Real feedback from Durham homeowners
"Greenworks redesigned our entire backyard, new patio, plantings, and irrigation. They finished two days early and the result is better than we imagined. Our neighbors keep asking who did the work."
"We have used Greenworks for weekly lawn care for three years. They are consistent, communicative, and our yard has never looked better. The fall aeration and overseeding program made a real difference."
"We hired Greenworks to fix a drainage problem that had been ruining our lawn for years. They regraded the slope, added a French drain, and reseeded. No standing water since. Wish we had called sooner."
"David's team redesigned our backyard. New patio, fixed the drainage, native plantings, landscape lighting. They were done a day early and under budget. Our neighbors have already hired him."
"We needed erosion control on a steep hillside and a complete front yard redesign. David's crew built a terraced retaining wall, planted native groundcover, and added landscape lighting. Six months later everything is thriving. Best investment we've made in this house."
"Greenworks completely transformed our front yard. New sod, stone edging, and seasonal plantings. They showed up every day they said they would and left the site clean each time. Worth every penny."
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about landscaping, pricing, and our process
When's the best time to start a landscaping project?
Spring (March–May) is ideal for most work in Durham. Fall is also excellent. We work year-round, but spring projects complete faster and plants establish better. Book now to secure your spring slot.
How long does a design-build project take?
Most projects complete in 2–4 weeks depending on scope and weather. We'll give you a detailed timeline before we start, and we stick to it.
Do you do maintenance after the work is done?
Yes. We offer weekly, biweekly, or monthly maintenance plans starting at $45/visit. Most clients invest in ongoing care to protect and enhance their landscaping long-term.
What about drainage issues? Can you help?
Absolutely. Drainage problems are one of the most common issues we solve. We assess grading, design, and install systems to protect your home and yard. Many Carolina properties need this work.
How much does landscaping cost?
Consultations are free. Weekly maintenance starts at $45/visit. Design packages start at $500. Build projects typically range $5,000–$25,000 depending on scope. We provide exact pricing after a free site visit.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Licensed in NC, fully insured with liability and workers' comp. We back all work with a 2-year plant warranty. Every crew member is bonded and trained to our quality standards.
What if I don't like the design?
We present a full design plan before we break ground. You approve everything. If you want changes, we revise until you're happy. No surprises, no extra fees for reasonable modifications.
What happens if a plant dies after installation?
All our plantings come with a 2-year plant warranty. If something dies within two years of installation due to plant failure, we replace it at no charge. Drought damage or neglect isn't covered, but we'll always tell you upfront what a plant needs to thrive.
