Homeowners in Greensboro, North Carolina can call on one of these ten local landscaping companies for design, installation, or regular yard maintenance. Hiring a landscaper here means dealing with clay soils, hot humid summers, and the need for year-round care to keep your yard looking sharp through every season.

Greensboro sits in the Piedmont, where the summers are humid, the winters are mild, and the soil is mostly red clay that holds water after a rain but cracks open when it dries. You get azaleas and dogwoods that light up in spring, but you also get bermudagrass that tries to take over every bed. If you have ever tried to dig a two-foot hole for a new tree and hit clay halfway down, you know what you are up against.

A good landscaper in Greensboro needs to know how to handle that clay, how to set up drainage so your beds do not flood after a thunderstorm, and how to keep everything green through the heat of July. You want someone who can lay out hardscapes that will not shift when the soil does, and who knows which plants will make it through the dog days of summer without a hose running every day.

Who are the best landscaping companies in Greensboro?

Ordered by Google rating weighted against the number of ratings, so a long record of good work outranks a handful of perfect scores. This is a ranking of public feedback, not an endorsement.

1. Green Visions Landscape

5.0 stars from 106 Google reviews.

What customers say:

We've worked with Green Visions on a couple of projects and their crews are always neat & professional. They really may my job easy as a General Contractor. They also have a vast amount of capabilities so they are really a great one stop shop for larger projects that need hardscape, pergolas, landscaping, lighting, irrigation and sod.

Lea Frederick, 2 years ago

Dean James was excellent educating me on the inner workings of irrigation for our vineyard. I can't wait to see the change! We highly recommend them!

Starrlett Smith, 2 years ago

I have been client for more than 10 years. They designed and installed our irrigation system. They also service it annually and make any necessary repairs. They have been Great and you can clearly see the difference in how my system works when I see other irrigation systems operating in the neighborhood. I would Highly recommend them to anyone interested in an irrigation system. Before we installed our irrigation system, I met with 5-6 irrigation companies. Green Visions quote was not the cheapest (but it was competitive). For Quality, you expect to pay a little more!!

What customers say:

It was truly a pleasure working with Jim Keen and his team at New Garden to design both our backyard and front yard from start to finish. Jim made the entire process simple, engaging, and surprisingly enjoyable. What began as a typical new-construction yard—complete with drainage issues and red mud—has been transformed into something truly special. The final result is a dramatic improvement and has become our own private oasis. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Brent Morris, 4 months ago

We had pruning, shaping, weeding, trenching and pine needles done It was our annual end of winter refresh David Armstrong and Antonio Ferman did an OUTSTANDING job! We have a beautiful large Daphne that has freeze shock from this winter. David brought this to my attention and explained what happened and how he would care for it to help it survive David is very knowledgeable and experienced He has done our property for many years and i always know that the shrubbery will be in good hands with him We have several boxwoods and his hand pruning really makes a difference It looked awesome when Antonio and David were done today! They did a great job

Cody, 5 months ago

We couldn’t be happier with our recent landscaping project! The entire crew was outstanding, professional, and a pleasure to have on our property. A special shoutout to Jim for his thoughtful design and flawless implementation. I even caught him out there doing some trimming along the way, which says a lot about his hands-on approach and attention to detail. Terry, Caleb, and Carlos were all fantastic, hardworking, and respectful of our space. An extra thank you to Terry, who kept me updated every single day, clearly took genuine pride and excitement in the project, and made sure everything was tidied up each afternoon, even on the messiest days. The transformation is everything we wanted. What was once outdated and messy now feels elegant, polished, and completely unique with interesting boulders, river rock, and the most beautiful tree ever! I can’t wait to see it all come to life in the spring! From start to finish, this team exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality landscaping work. 🌿

The communication was always very clear and easy. Their clean up process was excellent.The final product was absolutely amazing the photos will be proof of their work. We have never worked with a company that provided us with a vision and confidence that brought us pure joy and satisfaction.

JEFF FISCHER, 4 months ago

Pablo & team at Earth Stone Services were professional from start to finish. I thought about trying to build this double retaining wall myself, but am so happy I found a professional landscape & hardscape experts to handle this retaining wall installation for me. At first, the project estimate seemed high to me, but after watching the team work hard with such discipline & precision, I knew I made the right decision to use Earth Stone Services. They helped with design ideas, kept the work space as clean as possible, and delivered a final product that will likely last longer than my house. Incredible value, high quality work, and a beautiful finish is what you can expect. They offer turnkey services, and I hope to work with them again one day.

evan stanley, 3 months ago

I cannot recommend Pablo and his team with Earthstone Services enough for any hardscape and landscape services. They were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry, quick turnaround with estimate and walked us through our project which included grading, an outdoor fireplace, paver patio, retaining wall with a hot tub and cabana cover. They communicated through the entire process, were on time and were extremely thorough and meticulous in their work. We couldn’t be happier with how it came out and love our outdoor oasis. We will definitely use them in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to friends, family, etc. you will not be disappointed.

4. Lamberg Landscaping

5.0 stars from 57 Google reviews.

What customers say:

Jan and his team were amazing. They were very professional and thorough in their work. I couldn’t be happier with what they did and will definitely be calling them again. 😊

Lucy Chamberlain, 4 months ago

Jan and his team were absolutely amazing - kind, respectful and very knowledgeable! From start to finish they walked us through the entire process, gave recommendations as needed, and delivered exactly what we discussed. Definitely give them a call for all your landscaping needs! We look forward to working with them again in the future!

Amy Floyd, a month ago

I can't recommend this company and the owners Nils and Jan enough! From the very first contact they were professional, polite, respectful and very friendly. I was first impressed by their consistent communication, letting me know when they would be arriving, confirming the work to be done and making and meeting their commitments regarding time and price. The work they did was quick and thorough. I had them clearing a heavily weeded large planting bed and they made small work of it. Satisfied with the job, I then had them come back to mulch the area. On the second visit, I even changed things up asking for additional work and they were great to quickly agree. I believe these guys are of the "under promise, over deliver" mindset because that is exactly what they did. I will definitely be using them again in the future for any major yardwork or landscape projects. Thanks Lamberg Landscaping!

They were professional, friendly and courteous. The craftsmanship and care were outstanding. The job was done on time and on budget with no b.s. or runarounds. Excellent communication and caring throughout the project by the management team. I highly recommend.

Steve Buisson, 6 months ago

We HIGHLY recommend considering Southern Exposure for your landscaping project- we would give the entire team and experience 10 stars if we could!! We started with a blank slate. Zero landscaping on our wooded acreage-- just rocks, dirt and a rough grade. Southern Lights gets credit for the lighting- see their review- magical! We enjoy our outdoor living space and everyone at Southern Exposure made our dream a reality. The team is highly professional and customer-focused from Matt and Katie handling all the bidding and logistic aspects, Brian who was our project manager, and the crew that worked for weeks to make it all come together-- thank you, Seth, Salud, Saul and Carlos!! The pictures fall short of the reality of the gift we get to enjoy every day and what will continue to grow as our landscaping matures. The experience didn't stop when our project was complete- Brian continues to follow up with us and ensure our plants our thriving and we are satisfied. Thank you Southern Exposure for bringing our vision to life and going above and beyond to make it happen!! See "Before" picture to fully appreciate the transformation.

Andy Shoffner, 4 years ago

I would not hesitate to call on them again.

Daniel H, 2 months ago

Highly recommend! Pro Earth Landscaping was recommended from a neighbor and it was one of the best decisions we made! His suggestions and ideas helped us design a fire pit and patio and then additional step walkway along the side of our home. Joe is prompt, courteous and kind to existing neighbors. We can’t say enough about Joe and his crew.

Debbie Barton, 2 years ago

Joe and his team installed two retaining walls, a berm for plants, and a dry river bed in our backyard. Refreshing to work with a company so responsive through all phases of the project and who continually asked for feedback throughout to ensure they were meeting our expectations. Very happy with the end result(s) and will be calling him for future projects. If you have a project, give Joe a chance to earn your business, you’ll be happy you did.

7. Furman Landscaping

5.0 stars from 20 Google reviews.

What customers say:

Jimmy and his guys were my landscapers for over 4 years. Most companies would have walked away due to my obsession with having every plant available 😆 but These guys stuck by me and did an excellent job every time…

Richard Spivey, a year ago

What customers say:

I recently had Jason and Hyai spend the day at my house cutting back overgrown shrubs of all kinds. They did an incredible job....cutting everything by hand and custom trimming so that even the extensive pruning looked natural. I loved that they knew what each plant was and how much they could safely cut it back. They took a dump truck load of limbs and leaves away and left my yard looking beautiful! Thank you, Jason and Hyai.

martha tilyard, a year ago

A great place for mulch! A wonderful knowledgeable staff that can help DIY and Professional gardeners pick out what you need. Delivery is reasonable and timely. They are always my first choice for mulch.

Caleb Hunt, 3 years ago

I should have left this review much sooner, but it slipped my mind until I was recently reminded once again how supportive this team is. Richard and his crew were efficient, knowledgeable, and provided us with quality landscaping work. They continue to be informative and supportive even months after the plant install, often giving very detailed responses to my questions. Unfortunately, there was an issue with one of the plants that were installed (and the issue likely had nothing to do with them but with the supplier of the tree). That being said, when I explained the situation they helped me try to fix it. When the situation proved beyond repair, they immediately worked to rectify the situation in a more than satisfactory way. I plan to continue doing business with them and would highly recommend them to anyone.

9. Landscape Solutions & Design, Inc.

4.2 stars from 25 Google reviews.

No company description is available for Landscape Solutions & Design, Inc. at this time.

What customers say:

My wife and I hired this company to add a Mega-Arbel patio extension, wood-burning fire pit area, landscaping, irrigation and built-in stone grill area. We couldn't be happier with their work and the end result; it really is the backyard oasis we were looking for. The only issue we had was getting work started from the point of deposit to breaking ground; however, we completely understood the schedule delays due to the excessive amount of rain over the winter period. Kostas did a great job of keeping in touch with us, confirming anything before it went into the ground and apprising us of schedule and items complete each day. Beau, Red and the entire crew were outstanding. They sent us photos of progress each day, worked with us if there were any questions, and responded immediately if anything needed to be changed. I would definitely (and already have) recommended this company to others in our neighborhood. I can't say enough how happy we are with how everything turned out (photos included for reference). Thanks again, Kostas, Beau, Red and the whole crew!

Jack Cutrer, 7 years ago

I hired this company to add rock walls on both sides of my stairway entrance and the landing up top to my home, rock work over my garage doors, landscape lighting, all new plants in front of the house and plant two trees in the front of my home. It’s funny, I just started out getting new plants in the front of the house. Kostas Menegakis the owner, explained all the capabilities of his company and I am extremely satisfied with the results. The rock walls on the sides of the stairs were no easy task. This was all custom and skill by Beau’s Crew. They were always up for the challenge. They did a great job as you can see from the photos. I highly recommend Landscape Solutions & Design Inc. for all of your landscape and hardscape needs.

Michael Eller, 6 years ago

Kostas and everyone I talked with were wonderful to work with. They are a very professional and industrious group of people. I did have to wait a while to get started but the timing was explained up front and Kostas kept in touch. The design was created as I requested with some terrific suggestions. The project was started and finished as expected. Everything was cleaned up at the end of the day and at the end of the project. It was completed beyond my expectations. I love my new yard and look forward to enjoying it over the years.

Joseph Borns, a month ago

Hello Google, I am writing this review in regards to the owners business ethics, he told me that he sent my W-2 to my old address, and I asked him to send me the w-2 to my new address and he responded by saying he would only send me another one of the first one came back. I have been trying to get my w-2 with police and small claims court but he won't send it. So I am here letting you the consumer or future employee to be AWARE of this company's ethics.

How do you choose a landscaper in Greensboro?

Choosing a landscaper in Greensboro is about more than just picking the lowest bid. Look for a company with experience working in local soils, and ask what they do to manage drainage and root health. Ask for examples of past work, especially if you want patios or retaining walls that will last through wet and dry cycles. If you need ongoing maintenance, find out how often they visit and how they handle weeds, pests, and fertilization. A good company will walk your property with you, talk through your goals, and give you a clear plan before any work starts.
