Landscaping is the secret ingredient to elevating your home’s curb appeal. Whether it’s an older residence needing a rejuvenating touch due to overgrown trees and shrubs, or a brand-new build, the right choice of plants is crucial to highlighting your home’s beauty. Just as a frame enhances a painting, landscaping serves to accentuate and showcase the architectural masterpieces that are your home’s features. With our expert touch, we’ll turn your home into a canvas of natural beauty.
Contemporary Landscape Renovation
Raleigh, North Carolina
We were contacted by the owners of this contemporary residence about designing a landscaping plan that softened the structure’s placement on the land while accentuating the significant architectural features of the home. We worked with our Oregon grower to select appropriate narrow forms of Weeping Alaska Cedar to accent, as well as soften, the prominent vertical columns framing the entrance to the home. We chose other plants for color and texture, such as Japanese Maple and heat-tolerant cultivars of Colorado Blue Spruce. We screened the backyard swimming pool area with mature 18-foot Emily Bruner Hollies as well as installing Windmill Palms to provide a tropical touch.
Home Sweet Home
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This 10-year old residence needed a landscape facelift. We used heat-tolerant Weeping Norway Spruce to frame the entry way, and used plants with varying textures and colors to create interest and contrast in this unique frontal courtyard entry way.
Northern Landscape
Charlotte, North Carolina
This Canadian transplant couple who moved to North Carolina wanted a northern landscape experience. Plants used included specimen-quality Greenleaf Japanese Maple, Fat Albert Colorado Blue Spruce, Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar as well as Schipp Laurels for screening. These evergreen cultivars are heat-tolerant and survive our Southern Summers.
Traditional Southern Landscape
Orange County, North Carolina
This landscape design integrated Northern type evergreens into a traditional Southern landscape. The family who own this property are Northern transplants to central NC and longed for a feel of the Northeast.
Heat-tolerant evergreens were incorporated into this landscape including Serbian Spruce, ‘Fat Albert’ Blue Spruce, Weeping Alaska Cedar and Deodar Cedar.
Architect’s Home
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This up-and-coming North Carolina architect wanted to complement his personal residence which was being entered in an architectural design competition. We utilized Japanese White Spire Birch which were collected in Northwestern North Carolina and relocated to the property.
