Charleston Lawn Care & Landscaping
CHS Contracting is a veteran owned lawn care and landscaping company in Charleston, SC. We handle plant, tree and flower installation, sod, mulch and pinestraw, fertilization, seasonal color, and ongoing maintenance across the Charleston metro, with free estimates and a satisfaction guarantee on every job.
A healthy lawn and a clean set of beds do more for a property than almost anything else. We start by reading your yard, the sun and shade, the drainage, and how you actually use the space, then we install grass, plants, and color that suit it and keep it that way with a maintenance plan that fits how hands on you want to be.
Because we are a full service outdoor company, your lawn and planting work tie into the rest of the property. The beds, the sod, the mulch, the irrigation that keeps it alive in August, and any hardscape around it all get planned together instead of by separate crews who never coordinate.
What We Build
Full lawn care and landscaping across the Charleston area.
Plant, Tree & Flower Installation
Lowcountry friendly plantings, shade trees, shrubs, and flowers chosen to thrive in Charleston sun, shade, and soil.
Sod Installation
Fresh sod in Zoysia, St. Augustine, Centipede, or Bermuda, laid over prepped soil for a yard that fills in fast.
Mulch & Pinestraw
Mulch and pinestraw that lock in moisture, hold back weeds, and give your beds a clean, finished edge.
Fertilization
Targeted fertilization programs that feed the grass and beds your soil and grass type actually need.
Seasonal Color
Rotating seasonal flowers and color beds that keep the front of your property looking sharp all year.
Maintenance Packages
Ongoing mowing, trimming, edging, and bed care packages that keep everything looking its best year round.
Lawns & Landscapes Built For The Lowcountry
Charleston heat, humidity, and salt air decide what survives in your yard.
The right plants make all the difference here. Palmetto, live oak, azalea, camellia, and muhly grass are Lowcountry staples for a reason, they handle our climate and look the part. We lean on plant and tree choices that suit the coast instead of fighting it, so your landscape fills in and holds up instead of struggling through every summer.
Grass is the same story. Zoysia, St. Augustine, Centipede, and Bermuda each have a place depending on sun, shade, and traffic, and the wrong pick thins out fast in our heat and humidity. We match the sod to your yard, then keep it looking sharp year round with fertilization, seasonal color, and a maintenance plan built for Charleston conditions.
Choose the Landscape Work You Need
Landscape installation and ongoing maintenance are different scopes. Describe whether you need new planting, sod, refreshed beds, cleanup or recurring care so the estimate can match the property.
