Landscaping & Landscape Design

From a fresh layer of pine straw to a complete new landscape, we make the whole property look finished.

Landscaping

Done right, every time

Good landscaping is what makes a house look cared for. We can start with a design and mockup so you see the plan before anything goes in the ground, then build it: new beds, the right plants for our clay and heat, clean edging and a fresh layer of mulch or pine straw.

We also take care of the landscape you already have. That means cleaning out and weeding beds, trimming shrubs and hedges back into shape, and clearing out ivy and overgrowth so you can reclaim your yard.

Local know-how

Landscaping for Carolina clay

Triangle red clay holds water in winter and bakes hard in summer, so plant choice and bed prep matter. We build beds up with good soil, pick plants that handle our heat and humidity, and finish with mulch or pine straw to hold in moisture.

Pine straw is a Carolina classic. It stays put on slopes and suits the azaleas, camellias and hollies common in Triangle yards. Hardwood mulch gives a darker, more formal look. Either way, about 2 to 3 inches is plenty, kept off tree trunks and siding.

Carolina Premier Lawn & Tree does a great job. They mow, edge and blow our yard, trim the hedges. All their work is done professionally and timely. They are dependable and communicate with us if there's a change in their schedule and they are delayed. I highly recommend Jerry and his crew for all your landscape needs.

Jerry and his crew did an amazing job mulching my already mature gardens. He was quick to respond when I requested a quote; quoted a great price, in my mind, and was prompt and considerate. I will definitely be using Carolina Premier again. Thank you!

FAQ

Landscaping FAQ

Is mulch or pine straw better?

Both work well. Pine straw is lighter, stays put on slopes and is popular in the Carolinas. Hardwood mulch looks darker and more formal and adds organic matter as it breaks down. Many homeowners choose based on the look they like.

Can I see a design before you start?

Yes. We offer landscape design and mockups so you can see the plan and make changes before any work begins.

What are the best privacy trees for the Triangle?

Popular choices include Green Giant arborvitae, Nellie R. Stevens holly and cryptomeria. The best pick depends on how much sun and space you have and how quickly you need coverage.
