We don't just install landscapes; we build sustainable, low-maintenance yards designed to thrive in Wilmington's climate, solving the root causes of common lawn problems for the long term.
Questions and Answers
Can your landscape design help fix the dead patches in my Wilmington lawn?
Absolutely. Dead patches are often caused by poor soil, drainage issues, or incorrect plant placement. Our landscape design service starts with a site analysis specific to your Wilmington property. We then create a custom plan that addresses soil health, selects hardy plants suited for our local climate, and ensures proper grading to prevent water pooling or runoff, which are common culprits behind dead areas.
What's involved in your greenscape construction for a more water-efficient yard?
Our greenscape construction focuses on building sustainable, water-wise landscapes. For Wilmington homes struggling with sprinkler leaks and high water bills, we install efficient drip irrigation zones, use moisture-retaining soil amendments, and incorporate drought-tolerant native plants. This approach significantly reduces water usage compared to traditional lawns, creates a lush look year-round, and eliminates the issues caused by leaky, outdated sprinkler systems.
If you install a new landscape, will you also fix or replace my leaking sprinkler system?
Yes, it's a standard part of our landscape construction process. We assess your existing irrigation during the design phase. For new installations, we build a modern, efficient system with proper zoning to match your new plantings. For renovations, we often recommend replacing old, leaky sprinkler heads and pipes with updated technology as part of the project. This ensures your new Wilmington landscape gets the right amount of water without waste, protecting your investment from the start.
