What Does “Full-Service Landscaping” Really Mean?

When you hear “full-service landscaping,” you might think it’s just about planting flowers and laying sod. In reality, it means working with a single team that handles every aspect of your outdoor project, from the initial design to the final installation and all the features in between.

At Ignite Landscapes, our full-service approach ensures a cohesive, high-quality result without the stress of managing multiple contractors.



What services are included in a full-service landscaping project?


A comprehensive full-service plan covers all elements of a landscape, from a new lawn to custom structures. Here’s a breakdown of what that includes:

1. Landscape Design


This is where your vision is transformed into a practical plan. A full-service company creates detailed 2D and 3D designs that show you exactly how the finished space will look and function before any work begins.

2. Hardscaping & Stonework


Hardscaping involves all the non-living elements of your landscape. This includes the installation of:

  • Patios: Durable, stylish surfaces for outdoor dining and lounging.
  • Retaining Walls: Functional and attractive stone walls that manage slopes and define spaces.
  • Pathways: Stone or paver walkways that improve flow and connect different areas of your yard.

3. Outdoor Structures


A full-service provider can build custom structures that extend your living space outdoors. This includes:

4. Plantings & Softscaping


This is the “living” part of your landscape. It involves a strategic selection of plants, trees, and shrubs that thrive in your climate. A full-service project also includes:

5. Landscape Lighting


Lighting adds beauty, safety, and extends the use of your outdoor space into the evening. A full-service company designs and installs a complete lighting plan, including:

  • Pathway lighting
  • Up-lighting for trees and features
  • Hidden LEDs for patios and structures

6. Additional Features


Many projects also incorporate special features to enhance the space. These are integrated seamlessly into the overall design and can include:

  • Fire Pits: A central gathering spot for warmth and ambiance.
  • Water Features: Ponds, fountains, or waterfalls that add a soothing element.
  • Privacy Screens: Structures or plantings that create a secluded feel.


Why choose a full-service company?


Choosing a single team to manage your entire project simplifies the process. You avoid the hassle of coordinating different contractors, and you ensure that every element, from the stonework to the plantings, is designed to work together perfectly. This results in a cohesive and beautiful outdoor space that is built to last.
