Landscapers perform work on various types of ground. In addition to landscaping the usual areas such as front yards, walkways and other outdoor areas, they perform work on backyards, driveways and parking lots.

Along with baseball fields, football fields, golf courses and other athletic facilities, they work with landscaped areas like picnic areas with benches, greens, trails and other common areas. Repair, installation and maintenance work can be done with structures such as canopies, decks, fences and patios. Other landscaping features may include fountains, ponds, waterfalls and areas around swimming pools. Terraces and planters and areas around curbs and sidewalks are also landscaped.

No matter whether your landscape contains bushes, flowers or just grass, landscaped services can accommodate any need. For lawns; sod, soil, turf and seeds are applied by contractors for creating a yard. Trees and plants may be added for variety. Hedges can be planted to act as fences. Mulch is at around trees and shrubs to cover the dirt.

For a lower maintenance solution, stone, gravel and sand can be used to replace grass and other vegetation. This can also cut down on water use.

If weeds or pests are a problem, the landscaper can help by applying herbicides and pesticides to affected areas such as masonry.

In winter, they apply salt to driveways and walkways.

If decorating is in your plans or projects, they can help with ornaments and other accessories.
