Services
Landscape Installation
We design and install tailored landscapes for residential and commercial properties using regionally appropriate plants. Our process includes site analysis, plant selection, and expert installation to create functional, aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces. Clients benefit from enhanced property value and curb appeal through our sustainable, low-maintenance designs.
Landscape Maintenance
Our comprehensive maintenance plans ensure year-round landscape health through mowing, fertilization, weed control, pruning, and seasonal cleanups. Services are customized to property size and plant needs, reducing client maintenance burdens while preserving landscape integrity and visual impact across Chapel Hill and Durham areas.
Hardscaping Services
We construct durable hardscapes including stone patios, brick walkways, retaining walls, and courtyards. Projects integrate with existing landscapes for cohesive aesthetics. Materials are selected for durability and regional climate compatibility, creating functional outdoor living spaces that increase property usability and market value.
Lawn-Enhancement Program
Based on NC State University research, this program optimizes lawn health through scheduled fertilization, aeration, and pest management. Treatments are timed to seasonal growth cycles, producing dense, resilient turf that resists weeds and environmental stress while minimizing homeowner maintenance requirements.
Irrigation Systems
We design and install efficient irrigation systems that deliver precise water amounts to landscape zones. Smart controllers and drought-resistant planning reduce water waste while maintaining plant health, particularly beneficial for commercial properties requiring consistent irrigation across large areas.

Questions
What services do you offer for commercial properties?
We provide full-service commercial landscaping including installation, maintenance, hardscaping, irrigation, and seasonal cleanups tailored to business needs in Chapel Hill and Durham.
How does your lawn fertilization program work?
Our NC State University-based program uses scheduled treatments to optimize soil health and grass growth, focusing on seasonal timing for maximum effectiveness against weeds and pests.
What's the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control?
Pre-emergent prevents weed sprouting before growth starts, while post-emergent targets existing weeds. We apply both strategically to maintain lawn health throughout growing seasons.
How often should I mow my lawn?
Follow the 'one-third rule' - mow when grass reaches 4.5 inches if maintaining 3-inch height. Frequency varies seasonally from every 3-5 days in spring to biweekly in summer.
Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes, we serve homeowners and businesses in Chapel Hill and Durham with customized landscaping solutions, from small yard maintenance to large-scale commercial installations.
What hardscaping materials do you work with?
We use natural stone, brick, and pavers for walkways, patios, and retaining walls, selecting materials based on durability, aesthetic compatibility, and client preferences for long-lasting results.
