    We focus on creating outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional, durable, and easy to enjoy. From planning through completion, our goal is a seamless experience and a finished space that truly fits your lifestyle.

  • We provide complete outdoor design, construction, and maintenance services, all handled by one team.

    Our services include:

    • Design-build backyard renovations

    • Patios & hardscaping (pavers, natural stone, fire features, walkways, retaining walls)

    • Landscaping & planting design (bed renovations, privacy screening, gardens)

    • Pool installation & pool-centered outdoor living spaces

    • Pool houses, outdoor kitchens, and custom structures

    • Decks, pergolas, and covered patios

    • Outdoor lighting

    • Residential maintenance programs, including fine gardening

    • Fertilization and lawn health services

    From initial design through construction and long-term care, we manage every phase to create a seamless experience and a finished outdoor space that’s easy to enjoy.

  • The first step is scheduling a design consultation.

    This allows us to learn about your property, goals, and vision, answer questions, and outline next steps. From there, we’ll guide you through design, planning, and construction in a clear, organized way.

  • Yes. Josh Landscape Co. is a design-build firm, which means we manage your project from initial design through final installation. Having one team responsible for both design and construction creates a smoother process, clearer communication, and better results—without the stress of coordinating multiple contractors.

  • Backyard renovation costs vary based on size, materials, site conditions, and scope. In the Rochester area, most full backyard renovations typically range from $40,000 to $150,000+.

    Smaller projects like patios or landscape upgrades can be less, while larger, multi-feature spaces fall toward the higher end.

    We help clients understand realistic budgets early so there are no surprises later.

  • Ideally, you should start planning 3–12 months before you want construction to begin.

    Design, budgeting, material selections, and scheduling all take time—especially for custom projects. Planning early also gives you more flexibility and ensures your project fits your goals, your property, and your timeline, rather than rushing decisions during peak season.
