Lake & Waterfront Landscapes

At Home & Garden Landscapes, we understand that waterfront properties offer a unique opportunity for breathtaking landscaping. Our waterfront landscaping projects go beyond simple designs; we create lush, verdant paradises that perfectly complement the serene beauty of lakeside vistas.

We aim to transform your waterfront property into a residential sanctuary, where every glance out of your window or step onto your patio reveals a stunning view that soothes the senses and invigorates the soul. Our expert team works closely with you to understand your vision and bring it to life, ensuring that your outdoor space is not just an extension of your home, but a tranquil retreat that reflects your lifestyle and aesthetic.

Experience the magic of lakeside living with Home & Garden Landscapes, where we turn unique waterfront landscapes into personal sanctuaries with stunning views.

Browse through examples of some of our work in the waterfront landscape portfolio below.

 


Lake House Installation

Lake Hyco, North Carolina

Lake-Hyco-1

This installation was done at a small lake in north-central North Carolina near the Virginia border. The owner wanted a tropical feel to his property. Plants included in this Zone 7 landscape include Cabbage Palmetto, Pindo Palm, Windmill Palm, Yucca rostrata and Yucca faxon. Since Zone 7 is marginal for some of these plants, winter protection is provided for 2 months of the year.

Aldredge-Front-After-scaled

This lakefront home, straddling the North Carolina and Virigina border, incorporated cold-hardy desert plants and cold-hardy palms. Plants used in this landscape include Cabbage Palm, Windmill Palm, Sabal Minor, Yucca Faxon, Yucca Rostrata and Prickly Pear Cactus. This is Zone 7, but being on a large lake, the climate is moderated therefore allowing us to incorporate Zone 8 plant material.

 


Lakeside Home

Efland, North Carolina

Berman Project 5

This lakeside home posed a unique landscaping challenge due to its architecture. With a European-inspired design, this home required an unusual palette of plant material including mature specimen Blue Atlas Cedars, Bald Cypress, Globosa Blue Spruce, as well Princeton American Elm and Sugar Maples. This is an on-going project the owner adds to each year.

The hollies have done a wonderful job of giving us our valued privacy. We are so very happy. Thank you!
Chris & TrishaRaleigh, NC

The 18 foot hollies are amazing. They totally and instantly solved our view problem — rather than looking at a newly constructed commercial building, we now look out on lush green plantings.

Thomas & Pat B.Apex, NC
We have worked with David on multiple projects. His knowledge, quality of plant material and service are top notch.  
Chris G.Greensboro, NC
