The Right Choice Landscape is a full-service residential landscaping company operating in Oklahoma City that handles both design-build projects and ongoing maintenance contracts, working primarily with single-family homes across the metro area.
The company operates on a dual-service model: design and installation for new or renovated landscape beds, hardscaping, and irrigation, paired with seasonal maintenance packages for existing yards. They work with standard Oklahoma City soils and heat tolerance, meaning their designs lean toward native plantings and drought-resistant species suited to the region's hot summers and variable spring moisture. The business handles projects from spring through fall, with maintenance contracts typically scaling up during growing season (April through October) and reducing during winter dormancy.
Design-build projects start at consultation, where The Right Choice Landscape assesses lot size, soil conditions, sun exposure, and client preferences. Installation pricing depends on scope: a typical residential bed renovation (200 to 400 square feet with new plants, mulch, and edging) runs between $1,200 and $2,800. Hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls) costs $15 to $25 per square foot installed. Irrigation system installation for a standard quarter-acre lot averages $2,500 to $4,500.
Maintenance contracts are priced per visit or as monthly bundles. Bi-weekly mowing and edging for a typical Oklahoma City residential lot (one-third to one-half acre) costs $80 to $140 per visit; monthly contracts bundling mowing, landscape bed maintenance, and seasonal clean-up range from $400 to $800 depending on property size and bed complexity. Spring clean-up (leaf removal, mulch refresh, pruning) and fall preparation are typically charged as separate one-time services between $300 and $900. Verify current pricing by phone, as material and fuel costs shift seasonally.
Oklahoma City's landscaping market divides roughly into three tiers. Large national franchises (BrightView, TruGreen) operate in the metro and offer standardized maintenance at lower per-visit rates ($60 to $100 for mowing alone) but typically upsell design services through corporate-partnered designers rather than in-house staff. Independent solo operators and small two- to three-person crews charge slightly less per visit ($50 to $90) but often lack equipment or expertise for hardscaping and irrigation. The Right Choice Landscape sits in the middle: higher than franchise entry-level pricing but with in-house design and install capability, making it competitive for homeowners who want a single contractor managing both renovation and long-term care. Choose a franchise if your only need is regular mowing and you value lowest cost. Choose The Right Choice Landscape if you want design input, hardscaping, and a consistent crew familiar with your property's history.
This company works best for Oklahoma City homeowners planning a significant landscape refresh or those with mature yards needing year-round professional care and seasonal design adjustments. It suits clients who value continuity (the same crew learning their property over time) and those with complex lots requiring irrigation knowledge or native plant expertise. It does not suit homeowners seeking rock-bottom mowing rates or those in neighborhoods with strict HOA specifications that demand national-brand credentials. It also may not be ideal for rental properties or commercial sites where turnover is rapid or landscape changes are minimal.
Initial contact typically includes a phone or email consultation where The Right Choice Landscape asks about lot size, current landscape condition, budget range, and desired outcome. An in-person site visit (often free for larger projects, charged $50 to $100 for design consultation on smaller work) follows, where the crew walks the property, photographs problem areas, and discusses soil, drainage, and sun exposure. If proceeding with design, expect a detailed plan with plant list, irrigation layout, and timeline within 5 to 10 business days. Installation can often begin within 2 to 4 weeks depending on season and crew availability.
The Right Choice Landscape operates Monday through Friday year-round, with extended hours during peak season (April through September). They serve Oklahoma City proper and surrounding suburbs within a 15-mile radius of central Oklahoma City. Parking and site prep are the homeowner's responsibility; the crew arrives with their own equipment (mowers, blowers, hand tools). Most maintenance visits last 1 to 2 hours for average residential lots. Scheduling is managed via phone or email; they accept new clients on a rolling basis but may have a 2 to 3-week waitlist during April and May when spring projects peak.
The Right Choice Landscape fills a genuine gap in Oklahoma City's landscaping market by combining in-house design expertise with maintenance continuity, making it a practical choice for homeowners who want both aesthetic improvement and reliable seasonal care without juggling multiple contractors.
