Lawn Care and Yard Maintenance on Hilton Head
For weekly or monthly upkeep, Prestige Landscaping Maintenance, Island Environments and The Greenery all maintain properties, and Hilton Head Landscapes offers maintenance plans as well as design. Ask what each visit includes: mowing, edging, beds, pine straw, pruning and fertilizing are often priced separately.
Before removing a large tree, ask whether the Town or your owners’ association has to approve it; for removals, see the tree service section of home services on Hilton Head Island.
Irrigation and Drainage
Island Environments reviewers describe irrigation maintained for years and a drainage problem fixed with a new system, and Prestige installs and repairs irrigation. A sudden jump in the water bill can be a broken sprinkler line; turn the irrigation off to see whether the meter still moves.
For a leak inside the house instead, see the best plumbers on Hilton Head.
Island Plant Nurseries and Landscape Design
Bruno Landscape & Nursery runs a four-acre retail nursery next to its design business, and The Green Thumb sells plants and installs them, including large palms. Both are on Dillon Road.
Salt air, deer and sandy soil limit what thrives here, so ask the nursery what does well in your part of the island before you buy.
For native plants, ask each nursery what it stocks; the South Carolina Native Plant Society keeps a list of native plant sources. In Bluffton, Sunshine Hardscape, Landscape & Nursery on Plantation Park Drive is a design-build landscaping firm with a retail nursery, and Taylors sells landscape supplies and nursery plants; see landscaping in Bluffton.
Landscaping for Vacation Rentals and Second Homes
A rental’s yard is in every listing photo. Book a regular maintenance plan and ask crews to avoid check-in and check-out times and early mornings; one Hilton Head Landscapes reviewer asked for quieter blowers in the morning.
