Commercial Landscaping in Lexington, SC
A guide to the 59 commercial landscaping companies serving Lexington, SC, covering what the work involves, what to check before hiring, and how our rankings work.
Commercial landscaping covers the ongoing grounds care that office parks, retail centers, HOAs, churches, and municipal properties around Lexington rely on: mowing and edging on a set schedule, seasonal color rotations, irrigation checks, mulch and pine straw refreshes, shrub and tree pruning, storm cleanup, and often fertilization or pest control programs run alongside the mowing crew. Some companies also handle hardscape and landscape construction work such as new plant beds, drainage fixes, or parking lot islands when a property gets renovated. It's a different scope than residential lawn care: contracts are usually written for a season or year, crews are larger, and the work has to happen around business hours or foot traffic without causing a mess or a liability headache.
With 59 companies competing for this work in the Lexington area, the gap between a crew that shows up on time with the right equipment and one that doesn't is wide. Before signing anything, ask about crew size and equipment (commercial-grade mowers, not homeowner tools), whether they carry commercial liability insurance and workers' comp, how they handle irrigation and drainage issues, and what a missed-visit or damage policy looks like. Get references from properties of similar size, not just single-family yards.
Our scores weigh licensing and insurance, years in business, review consistency, and how a company responds when something goes wrong, so you can compare the 59 options on more than star count alone.

Common questions about commercial landscaping
- How much does commercial landscaping cost in Lexington, SC?
- Most commercial contracts are priced per visit or as a monthly flat rate based on square footage, number of beds, and service frequency. Small office properties often run a few hundred dollars a month for basic mowing and bed maintenance, while larger retail centers or HOAs with irrigation, seasonal color, and tree work can run well into four figures monthly. Get a walk-through quote rather than a phone estimate, since bed count and turf area drive the price more than acreage alone.
- How often does a commercial property need service?
- Weekly mowing is standard through the growing season (roughly April through October in this area), often dropping to biweekly or monthly in winter. Mulch is typically refreshed once or twice a year, shrubs pruned on a seasonal schedule, and irrigation checked at spring startup and before winter shutdown. Properties with heavy street visibility or seasonal color programs may want a tighter schedule.
- What should I expect during the first month with a new landscaping company?
- Expect an initial site walk to document existing conditions, a written scope of work covering exactly what's included (mowing, edging, blowing, bed maintenance, irrigation, etc.), and a schedule. A good company will flag existing problems like dead turf, irrigation leaks, or drainage issues up front rather than after they start, so there's no dispute later about what was already broken.
- How can I judge the quality of a commercial landscaper before hiring?
- Ask to see current commercial accounts you can drive by, not just photos. Check that their crews use commercial-grade equipment and that edges are cut clean, not just mowed over. Confirm they carry general liability and workers' comp insurance and ask how they communicate when something needs attention between scheduled visits, since responsiveness is usually where lower-tier crews fall short.
