Most landscaping fails for two reasons
Planting something where it can't live — sun-loving shrubs on the north side, or anything needing drainage dropped into a wet low spot. And spacing for today, so three years later everything is crowded and half has to come out.
Design fixes both before a shovel moves. We look at where the sun actually falls and where water actually goes, then choose plants that want the conditions you have.
- Planting plans matched to your light, soil and drainage
- Real cut bed edges — not plastic strip
- Amended soil, because Piedmont clay grows disappointment
- Sod, grading and lawn renovation
Curb appeal, specifically
If the goal is the front of the house, a few things do most of the work: a clean cut edge, consistent mulch depth, structure at the corners, and one or two things that flower at eye level from the street.
That's often a smaller project than people expect.
What it costs
Front-yard refreshes often run $3,500 to $12,000; full-property design and install goes up from there.
Design work scales with property size and how much soil correction the site needs.
- Bed prep and soil amendment before plant count
- Mature plant sizes cost more but read instantly
- Sod and grading priced by area
