Landscaping & Hardscape in Baton Rouge, LA
Baton Rouge landscapers in this directory cover Garden District, Spanish Town, the Country Club, and surrounding East Baton Rouge Parish. Louisiana's hot humid summers, occasional hard freezes, and rich alluvial soils support a wide plant palette. Mid-range Baton Rouge back yards (paver patio, plantings, and grading) run $18,000-$32,000. Larger landscapes typically land $50,000-$120,000.
Louisiana's heavy clay soils require crowning grades and downspout extensions for drainage. Baton Rouge's flood-prone topography means landscape designs must respect existing grading patterns. Native plant palette includes live oak, magnolia, southern magnolia, sweet olive, camellia, azalea.

- How do I deal with Baton Rouge heavy clay?
- Crown grades 2% away from the house, extend downspouts, and amend the top 6 inches of bed soil with 1/3 compost before planting. Avoid clay-on-clay — paver patios need 6-8 inches of compacted gravel base.
