Landscape Design

Metro GreenScape's custom and professional landscape design plans are created with you and your future in mind: from use of your outdoor space to where power lines run to avoid damage from tree branches and roots as they grow. Where trees might deprive a deck of sun, shorter varieties should be considered. Remember, too, that it is better to spend a bit more on rock or concrete materials that will last than pay less for those that tend to break down quickly. Designing outdoor living spaces is a relatively new art and one we take very seriously! If you would like to talk to an Outdoor Living Specialist about a design plan, please Metro GreenScape at 704.504.0980.

BRRR! CHARLOTTE'S WEATHER IS COLD

Many of our plants aren't used to the low-low temperatures, which is why you need to have someone looking out for the plants in your yard because every year poses different problems due to drastic changes in weather. (Last Christmas day it was close to 70 degrees--this year... well...BRRR!)

When plants go into shock they are vulnerable to diseases, fungus and early death. Simply watering and fertilizing these plants doesn't solve the problem and most of these signs aren't seen by the naked eye until the plant dies.

Prepare now for a beautiful summer lawn and landscape by contacting Metro GreenScape at 704.504.0980.
