Meet the Team

Founded by Shelley Cook in 2005, Carolina Garden Company is a Durham-based landscaping firm with deep roots in the community. Shelley's passion for plants began in 1995 and was nurtured through studies at NCSU and eight years as a professional plant buyer. Today, she and her husband, a retired military veteran, lead a team of licensed professionals dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces. We specialize in comprehensive landscape design and installation, from custom patios and retaining walls to planting trees, shrubs, and perennials suited to our local climate. Our approach is collaborative, focusing on bringing each client's vision to life with durable hardscaping and thriving, regionally-appropriate greenery. We take pride in building beautiful, functional landscapes for Durham homes and businesses that stand the test of time and local weather.

Common Questions

Do you handle both landscape design and the construction/installation?

Yes, we provide a full-service experience. Our licensed design team creates detailed plans based on your vision and property specifics. Then, our skilled construction crew executes the installation, whether it's a complex patio, a retaining wall, or extensive planting. This integrated approach ensures the final result matches the design intent and is built to last.

What can you do about common issues like moss in lawns or dying shrubs in Durham?

These are frequent challenges in our area, often related to soil conditions, drainage, or improper plant selection. For moss, we assess and correct underlying drainage issues and soil pH. For struggling shrubs, we provide expert care including disease and insect management, or we can recommend and install replacement shrubs known to thrive in Durham's climate. Our knowledge of local plants helps prevent these problems from the start.

Can you help with a project that includes both a new patio and new plantings?

Absolutely. This is a core part of our expertise. We coordinate the hardscaping—like patio, walkway, or retaining wall construction—with the softscaping, which includes planting trees, shrubs, and perennials. We ensure the layout is functional and aesthetically cohesive, and that the planting beds are properly prepared in relation to the new hardscapes for long-term health and beauty.
