Skilled Residential Landscaping in Kannapolis

Fall is the better time to plant most trees and shrubs in the Piedmont, because roots establish before the stress of a hot and dry summer. Spring also works for many shrubs and perennials. New plantings need regular watering at first, about daily in the first week, three times a week in the second, then weekly, at roughly one inch of water a week. Finish the new bed with mulching to hold in moisture.

It starts with an in-depth consultation about what you want from the yard. Our design team then crafts a customized landscape plan. Once you approve the design, our landscaping professionals handle the installation, and we also share maintenance advice so the plantings do well. Ongoing care is available through lawn care and lawn spraying for shrubs.

The type of work, its complexity, and the size of the property all move the price. For sod, the grass type, delivery, site access, and prep such as grading or topsoil add to the cost. One cost guide (LawnStarter, October 2026) puts installed fescue sod at $0.89 to $1.60 per square foot nationally. Business grounds work falls under commercial landscaping.

No plant is deer-proof, and deer damage rises in drought. North Carolina State Extension ranks plants by how often deer damage them. Extension examples that deer seldom browse include American holly, beautyberry, wax myrtle, and yaupon, while crape myrtle is a tough tree that tolerates drought. Pick plants that suit the site first, then choose for looks.

Seed costs less, while sod costs more but gives you a finished lawn at once. In the Piedmont, tall fescue seed does best sown in early fall, with early spring as a fallback, and certified seed or sod is worth asking for. Thin spots in an existing lawn are better handled with lawn aeration and overseeding.
