Lawn Service vs. Landscaping: What’s the Difference?

While both lawn services and landscaping companies can help maintain your outdoor space, there are key differences between the two:

Lawn Service

· Focus: Primarily focused on maintaining lawns and basic lawn care tasks.

· Services: Typically includes mowing, edging, trimming, and sometimes fertilization and weed control.

· Scope: Limited to lawn-related tasks.

Landscaping

· Focus: Encompasses a broader range of outdoor space maintenance and design.

· Services: Can include lawn care, but also hardscaping (patios, walkways), softscaping (planting, pruning, and garden design), and other specialized services like water features or lighting.

· Scope: Offers a more comprehensive approach to outdoor space management.

In Summary:

Feature Lawn Service Landscaping

Focus Lawn care Outdoor space maintenance and design

Services Mowing, edging, trimming, etc. Lawn care, hardscaping, soft scaping, and more

Scope Limited to lawn-related tasks Comprehensive approach to outdoor space management

Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your specific needs and budget. If you simply need your lawn mowed and edged, a lawn service might be sufficient. However, if you’re looking for a more complete transformation of your outdoor space, a landscaping company would be a better fit.

Cumming Lawn Service started out more focused on lawn service. We focused on maintaining lawn related services, mowing, edging, string trimming, etc. We have always offered pruning, pine straw and mulch services as well. As the years has passed, we realized that our clients needed our trust in a broader area than just lawn services. In 2016 we expanded into more areas such as lawn installations and bed renovations. We see so many landscapes that have been butchered by large plants in the wrong places. We try to help the homeowners in the Cumming, Alpharetta, and Milton Georgia areas by removing the overgrown plants and renovate their landscape with plants, trees, and shrubs that will fit in the area they have. By doing this we have gained trust with more and more homeowners across this area.

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, we have now added outdoor living spaces into our services as well. We do not offer a full range of these services but patios, firepits, sitting areas, walkways etc.

We are still known and will be known as Cumming Lawn Service but have evolved into a more full landscape service company. We hope to meet you and help you with your landscape soon.
