Jose Ramos Landscaping is a residential design and maintenance contractor operating in Oklahoma City, handling everything from initial landscape design to seasonal upkeep and hardscape installation.
The company manages both one-time design projects and recurring maintenance contracts for homeowners across Oklahoma City. Work ranges from bed preparation and planting through mulching, lawn care, and irrigation system installation. The business handles the full arc of a landscape job rather than specializing in a single phase, which suits homeowners who want one point of contact from concept to maintenance.
Design work typically starts with a site consultation and proposal; pricing for design varies by project complexity and lot size, so estimates are project-specific. Maintenance contracts run on monthly or seasonal schedules. Spring cleanup and fall cleanup are separate service tiers; spring runs roughly March through May and includes bed preparation, mulching, and new plantings. Fall service (September through November) covers leaf removal, bed cutback, and winterization prep. Year-round maintenance packages cover mowing, edging, blowing, and basic weeding on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. Pricing for recurring service depends on property size and frequency; a typical small residential lot on a bi-weekly schedule costs between $120 and $180 per visit, though this varies. Request a specific quote for your address and desired services, as Oklahoma City properties range widely in size.
Hardscape work (patios, retaining walls, walkways) is quoted separately and typically costs more upfront but requires less ongoing maintenance than planted areas.
Ramos differs from larger national franchises like TruGreen, which operate across OKC but charge higher per-visit rates (typically $200 and up for maintenance) and emphasize chemical lawn treatments. Ramos typically uses organic or minimal-chemical approaches and offers more customized design input. For homeowners wanting design without long-term maintenance contracts, independent designers like those advertising through the Oklahoma Landscape Contractors Association may cost more per hour but allow one-off projects. Ramos suits homeowners who value consistency, prefer working with a known local operator, and want both design and maintenance from the same crew. Choose a large franchise if you want standardized service across multiple properties or need specialized pest management; choose Ramos if you want a smaller, relationship-based operation with flexibility on project scope.
Ramos works best for homeowners who want personalized attention, are willing to discuss their landscape goals directly, and prefer a single contractor managing ongoing care. It suits properties in the 0.25 to 1-acre range, where one crew can handle maintenance efficiently. It is less suited to commercial properties, large estates requiring specialized crews, or homeowners who want only one-time design with no follow-up maintenance.
Contact the business directly to schedule a consultation. A representative will visit your property, discuss your goals (shade, curb appeal, low maintenance, specific plantings), assess soil, sun exposure, and existing features, and provide a written estimate. If you proceed, a project timeline is set based on seasonality and current schedule. Maintenance contracts typically begin with a spring cleanup or fall preparation, depending on when you sign.
The business operates during standard landscaping season (March through November in Oklahoma City). Appointments are scheduled by phone or email. Parking is not an issue since work occurs on your property. Confirm current availability and off-season contact options directly, as seasonal businesses adjust availability.
Ramos fills the middle ground between DIY yard work and impersonal national chains, offering Oklahoma City homeowners a local option for thoughtful landscape design backed by hands-on maintenance. For homeowners who want their landscape to reflect their neighborhood while staying manageable year-round, this is a practical choice.
