Fernwood Landscapes Myers Park and South Charlotte, North Carolina
Garden design and landscaping

A yard you'll actually use, drawn before anything is dug.

We design it on paper, price it line by line, and build it with our own crew. You see exactly what you're getting before a single plant goes in.

Within the hour, during working hours.

What happens

Three steps, and the first one is just walking the yard.

01

We walk it with you

An hour at your home. How you want to use the space, what you'd keep, what the light and drainage are doing. Nothing is decided.

02

A drawing and a price

A scaled plan of the whole yard and a line-by-line quote. You can see where every path, bed and light goes before you agree to anything.

03

Only then, the build

Our own crew, not subcontractors, on dates you get in writing. The person who designed it checks it at every stage.

Honestly

The things people don't say out loud.

Four reasons people live with a yard they don't use. None of them is a reason not to ask.

01

"It'll cost a fortune."

It can be done in stages. The drawing shows the whole yard, and we can build the patio this year and the planting next. You choose the order, and you see every number first.

02

"I don't even know what I want."

Most people don't. That's what the design visit is for: we ask how you'd like to spend an evening out there, and draw from that.

03

"The yard will be a mess for months."

A typical build is four to six weeks, and we clear up every evening. You'll know the start and finish dates before we start.

04

"Half the plants will die."

We plant for your soil and your light, not for the photo. Anything we plant that doesn't take in its first year, we replace.

Garden designer & builder

Owen founded Fernwood and still draws every design himself. He walks the yard with you, prices the plan, and checks the build at every stage.

The crew is his own. Nobody turns up at your house who he hasn't worked beside.

Most landscapers take days to call back, and by then you've stopped thinking about it. This page does the arithmetic instead, so you know exactly when to expect us.
