Landscape Design & Installation

A great Charlotte landscape doesn't start with plants — it starts with a plan that respects your lot. Before we sketch anything, we walk the property and map what actually drives success here: how the sun tracks across your yard in July, where our famous red clay holds water after a storm, which views you want framed and which you want hidden, and how much weekend maintenance you're honestly willing to do.

From there we draw a design you can hold in your hands — beds, borders, trees, focal points and hardscape tie-ins, with a plant palette chosen for the Piedmont's heat, humidity and the occasional ice storm. We lean on proven Carolina performers: azaleas and camellias for structure and spring color, crape myrtles and hollies for height, switchgrass and muhly grass for movement, and natives that shrug off August without drinking your water bill dry.

Installation that matches the drawing

The difference between a design and a result is execution. Our install crew preps soil properly — busting compaction, amending clay, setting grades so water moves away from your foundation — then plants to the plan, mulches to a consistent depth, and edges everything clean. You get a final walkthrough against the original drawing, not a shrug and an invoice.

What's included

Whether it's a tired front yard in Ballantyne that needs curb appeal before listing, or a blank-slate new build in Steele Creek, we design for how you live and build it to last past the first season.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers

How much does landscape design cost in Charlotte?
Most full design-and-install projects in the Charlotte area land between $4,000 and $25,000 depending on size and scope. The design consultation is free with installation, and every quote is written and itemized before work begins.
Do you work with Charlotte's clay soil?
Yes — it's half the job. We amend beds with compost and soil conditioner, address compaction, and set grades so the clay works for you instead of drowning your plants.
When is the best season to plant in North Carolina?
Fall is king in the Piedmont — roots establish all winter before summer heat. Spring is a close second. We plant year-round with appropriate species and watering plans.
Can you phase a big project over time?
Absolutely. We'll design the full vision once, then build it in budget-friendly phases — hardscape first, plantings next, lighting last is a common order.
