Landscape Design
The Living Canvas of Your Home.
A landscape, done well, is the longest-running piece of design on your property. We draw planting plans that feel native to Eastern North Carolina — azalea, camellia, crepe myrtle, drought-tolerant perennial — arranged so that something is always quietly in season.
Approach
How we draw and build landscape design.
Every landscape begins with a walk. We read the property — its drainage, its sun, its wind, the way the house meets the ground. Then we draw.
“Every landscape begins with a walk.”
The first plan is rarely the final one; we expect to revise as the conversation deepens. Our crews install everything we draw, which means the gardener planting the dogwood is the same person who will return in the fall to tell you whether it took. We work in stewardship, not in transactions.
Whether the project is a new front foundation planting, a complete rear-garden redesign, or a season-by-season maintenance plan that keeps a finished landscape at its best, we approach the work as a long collaboration.

Why Yardie
Three reasons for landscape design.
01 · Landscape Design
Local plant intelligence
We design for the soil, water, and light Eastern NC actually has — not for what looks good on Pinterest.
02 · Landscape Design
Drawn, not picked
Every bed is composed by hand, plant by plant, against the architecture and sightlines of the house.
03 · Landscape Design
We live with what we plant
Our maintenance teams visit the same gardens our designers drew, year after year.
FAQ
Common questions.
The questions we’re asked most often about landscape design. Don’t see yours? Send us a note.
- Many of our gardens lean on a regionally proven palette — azaleas, camellias, crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, dogwoods, hollies, and a layer of drought-tolerant perennials such as catmint and salvia. We also incorporate ornamental grasses and native trees where they suit the property.
- Yes. We design with native and adaptive plants, group beds by water need, integrate efficient irrigation, and use permeable hardscapes where possible. We avoid invasive species and aim for landscapes that need less, not more, over time.
- It depends on scope. A planting refresh can take a week; a full property redesign, eight to twelve weeks once design is approved. We give an honest schedule before we start.
- Most clients begin with our first-year care visits, which establish plantings and catch any settling-in issues. After that, we recommend an ongoing seasonal schedule we can manage for you or hand off to a partner.
- Yes. The first conversation is at no cost — we walk the property, listen, and let you know whether we're the right fit before any design fee.
