Travis Thurber Landscaping - Pittsboro's Professional Landscapers

Poor drainage is common in our area. The first step is a professional assessment. We often start with land grading or regrading to create the proper slope away from your home's foundation. For more complex issues, solutions can include installing French drains, which requires precise trench digging and proper backfilling, or constructing retaining walls to manage significant slopes. Correcting drainage is crucial before any new landscape construction or patio installation to ensure a stable, long-lasting result.

We can certainly help. For overgrown shrubs, we offer expert shrub pruning and trimming to restore their shape and health. Our shrub care services include disease and insect management to treat common local problems. If a shrub is beyond recovery or in the wrong place, we provide careful shrub removal and transplanting services. We'll assess each plant and recommend the best course of action, whether it's rejuvenation care or designing a new landscape bed with properly selected and planted shrubs for easier long-term maintenance.

Building a durable patio or walkway in Pittsboro starts with proper site preparation. This includes excavation to the correct depth, soil compaction for a stable base, and often addressing any underlying grading or drainage issues first—common problems we see locally. We then construct the hardscape using quality materials and proven techniques, ensuring proper drainage slopes are integrated into the design. For accompanying features like retaining walls or irrigation systems, our in-house excavation and irrigation teams handle all phases, ensuring a cohesive and professionally built outdoor living space.
