were also very impressed that our install included weekly visits to keep and eye on the plants and sod getting established and making sure our sprinklers are hitting the right spots. We love our landscaping and are happy to recommend Horsemans Landscaping. We are excited to see our plants continue to grow and thrive in the Florida sun. Thank you Chris and Team! Our neighbors are enjoying the landscaping as well and stop by to complement it frequently.

I can’t recommend Scooters Lawn Care enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. Bree was absolutely amazing to work with — she truly listened to my ideas and brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. Her creativity, communication, and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and exciting. Troy and Angel are absolute masters at what they do! Their craftsmanship, professionalism, and hard work completely transformed the space. You can tell they take real pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares and delivers beautiful results, Scooters Lawn Care is the one to call. I’m beyond thrilled with how everything turned out!

Michael Weiss-Holmes, 7 months ago

It was a pleasure working with the Scooter’s team. Breanne came out on site to meet with me. She listened carefully to my wishes, gave great suggestions and designed a landscape plan for new flower beds. Once I approved the plan, the team was scheduled for installation. Justin and Angel did a great job following the plan and making a few more enhancements once the work started. They established the flower beds, moved the existing plants/bushes and installed the new trees, bushes, and other plants. They took a great care moving existing plants. Everything was done quickly and efficiently leaving the site clean. I strongly recommend Scooter’s services.

We are new to the Cape and had an idea about landscaping our yard. Advanced Landscaping Solutions LLC came out heard our vision, provided a landscape design, worked with us on plant selection, and then made it happen. We went from a drab builder grade front yard to a butterfly garden and yard lighting! We are amazed with the transformation every time we walk out our door. The photos don't even do it justice! If you have a landscaping idea give Erik a call. Can't say enough good things about working with him! One of the most affordable landscapers in Cape Coral.

Eric and his crew not only did an amazing job, but went far above our expectations. Eric is extremely knowledgeable with plants, trees, flowers, lighting, irrigation and drainage, and also with paver pads. The planning, design, and completing the job went as planned and without any issues. Eric and his crew truly created our backyard oasis. My wife and I could not be any happier.

What customers say:

I came back to find that absolutely nothing was done as agreed upon by the previous owner of the lawn company, I watched ,nothing was picked up around the yard, hedges not trimmed,front of the house bushes not trimmed so they would be below the window sill, rocks overgrown with weeds, and each side of the house as I watched was only trimmed by the fence the rest is overgrown. My concerns were promptly addressed and. people were dispatched to correct my concerns along with a sincere apology, I’m very happy with the swift action and most certainly continue to do business with them, my opinion is people sometimes make decisions that are not always for the benefit the company they work for, I’m confident it wasn’t the companies fault.

What customers say:

I highly recommend Danny Yates Landscaping! Five stars from start to finish. We were getting quotes to have the inside perimeter of our backyard fence landscaped with Clusias and Ornamental Grass. I spoke with Kellie on the phone and she was very helpful and arranged for Ashley to come the next day to give us a quote. Ashley was terrific too. She listened to exactly what we wanted then emailed us a landscape plan with itemized pricing. I called to request a few changes and they emailed me the updated plan and price. They had the best price of the quotes we got and they were very responsive when I contacted them. We needed some extra paperwork from the for our HOA approval and they provided everything needed quickly. We paid a deposit and as soon as we got HOA approval they came out that week to do the landscaping. Mario was the gentleman in charge of the crew that came. The crew was exceptional. They completed the entire project in about 3 hours. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure I was happy with the project before they left. Mario also explained about watering and care the bushes then Kellie called for follow up to be sure we were completely satisfied. Excellent local company that does terrific work. We highly recommend Danny Yates Landscaping. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the moment we stepped foot here to leaving was nothing but an exceptional experience! A very sweet lady named Patti asked if we need any help as soon as she saw us and provided knowledgeable experience. Patti went above and beyond providing outstanding service and was an absolute doll with my son to the point that I thought she was the owner of the nursery because of how caring and knowledgeable she was! Aside from the service, this nursery had a great selection and a lot of variety with unbeatable prices! Patti noticed a plant that wasn't doing so well and immediately separated it from the other plants. This is the 1st nursery that I've been to where I've seen an employee take immediate action. Great selection and great service! Thank you Patti!

Kaz Cabrera, 3 months ago

What customers say:

After 6 years, and most other stuff with the house is done. I decided it was time to do a refresh of my front yard. When I moved in back in 2020 I had a pool installed and I used Evergreen to install a sprinkler system and replace my entire lawn since much of it was a mess following the pool. I used website email to reach the Shawn again for this job. His wife contacted me and we set up an appointment. Shawn came by gave me some good addl ideas I hadnt thought about and we agreed on terms. I gave him what he asked for to start and the majority balance at completion. Being we`ve worked together before this may not be normal practice and was not the first time, so just understand that. Nice work, prompt, ensures you are satisfied & very easy to work with. I learned later his wife even remembered me from 6 years ago 😎. All in all another pleasant experience. Pics are before & after.

John Syme, 4 months ago

This is the second home we had Evergreen do landscaping for us. Sean and his team came through with another hit! In this renovation, Evergreen removed a large unused paver area in the front of our home and replaced it with a beautiful landscape of plants, palm, and even a fountain. They did it right with extending new drip lines from the irrigation system (had to cross the driveway!) and added electrical and low voltage wiring. They built block walls with caps to create the perfect setting in the now exposed area and followed it up with new walls around existing beds in front, both sides of the home and even created a new bed by the lanai in back to allow them to plant new privacy plants. The end result has been spectacular creating a distinctive look for our home full of flowers, palms and of course lighting! The pictures say it all. Terrific job!

Chuck Odorizzi, a year ago

We choose Evergreen Landscaping from previous reviews and they didn’t disappoint! Shawn was great to work with and has a wide knowledge of plants of all kinds, trees and the best grasses to use in our area. Shawn was on site working with his team the majority of the time. He was available for any questions and to offer suggestions as the project progressed. Our project came out exceptional!

We recently used Palm City for some landscaping at our home. We had an agave that was wildly overgrown with its thorny limbs that we wanted removed and replaced with more colorful landscaping. Amy was very knowledgeable and helped us choose a beautiful weeping hibiscus as the central focus as well as some ground cover plants. She was able to put us on the schedule within a couple of days. The 3 man crew who did the job came well prepared with sharp knives and shovels. They were able to get the job done very efficiently and carted away all the debris for us. We were very pleased with the final results and would highly recommend Palm City for any landscaping project. Many thanks to Amy and the team at Palm City!

Denise Higgins, 5 months ago

Today we visited Palm City Nursery and was met by Amy. She was kind and very helpful! We picked out our tree for delivery and install. 2 hrs later Amy called and said they could bring in same day! I know that’s not always the case, however, it was a great surprise to have gotten it installed so quickly! The installers were very attentive to our direction and you could tell they take pride in their work. We have more landscaping to do and we will definitely be using Palm City again!

MICKAYLA STONER, 4 months ago

OEF Landscaping did a great job at our property. Our front bed was overgrown, unmanageable, and some bushes did not recover from the hurricane. They answered the phone (when many did not, or return calls), and showed up when agreed. They were very informative and helpful during the planning process and completed the job as agreed. We are very happy with their service and work. Would definitely recommend.

Walter Clark, 2 years ago

We had a great experience with OEF! They were very quick to respond, came out and gave us a quote and once we decided to go with them they came out the next day to get it done! They cleaned up and trimmed our Areca palms that line our entire backyard that were in bad shape after Ian. They were very professional and worked none stop the entire time they were there. Would highly recommend them. The price was very reasonable and our back yard looks great!

Heather G., 2 years ago

OEF Veterans Landscaping did an amazing job on our full yard makeover. They tore up all of our old grass, or should I say weeds and installed fresh Floratam sod. They also did an amazing job with a rock area we needed to park my husbands work trailer. We love the palms they added out back along our new pool! Highly recommend. Great, trustworthy owners who follow through on all of your asks. I would give them 10 stars of we could!!! 🌟 🤩

Kyle and his team did an amazing job designing and installing the landscape at my new house. Lawn Reaper was the first to respond to my quote request, first out to my property for an estimate and offered me a very affordable quote with open communication when picking palm trees and flowers. Reliable and dependable!!! I also hired Lawn Reaper for monthly mowing and edging and feel very confident in the service they provide. I highly recommend.

How do you choose a landscaper in Cape Coral?

Start with the water, not the wishlist. A landscaper should walk the property after looking at downspouts, swales, sprinkler coverage, low spots, pool runoff, and the direction water takes during a hard rain. In Cape Coral, a pretty planting bed with nowhere for water to go is just a future repair bill with mulch on top.

Ask for a written scope that separates design, removal, grading, irrigation work, plant or sod installation, lighting, cleanup, and maintenance. Confirm which plants and turf are proposed, how they handle salt and full sun, and what happens if irrigation coverage is uneven after installation.

Check that the contractor carries the licenses and insurance required for the work being performed. Tree removal, electrical work, irrigation changes, drainage improvements, and structural projects may involve different requirements, so the person selling the job should be clear about who is responsible.

Use the comparison below to organize the first conversation. The cheapest bid is not useful if it leaves the sprinkler system, drainage, or soil preparation out of the scope.

Project need	Questions to ask	Details to get in writing
New sod	Which turf fits the sun, shade, and irrigation coverage?	Turf type, soil preparation, grading, watering schedule, cleanup
Planting beds	Can the plants handle Cape Coral heat, rain, and salt air?	Plant list, spacing, mulch depth, replacement terms
Drainage	Where will stormwater go during a heavy rain?	Grading changes, swales, drains, discharge point, permits
Irrigation	Does the system cover every lawn and bed without overspray?	Zone repairs, controller settings, rain sensor, warranty
Landscape lighting	Who handles the wiring and transformer work?	Fixture locations, power source, trenching, service terms
Ongoing maintenance	What is included each visit?	Mowing, trimming, fertilizing, pest checks, seasonal visits

Before work begins, photograph existing irrigation heads, lighting, pavers, pool equipment, and valuable plants. Confirm the start date, payment schedule, material substitutions, and final cleanup. A contractor who answers those questions plainly is easier to work with after the first afternoon storm.

Frequently asked questions

What landscaping problems are common in Cape Coral?

Poor drainage, uneven irrigation, salt exposure, turf stress, weeds, chinch bugs, and storm damage are common concerns. Sandy soil may drain quickly, while compacted fill and poor grading can still leave standing water after heavy rain.

How often should a Cape Coral lawn be mowed?

During active warm-season growth, many lawns need mowing about once a week, though heavy rain can speed growth and dry periods can slow it. The exact schedule depends on turf type, irrigation, shade, and local restrictions.

Do I need a landscaper to repair irrigation in Cape Coral?

A basic sprinkler-head replacement may be simple, but full irrigation repairs can involve valves, wiring, pumps, timers, wells, and coverage problems. A landscaper or irrigation professional can test the zones and correct overspray or dry areas instead of guessing at the controller.

What should a Cape Coral landscaping estimate include?

The estimate should identify removal, grading, soil preparation, plants or sod, irrigation changes, lighting, drainage, mulch, labor, cleanup, and follow-up care. It should also state material quantities, payment timing, warranty terms, and who handles any required permits.
