Nelson Landscaping

A home is a long-term investment, and so is its landscaping. The team at Nelson Landscaping specializes in creating one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces that will add value and beauty to your property for decades to come. The locally owned, family-run company serves commercial and residential clients throughout the state.

Custom Designed Outdoor Spaces

“Anywhere I travel, I’m obsessed with landscape design,” says owner Andy Nelson, who has collected hundreds of photos of designs from all across the country. He brings these ideas and inspiration to the landscapes he creates for OKC area clients. But Nelson Landscaping’s designs are uniquely local, too. As a lifelong Edmond resident, Andy has firsthand knowledge of Oklahoma’s climate, soil, and weather. He knows what it takes to build a landscape that will thrive in our state’s demanding conditions.

Each outdoor space is different, and the Nelson Landscaping team can offer expert advice for how to make the most of the natural features around your home. Soil quality is poor in most of the OKC metro area, so many Nelson Landscaping projects begin by adding rich, robust soil that keeps plants healthy season after season.

Nelson Landscaping is one of Oklahoma’s largest design-and-build landscape companies, offering everything from landscaping and hardscaping to outdoor kitchens and pergolas. The team works with each client to customize a design that fits their needs and budget.

For many clients, a dream outdoor space includes a pool. To meet that need, Andy founded Nelson Pools in 2017, inviting established experts in pool design and construction to lead his team. Pool Professional Asa Pelman honed his craft in California, bringing that state’s meticulously high standards to OKC homeowners. 

Rooted in Oklahoma

Andy grew up in east Edmond and started his landscaping career at age twelve, mowing lawns to save money for baseball cards. Although he never expected to grow his side job into a thriving company, he soon discovered he had a passion for business. His parents were also entrepreneurs, and he learned many of his most important lessons from them. “I got to see firsthand what running a business was like,” he says. “I also got to see behind the curtain and learn what could go wrong. I especially learned the value of discipline and consistency.”

By the time he reached college, Andy’s company included several employees and served clients throughout the city. Andy struggled to balance classwork with the growing needs of his business, until he finally walked out of a dull statistics class and never returned. Since then Nelson Landscaping has continued to grow and thrive.

Andy is now raising a family of his own in Edmond. Many Nelson Landscaping team members live here, too, including two members of the sales team who attended his alma mater, Edmond Memorial High School. “I love Edmond so much,” says Andy. “It’s a beautiful town, and I love having the opportunity to add to that.”

Preparing for Spring

As winter ends, many homeowners are venturing outdoors again and making plans for landscape renovations. Nelson Landscaping’s busy season is right around the corner. “We always strive for efficiency, but occasionally we do get backlogged,” he says. Doing projects right takes time, and he encourages clients to get started sooner rather than later. “Don’t hesitate if you want to get a project going, especially if it’s design work,” he says.

Nelson Landscaping and Nelson Pools offer free consultations, which can be scheduled at any time. “If you’re looking for value and quality, we’re the ones to call,” says Andy.
