Create Your Dream Outdoor Living Space
Custom Landscape Design and Installation
Creating a cohesive landscape begins with thoughtful design that balances aesthetics, functionality, and environmental sustainability. Our landscape architects work directly with homeowners to develop comprehensive plans that reflect personal style while maximizing the potential of each property.
Our design process includes site analysis to evaluate soil conditions, sun exposure patterns, existing drainage, and microclimates unique to your property. We incorporate hydrozoning principles recommended by the EPA’s WaterSense program (https://www.epa.gov/watersense/outdoors), grouping plants with similar water requirements together to maximize irrigation efficiency and reduce water waste.
Design services encompass plant selection featuring drought-tolerant and native species appropriate for Northern Nevada, hardscape planning for patios, walkways, and retaining walls, outdoor lighting design for safety and ambiance, and integration of functional spaces for dining, recreation, and relaxation.
Benefits of Professional Residential Landscaping
Increased Property Value and Curb Appeal- Professional landscaping represents one of the most effective home improvement investments available to homeowners. Research from the National Association of Realtors indicates that landscape upgrades consistently rank among the top home improvement projects for recovering investment costs at resale, with some projects recovering over 100 percent of their cost.
Reduced Energy Costs-Strategic landscape design significantly impacts home energy efficiency by moderating temperatures around your property. The U.S. Department of Energy (https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/landscaping-energy-efficient-homes) reports that properly positioned trees and shrubs can reduce air conditioning costs by 15 to 50 percent and heating costs by up to 25 percent.
Extended Living and Entertainment Space- Professional landscaping effectively expands your home’s usable square footage by creating functional outdoor rooms suitable for daily activities and entertaining. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces accommodate gatherings, relaxation, dining, recreation, and hobbies that would otherwise require indoor space or trips to public venues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About Our Residential Landscaping Services
Find answers to common questions about our residential landscaping, lawn care, and maintenance services in Reno and Northern Nevada.
What is the best time of year to install new landscaping in Reno?
Spring (late March through May) and fall (September through October) offer optimal planting conditions in Northern Nevada. These seasons provide moderate temperatures that reduce plant stress while allowing root systems to establish before summer heat or winter cold arrives. Spring planting gives plants an entire growing season to develop strong roots, while fall planting takes advantage of cooler temperatures and allows plants to focus energy on root growth rather than foliage production.
How often should I water my lawn in Reno?
The Truckee Meadows Water Authority assigns specific watering days based on address numbers—homes with even-ending addresses water Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, while odd-numbered addresses water Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Mondays serve as system rest days. Water during early morning or late evening hours when temperatures are coolest to minimize evaporation, and avoid watering between noon and 6 p.m.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, American Lawn and Landscaping LLC is fully licensed and insured in the state of Nevada. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect both our clients and our team. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.
How much does residential landscaping cost in Northern Nevada?
Residential landscaping costs vary significantly based on project scope, materials selected, and property size. Basic lawn installation typically ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot, while comprehensive landscape designs including hardscape elements, irrigation systems, and premium plantings can range from $15 to $50 or more per square foot. We provide detailed written estimates following site consultations so homeowners understand exactly what their investment includes.
How much does landscaping cost in Reno?

What's the best time of year to landscape in Reno?
In Northern Nevada, the best times for landscaping projects are spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when temperatures are moderate and plants establish more easily. However, we work year-round and can advise on the best timing for your specific project. Irrigation work can be done most of the year, while major plantings are best scheduled for milder seasons.
Do you offer ongoing lawn maintenance contracts?
Yes! We offer flexible weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly maintenance programs for both residential and commercial properties. Our maintenance services include mowing, edging, trimming, blowing, seasonal clean-ups, irrigation monitoring, and more. Contract clients also receive priority scheduling and discounted rates on additional services.
Can you help with xeriscaping or drought-tolerant landscaping?
Absolutely! Given Reno’s high desert climate, we specialize in water-efficient landscaping solutions. We can design and install beautiful xeriscaped yards featuring native plants, decorative rock, efficient drip irrigation, and drought-tolerant species that thrive in our environment while significantly reducing water usage and maintenance needs.

Yes, we offer reliable commercial and residential snow removal services throughout the Reno-Sparks area during winter months. We can set up seasonal contracts to ensure your property remains safe and accessible after every snowfall, or provide on-call service as needed.

Smart irrigation controllers with weather sensors help optimize watering schedules and reduce waste. During your consultation, we’ll assess your property and recommend the most water-efficient system for your specific landscape needs.
