Landscape design

A landscape design should work with your property, not against it. That means accounting for grading and drainage before a single plant goes in the ground.

We start with how the space is used and how water moves through it, then build a plan around planting, mulch beds, and any hardscape like patios or walkways. Whether it is a front yard in Wake Forest that needs more curb appeal or a backyard in Raleigh headed toward full outdoor living space, the plan accounts for sun, soil, and slope from the start. Grading gets addressed early, since a design that ignores drainage will cause problems no matter how good the planting looks.

Once the plan is set, we walk it through with you so there are no surprises about what gets installed and where. This is the stage where retaining walls, patios, or planting beds get worked into the layout, so the finished yard functions as one property instead of a collection of separate projects.

• Site evaluation for grading and drainage
• Planting plans suited to sun and soil
• Layout for patios, walls, and mulch beds
• Design built around how you use the yard
