Gardens by Design | Trusted Landscaping in Southern Pines, NC

In our area, shrubs often die from 'wet feet' due to poor drainage or from being planted in unsuitable soil. Our team assesses your yard's unique conditions—soil composition, sun exposure, and drainage—to diagnose the problem. We then design and install a landscape with properly amended soil and select plants that are naturally suited to thrive in Southern Pines, ensuring long-term health and reducing replacement costs.

Standing water can damage your lawn, foundation, and plants. Gardens by Design creates custom drainage solutions tailored to your property's topography. This can include regrading the land, installing subsurface French drains to redirect water, or creating a decorative rain garden that uses water-loving plants to absorb excess moisture. Our goal is to solve the water issue while enhancing the overall beauty and usability of your landscape.

Our process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your vision and your yard's specific challenges. We then develop a detailed design plan that addresses both aesthetics and functionality, incorporating solutions for drainage and plant health. Once approved, our skilled crew handles the entire installation, from soil prep and grading to planting and final touches, ensuring a seamless transformation that solves problems and creates lasting beauty.
