10 Landscaping Companies in McKinney, Texas

Compare 10 McKinney landscaping companies and learn what to ask before hiring help for your Texas yard

A McKinney homeowner should call a landscaper whose services match the job, whether that means lawn care, pest control, outdoor living design, irrigation, trees, or maintenance. Hiring one usually involves a property visit, written scope, material and timing decisions, an estimate, and a plan for follow-up care through North Texas heat.

The right McKinney landscaper depends on the job, from lawn treatments and mowing to drainage, planting, lighting, stonework, and a full outdoor living space. This directory gives homeowners ten local companies to compare before requesting an estimate.

McKinney yards face hot summers, sudden winter freezes, spring storms, and heavy North Texas clay that can hold water one week and bake hard the next. Bermuda and St. Augustine lawns may struggle with weeds, grubs, fungal problems, shade, compacted soil, and irrigation that misses the root zone.

Look closely at the scope before signing anything. A pretty planting plan still needs soil preparation, sensible watering, and plants that can handle McKinney's long heat, because even the toughest yard can lose a fight with poor drainage and a sprinkler aimed at the sidewalk.

Who are the best landscaping companies in McKinney?

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.

What customers say:

We recently signed up for Green Gecko’s lawn, tree and shrub care services The technicians the company sent were Andrew for lawn care and Kerry for Shrub and tree care. Both of them were very friendly and professional. Not only did they complete their actions smoothly and efficiently, but both of them explained in detail what they had performed and what we should post the service. This was also documented in the visit report and an email with all this was sent to me for my ready and future reference. Green Gecko, Andrew and Terry were fantasti! Thank you !

Chetan Salian, 6 months ago

Turning out to be one of the worst decisions Ever! Have spoken to their customer service 5x and they keep assuring me they will be out. Weeds are thriving. Have sent many pictures! Even had one of their sales people show up because the weeds were so bad trying to resell their service. I told him we already used them. Now have complaints coming from out HOA! TERRIBLE FOLLOWUP!

randy comer, 5 months ago

Gecko Green did an amazing job helping me get rid of a major weed infestation in my yard. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the treatment process. After their service, I noticed a significant improvement, and my lawn looks healthier than it has in a long time. They were reliable, responsive, and delivered exactly what they promised. I highly recommend Gecko Green to anyone looking for effective lawn care and weed control services!

Aaron has been our tech from Weedex for well over a year and he takes really good care of us. I constantly get compliments from our neighbors on how nice our yard looks now over when we moved in. It isn't our doing, it is between Aaron and our mowing service. We had bad bald spots all over the yard and now it is a beautiful plush Bermuda carpet. Thank you Aaron and thank you Weedex!

Kristin Morales, a year ago

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Weedex! We have been using Weedex for 20 years and consistently year after year we have had great results. During the last two visits we've had a new technician, Jesus, he is wonderful! He is professional, knowledgeable, and super friendly. Thank you for keeping my lawn looking. It's best all these years.

3. Green-Go

4.8 stars from 142 Google reviews.

Green-Go is described by a customer as providing quality yard and flower-bed work, responsive help, and courteous billing support. The account also mentions assistance selecting flowers, shrubs, and stonework, along with finished spaces that receive compliments.

What customers say:

We had Green-Go do new stone border around our flower beds in the front along with revamping the whole area. They did a fantastic job. Treyson was super easy to work with, was incredibly responsive, and didn't mind us making tweaks and changes as we went. The actual install was pretty painless. They salvaged as much as they could from our previous bushes and trees and then supplemented with huge upgrades. Even in the plant selection, they let us have a blank canvas and where they could source things they did and where we found specific plants we wanted it was easy to coordinate and they planted. In particular I want to highlight the completion to 100% satisfaction. After the main team had come in and done most of the work, Treyson came out and made sure everything was perfect. A few small details they had missed, Treyson made right. We really appreciate this commitment. Other contractors in the past have done letter of the agreement only and then ran to the next job as soon as possible. To have Treyson make sure everything was done 100% right was a breath of fresh air and a testament to the credibility and integrity of him and Green-Go. All in all, they did a fantastic job and we think their handiwork adds tremendous curb appeal and structure to the front of our house. We 5/5 recommend them.

Christian Ricks, a month ago

Green-Go did a fantastic job on our landscaping! We have used them for years and have had a wonderful experience. They are responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and timely.

4. Pristine Landscaping & Lighting

4.7 stars from 107 Google reviews.

Pristine Landscaping & Lighting designs custom outdoor living areas and hardscapes in McKinney. Its work can include fire-pit gathering spaces and outdoor kitchens, with attention to layout, materials, home style, and how a family plans to use the yard.

What customers say:

We recently had a significant amount of work done in our yard, which included removing all the old grass, installing new sod, and adding gravel and paving stones to a side yard that had always been a mess and wouldn't grow anything. We also had a stone retaining wall built and extensive drainage work completed. Before choosing Pristine, we had multiple other contractors provide bids. We never felt comfortable that they could actually correct the issues we had, or at least not in a way that made us confident we would love the result enough to pay what we were going to pay. When Josh showed up to go over everything, he provided a vision that worked well for our space and we felt confident in his ability to deliver. Patrick and the team did a wonderful job delivering exactly what was described. The project remained on budget, was finished on time, and the team was great to work with throughout the process. We are very happy with how it turned out.

Josh Riddle, 5 months ago

My front lawn needed an upgrade and fresh look, so I hired Pristine Landscaping and the project was done exactly how I pictured it. I worked with Joshua and told him the look we wanted, he gave his input and fast quote. His team (Patrick and crew) were attentive and friendly. They got to work right away and cleaned up soon after. I’m completely satisfied and would hire again for a future project. The company and its employees are professional and very friendly.

Stacey Liboy, a year ago

We had landscaping and lighting package done after our pool builder had finished. Joshua was helpful and had some good ideas for shrub and planting. options for the backyard. We also had stone borders and some shrubs replaced at the front of the house. Very happy with the work completed by Josh and his team.

4.8 stars from 78 Google reviews.

Green-Grounds describes an environmentally minded lawn-care approach based on integrated pest management. Its program combines targeted product use with weed control, fertilization, insect and disease management, proper mowing, and correct watering to support healthier grass.

What customers say:

My neighbors and I were fed up with our previous lawn fertilizer company. We finally had enough, and we were so lucky to have found Green Grounds based on their wonderful reviews. Robert came out a little over a year ago, and he agreed, our lawns needed some serious attention. One year later, and my neighbors and I commented we don’t think our lawns have EVER looked better. Robert’s crew that handles our area, Cory the Tech Manager, and Jonathan have done a beautiful job to get our lawns healthy, and looking fantastic! I highly recommend Green Grounds, if you are in need of a healthy and great looking yard! They are the best! Stay away from the big brand companies, and go local with Green Grounds! They have the greatest customer service from Robert, to Cory, to Jonathan, and the nicest office manager Deanna!

Eddie P, a year ago

Green Grounds had been my lawn service provider for 3 years and I received so many compliments on my lawn. They were responsive and always customer friendly. I recently moved and they do not come out to my new area and I realize how lucky I was to have them!

Irene Chavira, 9 months ago

I can’t recommend Green-Grounds enough they are awesome! Completely transformed our yard and we get so many compliments on how great it looks. Not only does our yard look exceptional but the service provided by Robert and Deanna are great too! So glad our neighbors recommended Green-Grounds to us, they will always have our business!

7. B&C, LLC

4.8 stars from 69 Google reviews.

B&C Landscaping works with residential and commercial properties in McKinney and nearby communities across the DFW metroplex. Its stated service area includes Collin County locations such as Frisco, Prosper, Plano, and Allen, along with several other North Texas communities.

What customers say:

I had a $6000 dollar project done by this family business in January of this year (2026). I went with them because they were a business that’s been serving the community for 23yrs. I like supporting family businesses. It’s been only 7 months and I’ve been having issues with the sprinkler system they put in. Joshua, a nice guy and tries to help as much as possible, advised me it’ll be an extra cost for them to come out and just look at the work they did. I explained to him what was going on and that it hasn’t even been a year since the installation, so he advised me to buy clamps at Home Depot to fix the problem of the hoses popping out of place. For 6000 dollars I expect them to at least come see what the issue is. I called the office because the water was coming from underground and bursting up. Melissa advised me it’ll be 150 dollars just to come out and look at the job they did. My water bill has increased because of this occurring issue. SHOPPER BEWARE before using this family owned business. They may have lost their customer service and hospitality throughout the years. I feel any customer spending 5000+ on work in less than a year and is having issues should be granted at least a free visit to see what the problem is… UPDATE The owner and staff reached out to me. They came out at my earliest convenience to check the issue, free of charge. It seems it’s just the hose that they have that unfortunately does this in the summertime. The tech that came out was super nice and advised me what to do if it occurred again (hopefully it doesn’t). He also adjusted the water pressure. Hopefully this is the fix. Thank you to the techs that came out!

I wanted to leave a review to thank B&C for the hard work on paver patio install. They seemed to be the only company that was willing to provide a service and a business like the website suggests. JD, was a great rep, communicated well, and he showed up as originally agreed on. He was not like all the multiple other companies that required minimum fees I contacted about providing an estimate then ghost, not communicate, or even show up as originally agreed on. So many thanks to JD and the B&C team. Recommend them over any other company simply because they can communicate well and actually show up and provide a service.

Charles Gamble, 11 months ago

We were dealing with really bad washout on the side of our house. B&C provided us with a reasonably priced river rock resolution. Josh was professional and easy to work with.

8. Pristine Landscaping & Lighting

4.6 stars from 79 Google reviews.

Pristine Landscaping & Lighting creates custom outdoor living spaces and hardscapes in McKinney. The company describes projects ranging from fire-pit areas to outdoor kitchens and says its process covers layout, material selection, and features suited to the property and the family's outdoor routines.

What customers say:

Overall experience with Pristine was positive and I will consider them for any future projects. The good: From first contact to final results the personnel were responsive and professional. They replied quickly after the quote request, were able to have someone out to discuss the project, get me a quote, and schedule the project all within a couple days. Personnel were polite and professional with every interaction answering my questions. They estimated 2-3 days for entire project and completed in 4 days due to 100+ degree weather. Personally happy they took the extra time to avoid heat stroke. I'm pleased with the end result and overall look. The bad: Cleanup after the project could have been better. I found a couple pieces of rebar left in the yard longer than 1ft. Multiple large pieces of stone and concrete left behind as well. The placement of the siding on the rock feature in the back yard has large gap between the siding and the feature. Not sure if this was intentional and needs filling, bad placement, or as intended. Half the anchors on the siding weren't pushed down all the way. The siding anchors aren't necessarily a big deal as it will only take a few minutes with a hammer to get knocked into place. There are some dead spots in the grass where materials were sitting during the project as well as a dead spot where it looks like something was spilled. Not overly concerned about the grass dead spots as it will grow back over time. Verdict: I would definitely recommend Pristine for landscaping projects. Just make sure to ask all your questions and maybe do a more thorough check after work is done than I did.

Pristine Landscape & Lighting did an excellent job replacing our sod and sprucing up our flower beds with moss rock bordering and new flowers!!! Professional service, great communication, and they finished ahead of schedule. We're ready for Spring!!!

Matt Mayer, 6 months ago

We started with a completely blank slate in our front yard, and Josh and his team truly brought my vision to life. From start to finish, they were prompt, professional, and courteous. Their attention to detail and ability to transform ideas into reality exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping.

9. Fletcher Outdoor Solutions

4.9 stars from 57 Google reviews.

Fletcher Outdoor Solutions provides residential and commercial landscaping, including custom design, installation, stonework, irrigation, and maintenance. The company says its team adapts projects to each property and uses quality materials and established techniques for lasting results.

What customers say:

Fletcher Outdoor Solutions did an outstanding job completing a drainage mitigation solution for our HOA common area walking path. Will, the owner, was professional, knowledgeable, and he and his team were very thorough throughout the entire process. One thing I especially appreciated was that Will asked to be called back during the rainy season so he could see the drainage problem at its worst before making his recommendation. That showed real expertise and a commitment to providing the right long-term solution, not just a quick fix. The project included regrading the area, placing a drain adjacent to the walking path, and installing a 40-foot underground pipe to carry water to a nearby creek. Will also resurfaced the crushed granite along the entire length of the walking path, leaving the area clean, functional, and greatly improved. We are very pleased with the quality of work and would highly recommend Fletcher Outdoor Solutions. Darlene Judy President, Ascot Heath Home Owners Association

Darlene Judy, 5 months ago

Will and Fletcher Outdoors are amazing. He came out same day. Gave me multiple options to choose from and had his crew out the next day to lay sod. Price was very fair and crew was extremely professional and efficient. Pictures show before and after and it looks amazing!

Matt Thomas, 5 months ago

Fletcher Outdoor did an incredible job on our full backyard remodel which included patio extension with porcelain tile, 300 sq ft elevated putting green, artificial turf, flower beds, and rock side yards. Owner Will Fletcher was responsive, professional, and on-site daily. His project manager Francisco kept us updated every step, and the whole crew was hardworking and respectful of our home. Especially appreciated that they cleaned up at the end of each day communicated what to expect next day (start times, what they would be working on, what they are planning to finish by the end of the day). In just a week, they completely transformed our yard from a muddy mess into a beautiful outdoor living space. What a blessing to our family you all have been, highly recommend Fletcher Outdoor!

How do you choose a landscaper in McKinney?

Start with the problem, not the brochure. A lawn treatment company may be the right fit for weeds and insects, while a hardscape contractor is better suited to patios, fire features, outdoor kitchens, or stonework. If a company offers several services, ask who handles each part and how the work will be coordinated.

Ask for a written scope that names the plants, materials, quantities, preparation work, irrigation changes, cleanup, and expected schedule. McKinney soil can punish vague plans. If the proposal skips drainage, grading, or watering, ask why before the crew arrives.

Compare these basics before choosing:

Project need Questions to ask Trade-off to expect
Lawn care Which grass, weeds, insects, or diseases are being treated? Regular treatments cost less time for the homeowner, but create an ongoing service commitment.
Planting and beds Will the soil be amended, and how will new plants be watered? Better preparation costs more upfront and can prevent replacement costs later.
Hardscape or outdoor living Who handles layout, materials, drainage, and permits if needed? Larger projects take more time, money, and disruption than a simple refresh.
Irrigation and water use Will the system be audited, repaired, or redesigned? Efficient watering may require new equipment before it lowers waste.
Maintenance What is included after installation, and what is billed separately? A maintained yard looks steadier, but requires a recurring budget.

Read the estimate slowly. Confirm payment stages, warranty language, plant replacement rules, weather delays, and who removes old materials. Ask for recent local examples, then make sure the proposed design fits your sunlight, soil, pets, budget, and the amount of yard work you actually want to do on a Saturday.

Frequently asked questions

How much does landscaping cost in McKinney, Texas?

The price depends on the work. Lawn treatments and maintenance are usually recurring services, while planting, irrigation, drainage, patios, stonework, and outdoor kitchens require project estimates. Ask for a written scope that separates labor, materials, soil preparation, cleanup, and follow-up care.

What is the best grass for a McKinney yard?

Bermuda is often a strong choice for sunny McKinney lawns because it handles heat and drought well once established. St. Augustine can work in suitable warm, partly shaded areas but generally needs more consistent moisture. Soil, shade, drainage, mowing, and irrigation matter as much as the grass type.

When should I plant landscaping in McKinney?

Fall and early spring are generally the easiest seasons for establishing many trees, shrubs, and perennials. Avoid rushing tender plants into the ground before the last hard freeze, and be cautious with summer planting because new roots face heat, drying wind, and high watering demands.

How do I choose a landscaping company in McKinney?

Match the company to the job, then compare written scopes, recent local work, materials, timing, maintenance terms, warranties, and payment schedules. Ask how the plan addresses North Texas clay, drainage, irrigation, summer water needs, and plant survival after installation.
