Small lots under 5,000 square feet run $35–$55 per visit. Medium lots up to 10,000 square feet cost $55–$90, and larger properties over 10,000 square feet range from $90–$150. Our monthly maintenance programs bundle mowing with fertilization, pest monitoring, and irrigation checks for one flat monthly rate starting at $150.

Yes. Marcus or a senior designer walks your property, discusses your goals and budget, and gives you an honest assessment of what is possible in your space. For projects over $5,000, the $250–$500 consultation fee is credited toward your project cost — effectively free. We never pressure you into signing anything at the consultation.

Charlotte sits in the NC transition zone, which means no grass is perfect — but Tall Fescue handles Piedmont winters and hot summers best for most home lawns. Bermuda excels in full-sun, high-traffic areas and is common in Ballantyne and Steele Creek. Zoysia works well for homeowners who want lower maintenance. We assess your soil, sun exposure, and irrigation before recommending the right variety.

September is the window — soil temperatures are still warm enough for germination but air temperatures are dropping, which is exactly what Tall Fescue needs. We core-aerate first to break through Charlotte’s compacted red clay, then overseed at 6–8 lb per 1,000 square feet. Starting October significantly drops your germination rate. This is our most-booked service every fall.

Yes. We specialize in sustainable landscaping with native plant installations, organic fertilizers, and integrated pest management that minimizes chemical use. Every irrigation system is designed as a WaterSense partner to conserve water through Charlotte’s summer dry spells. Our soil amendment program uses compost to reduce the clay content that makes Piedmont yards drain so poorly.

Paver and natural stone patios run $15–$35 per square foot installed, depending on material and complexity. A standard 200-square-foot patio costs $3,000–$7,000. The Piedmont’s red clay requires thorough base preparation — proper compaction, drainage gravel, and geotextile fabric — so the patio does not settle after heavy rain or winter frost. We do not skip that step.

Often, yes. Sarah, our ISA Certified Arborist, evaluates every tree before recommending removal. Many trees with disease, storm damage, or structural issues can be treated and pruned back to health. She has saved dozens of mature oaks and dogwoods across Mecklenburg County that other companies gave up on. Removal is always a last resort — never a first suggestion.

Red clay is dense, compacts easily, and drains poorly — which means plants that thrive in well-drained soil can drown after a heavy Piedmont rainstorm. We amend every planting bed with compost and coarse sand before installing, grade the site to direct water away from the house, and design drainage swales where the lot calls for it. After 18 years in Charlotte clay, we rarely get surprised.

Our monthly program covers weekly mowing, edging, and blowing, plus monthly fertilization on the NC extension service schedule, quarterly pest inspections, irrigation system checks, seasonal plant adjustments, and mulch refresh twice per year. One flat monthly rate, no surprise charges. Programs start at $150/month and the same crew visits every time.

For design-build projects starting April through June, book by February — our spring installation calendar fills quickly, and Charlotte homeowners who wait until March often land in a summer slot. Weekly maintenance contracts can usually start within two to three weeks year-round. For fall aeration and overseed, book by August to guarantee a September installation date.
