Mulch Installation
Our mulch installation service enhances landscapes using premium materials like triple-shredded hardwood, cedar mulch, and colored designer options. We provide even distribution around plants, bed edging, and fast cleanup while offering competitive wholesale pricing. Certified playground mulch ensures safety for daycare facilities and residential spaces.
Drainage Solutions
We address water accumulation issues through French drain installation and maintenance, preventing foundation damage from heavy rainfall. Our experts excavate clogged systems and install new drainage solutions to protect properties from erosion and standing water in the Triangle area.
Hardscape Design
Specializing in patios, walkways, and retaining walls, we use pavers, flagstone, and permeable materials to create functional outdoor living spaces. Our designs incorporate fire pits, water features, and decorative elements while improving property aesthetics and value through durable, environmentally responsible solutions.
Pine Straw Installation
Our pine straw specialists apply long-needle straw evenly across beds, under bushes, and along concrete edges for a polished appearance. The service includes cleaning plant needles post-installation and tucking straw into tight spaces for commercial and residential properties requiring minimum 50-bale orders.

We install certified playground mulch that meets safety standards for impact absorption and durability.
