Turnkey landscaping refers to a complete, ready-to-use landscaping service where a contractor handles every stage of the project—from design and planning to installation and final cleanup—so the client receives a fully finished outdoor space that’s ready to enjoy immediately.

In other words, it’s a “start-to-finish” solution. The term turnkey means the client can simply “turn the key” and start using their new landscape without needing to manage multiple contractors or handle any part of the process themselves.

Key Features of Turnkey Landscaping:

• Comprehensive service: Includes design, permits, materials, construction, planting, irrigation, lighting, and sometimes even maintenance.

• Single point of contact: One company manages the entire project for seamless coordination.

• Time and cost efficiency: Streamlined process helps avoid delays and unexpected costs.

• Ready for immediate use: The finished landscape is fully functional and visually complete upon handover.

Turnkey landscaping is popular for residential yards, commercial properties, and large developments, offering convenience, consistency, and professional results

The cost of turnkey landscaping can vary widely depending on factors like property size, design complexity, materials, and location. Here’s a general breakdown of price ranges (in USD) to give you an idea: Request A Free Design Consultation

1. Design through Installation

The landscaper handles the full design (or works with the client on design), obtains materials, plants/install features (hardscape, softscape), lighting, irrigation, maybe outdoor living features. The client doesn’t have to manage multiple contractors.

2. All Required Equipment, Tools, Materials

If it’s a business being sold as turnkey, it will include the trucks, trailers, tools, etc., so the new owner can begin operations immediately without needing to acquire those separately.

3. Existing Contracts / Client Base

A turnkey landscaping business will often come with active accounts, maintenance routes, or recurring service contracts. That ensures some immediate revenue.

4. Minimal Need for Client Supervision or Coordination

Since the provider or business being bought turnkey handles most or all aspects, the client or new owner doesn’t need to micromanage different sub-contractors or phases. The goal is a smoother, simpler handover.
