Landscape Installations in Socastee

Custom Planting and Bed Design

We begin each installation by looking closely at the property's layout and light patterns. In sunny front yards, we might suggest a backbone of yaupon holly for structure, accented by lantana that blooms into the fall. Side beds that catch the breeze off the Intracoastal Waterway often do well with pink muhly grass, which brings texture and color late in the season. For shaded corners, ligustrum or camellias can give year-round greenery without constant upkeep. Beds are edged and shaped to match the home's architecture before any planting begins.

Sod Installation for Immediate Results

For a finished lawn right away, sod is the quickest route. We clear away existing turf and weeds, level the soil, and mix in nutrients so new roots take hold quickly. Bermuda is a solid choice for full-sun areas that see plenty of use, while Zoysia offers a softer feel underfoot and stands up to foot traffic. Where shade is an issue, Centipede grass often performs better. After laying the sod in a staggered pattern, we water deeply and provide a simple, practical plan for watering and mowing over the next few weeks.

Lawn Care and Upkeep

Scheduled Mowing and Edging

Consistent mowing keeps turf healthy and prevents stress from cutting too short. We adjust our mowing height to the grass type and the time of year, then finish with crisp edges along driveways, sidewalks, and garden beds.

Seasonal Fertilization and Aeration

We recommend aerating warm-season grasses in spring so roots can expand before peak growth. Fertilizing at the right times boosts color, supports recovery from heavy use, and helps turf withstand summer heat. Our approach is based on local soil conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Plant and Bed Maintenance

Mulch Installation

Mulch is a simple but effective way to protect plant roots and keep beds looking neat. Pine straw is popular in Socastee for its natural look around evergreens, while hardwood mulch holds moisture well for mixed plantings. We clear debris, edge the beds, and apply mulch at the right depth to benefit plants without smothering them.

Hedge and Shrub Trimming

Routine trimming helps hedges and shrubs keep their shape and stay healthy. Azaleas are pruned after their blooms fade to protect next year's flowers, while evergreens like boxwood are shaped lightly to maintain density.

Hardscaping Services

Patios and Walkways

We build patios and walkways that make outdoor spaces more functional. A paver patio offers room for dining or lounging, and a stone walkway can connect the front drive to the back yard without wearing down grass. Materials are chosen to match your home and withstand the coastal climate.

Retaining Walls and Borders

Retaining walls make sloped areas usable and protect against erosion. Borders, whether made from stone or metal edging, keep beds defined and reduce maintenance time. We build with durability in mind so these features remain solid for years.

Ongoing Maintenance Plans

Residential and HOA Services

We set up maintenance plans that can include mowing, edging, trimming, and seasonal tasks. For HOA communities, we work with property managers to keep shared spaces uniform and well-kept.

Seasonal Cleanups

Our cleanup service prepares the property for the coming season. In fall, we remove leaves, cut back overgrowth, and ready beds for cooler weather. In spring, we refresh mulch, prune damaged branches, and prepare lawns for active growth.

FAQs About Landscaping in Socastee

What plants work best in Socastee's climate?

Palmetto trees provide height and shade, pink muhly grass adds late-season color, lantana offers months of blooms, and yaupon holly gives year-round structure.

How long does new sod take to root?

Most sod begins rooting within a week and is well established in two to three weeks when watered properly.

How often should I refresh mulch?

Most mulch needs refreshing once or twice a year. Pine straw breaks down faster and may need topping up every six months.

Do you offer one-time services or only contracts?

We handle both. You can schedule a single project or set up recurring maintenance.

Can you design a low-maintenance landscape?

Yes. We combine durable plantings, sod varieties that suit your light conditions, and simple hardscape layouts to reduce upkeep.
