Frequently asked questions
How much does landscaping cost in Oklahoma City?
A complete front-yard redesign in the OKC metro (sod, beds, irrigation, plants, mulch) runs $4,000–$12,000 for a typical 1/4-acre lot. Backyard adds similar. Most homeowners phase the work — front yard year 1, irrigation year 2, hardscape year 3 — to spread cost over 2–3 seasons.
What grass is best for OKC lawns?
Bermuda is the dominant warm-season grass for OKC (full sun, drought-tolerant, heat-resistant). Shaded lots use Zoysia or St. Augustine. Tall fescue is the only viable cool-season option and needs more water. A landscape designer will evaluate sun exposure before recommending.
When should I install a sprinkler system in OKC?
Late fall through early spring is the install window — before sod root systems are stressed by summer heat. A typical OKC residential sprinkler install runs $3,500–$7,500 for a 1/4 acre with 6–10 zones, smart controller, and rain sensor. Oklahoma City permits irrigation installs; reputable companies pull the permit.
What plants survive Oklahoma summers?
Native and adapted: black-eyed Susan, lantana, salvia, Russian sage, knockout roses, crepe myrtle, oakleaf hydrangea, eastern red cedar. Avoid: hostas, azaleas (need pH-low soil), most boxwoods (boxwood blight). A landscape designer planning for our clay alkaline soil and 100°F summers will save you 3 replant cycles.
Should I get a landscape designer or just a landscaper?
For >$5,000 projects, the designer's fee ($500–$1,500) pays for itself in plant survival and cohesive layout. For lawn-care + minor bed maintenance only, a regular landscaper at $80–$150/month is fine. Most OKC firms offer both services.
