Landscape Design, Raleigh, NC

Our landscape design services can give you a unique space that reflects your personal taste.

The landscaping on a property plays a major role in its overall appearance and appeal. When you arrive at a home with beautiful, lush landscaping, it enhances the curb appeal and creates a more inviting atmosphere. On the other hand, poorly maintained or designed landscaping can make a property look rundown. If you’re looking to transform the appearance of your outdoor space, our experienced landscape designers at Garden Environments can help. We provide professional landscape design services to those located in and around Raleigh, North Carolina.

There are a few aspects of the way we handle landscape design services that set us apart from other companies in the area. The first is our commitment to using elements that you want in your space. If you have specific plants or flowers that you love, we can incorporate those into the design. We also use a wider range of plants than other design professionals, who tend to stick to a few standard species. The result of the latter is landscape designs that look similar from house to house. Our landscape design services can give you a unique space that reflects your personal taste.

I would absolutely recommend working with Garden Environments.

“We used Garden Environments for a large project in our backyard. We worked with Jennifer who created a design that incorporated everything we wanted from the space. She worked patiently with us on all decision points, and we’re very happy with the plan and how it turned out. Beyond design, Garden Environments built a deck and firewood enclosure; installed two stepping stone paths, a set of stone slab steps, a concrete pad, and a Chapel Hill grit patio; and planted one large garden and two smaller plant beds with a nice mix of gorgeous, native plants. At one point, we faced a drainage issue, and they were very quick to help us find a solution and add it into the project. Throughout the project, I was impressed by their effort, efficiency, and precision. They worked hard to complete our project (done in two phases) with as little disruption as possible and finished everything within a very reasonable timeframe. I would absolutely recommend working with Garden Environments for garden design and landscaping needs! ”

What should I expect from my consultation?

From there, you and your designer will mutually agree to begin the design phase.

We have been incredibly impressed by Garden Environments! This was our first experience having any sort of extensive landscaping work completed, and we were honestly overwhelmed. We were initially drawn to them for their commitment to using native plants, as supporting the environment is very important to us. With somewhat vague ideas as to what we were looking for, they were able to come up with a beautiful, and functional, design. Every step of the process was carefully overseen and implemented, with great care taken for our property. They also re-used items from our yard, took care not to remove more plants or trees than were necessary, and even re-planted things where it made sense. It was such a relief to be able to hand over the decision-making and know that we were in good hands. Locke did an amazing job, and we are very impressed with the outcome. If we ever decide to have more work completed, we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Garden Environments again!

Very pleased with the landscaping work by Garden Environments! We had a great designer that was considerate of our garden needs and communicated very well. The install team was very professional and helped make some last minute adjustments. Our yard looks wonderful - the end product exceeded my expectations! I would definitely recommend. Just be aware that landscape designers are in high demand, and it could be a long wait time between the initial consult and getting started with a landscape designer.

Jessica Millstein

I have a wet, shaded, steep back yard and they turned it into an absolute Zen oasis! I told them the few things that I didn't like, the few things that I loved and they put together the most incredible plan. And since I'm not good at gardening, I hate worms, I have them come on a monthly basis to keep my yard looking fabulous!

Greg Popken

The design team was very willing to adjust initial designs to better fit our vision. The installation team was top notch: efficient; took to the time to make sure it was done right; cleaned up when done and followed up.We also had Garden Environments do the maintenance after install. I can't speak highly enough of that. We had multiple previous companies that would do the minimum (rush in and rush out; need to be 'reminded' to complete certain tasks). Not so with Garden Environments. They take their time to see what needs to be addressed and they do it without having to be instructed. They tend to the landscape rather than just service it.

We had a very positive experience with Garden Environments - from our first meeting with Sheldon, working with Aurora on the design and Josh and his team on the work itself. Our front and back yards were a mess when we first moved in and we are so glad we made the investment. Admittedly, we experienced a bit of sticker shock (this is our first home, we've lived in apartments our entire adult lives, landscaping is completely foreign to us), but we are so glad we proceeded with the work. Aurora was open to modifying our plan and Josh helped us make some decisions regarding our backyard while he was here doing the planting in the front. We appreciated the flexibility and are still in touch with GE to do some more touches. Completely worth it! If they also offered indoor plants, we'd definitely go to them first! Highly recommend!!

Matt Aitken

Wendi and her Artistry in Plants team are amazing. They totally overhauled our front yard - removing unwanted/invasive plants and installing a diverse array of new plants to create much more balance and color than we had before. In addition to being great landscapers, these are great people. We liked them so much, we plan to use them again for our back yard this fall!

Joseph Simon

Highly recommend Garden Environments for landscaping work, particularly with a propensity for native plants - 5/5 stars. They did a fairy large hardscaping job for us that turned out much better than we envisioned. We get compliments on the work all the time. Very professional, Jennifer’s design work is incredible, and the crew was very communicative and timely throughout. Have and will continue to recommend to everyone and we’re having them come back to do another project.

Lisa Tenorio

Extremely happy with our front yard design! The plants are thriving and I feel happy every time I come home and see new flowers emerging.
