Landscaping & Lawn Care in Boise, Idaho
Boise's diverse neighborhoods each have distinct landscaping character — mature trees and established gardens in the North End, desert-inspired xeriscape in newer hillside developments, and traditional lawns throughout the Bench. Boise's alkaline soils and just 12 inches of annual rainfall mean irrigation planning and soil amendment are essential for any planting to thrive long-term.
Every contractor has been checked for active local presence and is licensed and insured.

Common Questions About Landscaping & Lawn Care in Boise
How much does lawn care cost in the Treasure Valley?
Weekly mowing for an average residential yard runs $35-$60 per visit. Lawn aeration costs $100-$200. Full landscape installs vary widely — small beds run $500-$2,000 and full yard designs with irrigation can run $5,000-$20,000+. Get 2-3 written quotes for any project over $500.
When should I aerate my lawn in Idaho?
Cool-season grasses common in the Treasure Valley do best with fall aeration (September-October) when the grass is actively growing and recovering. Spring aeration is also done but can stress turf going into summer. Ask your lawn care company which schedule fits your grass type.
Do I need a permit for landscaping work in Idaho?
General lawn maintenance and planting do not require permits. However, irrigation system installation, retaining walls over a certain height, and grading work may require permits from your city. A reputable landscaper will know what applies to your project and handle the permitting.
