How we rank landscapers in Lewes

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the landscapers category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Local conditions

Hiring landscapers in Lewes: what the local data says

  • 30% of the homes in Sussex County, DE were built in 2010 or later. Newer lots often start with graded fill and little established planting, so soil prep is usually part of the job.
  • 82% of occupied homes in Sussex County, DE are owner-occupied, and 66% of homes are single-family detached houses.
  • The typical last spring frost in Lewes is around March 18 and the first fall frost around November 28, roughly 254 frost-free days. That window is the planting season for most lawns and beds, and spring slots with good crews fill early.
  • Lewes gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year and about 11 inches of snow, and May is typically the wettest month. Drainage and grading problems show up in the wettest month, which is the best time to see where water sits.

Common questions

Landscapers in Lewes: quick answers

How are the landscapers in Lewes ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the landscapers category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best landscaper in Lewes?

Use this list to shortlist two or three landscapers, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a landscaper's license in Delaware?

Licensing in Delaware runs through the Delaware Department of Labor, which registers contractors, and the Division of Professional Regulation, which licenses plumbers, electricians and HVAC technicians. Before hiring anyone in Lewes, check a general contractor in the Department of Labor contractor registry (contractorregistry.delaware.gov), and a plumber, electrician or HVAC technician in the DELPROS license portal (delpros.delaware.gov). Contractors also carry a Delaware business license. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which landscapers serve Lewes?

This page lists Borsello Landscaping, Fare Green, Lewes Lighting LLC, Country Lawn Care, Landscape Freds LLC, Novus Landscapes, Augusta Lawn Care Fredericksburg, Hardscape and Landscaping Professionals and AC Plant & Turf, in ranked order. 7 of the 9 publish a phone number, so you can call those directly; the rest are easiest to reach through their websites.

When is the best time to book landscapers in Lewes?

Going by Lewes's own weather records (typical last spring frost around March 18, first fall frost around November 28), the usual windows are from about March 18 into early summer or before May, usually the wettest month in Lewes. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a landscaper in Lewes

  • Check which Delaware license applies. Delaware licenses some of this work through the Delaware Department of Agriculture, which issues the pesticide business license (for pesticide treatments). Anyone commercially applying fertilizer to more than a quarter acre of turf must be certified by the Delaware Nutrient Management Commission, and anyone applying pesticides must hold a pesticide business license.
  • Written estimates. Any landscaper who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A landscaper who's done work in Downtown or Henlopen Acres will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
