Nicholasville is one of Kentucky's fastest-growing cities, and with that growth comes a surge in demand for quality landscape services. Just 10 miles south of Lexington on US-27, Nicholasville offers a mix of established neighborhoods, new residential developments, and commercial corridors — each with its own landscape needs. Lexington Landscaping Co. is local, licensed, and fully equipped to serve Jessamine County properties of every size.
We bring the same crew, equipment, and standards we use in Lexington directly to Nicholasville. Whether you need a weekly lawn maintenance plan, a paver patio installation for your backyard, or a French drain system to address the clay-heavy soil common in the area — we have you covered.
New construction is everywhere in Nicholasville — along the US-27 corridor, in the Brannon Crossing commercial zone, and across dozens of emerging subdivisions spreading into rural Jessamine County. The challenge for new homeowners is that builders grade to minimum standards, compact the topsoil with heavy equipment, and move on. We've become specialists in remediation: restoring proper grade, adding organic-rich topsoil, and establishing healthy turf where builders leave behind compacted, rocky ground.
We also serve the broader Jessamine County area including Wilmore and outlying rural properties. If you're on acreage, we have commercial-grade equipment and the crew size to handle multi-acre maintenance efficiently — something a two-person residential crew simply can't offer.

Local Landscaping Challenges in Nicholasville
New Construction Grading
Many new developments in Nicholasville suffer from poor builder grading and compacted soil, leading to severe yard flooding. We specialize in retrofitting French drains and catch basins to fix builder oversights.
Hardpan Subsoil
Jessamine County often has shallow topsoil over dense hardpan. We select deep-rooting native plants and amend planting beds extensively so your landscape doesn't just survive, but thrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service all of Jessamine County?
Yes, we provide full landscaping and hardscaping services to Nicholasville, Wilmore, and the surrounding rural areas in Jessamine County.
How quickly can you start a landscaping project?
For standard maintenance, we can usually start within a week. For hardscaping and drainage projects in Nicholasville, we typically book 3 to 5 weeks out.
Can you fix grading issues left by a builder in Nicholasville?
Yes — this is one of our most common requests in Jessamine County. We assess the slope profile, identify where water is pooling or running toward the foundation, then regrade, add topsoil, and establish turf. In severe cases we combine regrading with a French drain system for complete control.
Do you install irrigation systems in Nicholasville?
Absolutely. We design and install full in-ground irrigation systems for both new construction and established Nicholasville properties. We also service and repair systems from any manufacturer, including spring startup and fall winterization.
What grass type works best in Nicholasville's new-build neighborhoods?
Turf-type Tall Fescue is our top recommendation for Jessamine County new builds. It tolerates the clay hardpan and construction compaction better than Bluegrass blends, germinates reliably in our fall window, and holds up through Kentucky summers. We overseed in early September for best results.
