Landscape Installations in The Dunes

Custom Planting and Bed Design

Every yard in The Dunes has its own light, wind, and layout. We've seen front entries benefit from a line of dwarf yaupon holly for structure, softened with pink muhly grass that shows off its plumes in fall. In sunny corners, lantana works hard, blooming from early summer until frost. For shaded areas under oaks, camellias or ligustrum bring greenery through winter without a lot of extra work. We shape the beds to fit the home's style, give them clean edges, and plant in layers so something is always in bloom or leaf.

Sod Installation for an Instant Lawn

When a lawn needs to look finished right away, sod is the answer. We strip away old turf, check the grading so water drains the right way, and mix in a soil amendment that helps roots take hold. Bermuda creates a fine, tight surface for sunny lawns, while Zoysia offers a softer texture and handles foot traffic well. Shadier yards often do better with Centipede grass. We lay sod in offset seams so it knits together quickly, water it in, and leave you with a simple watering and mowing plan for the first few weeks.

Lawn Care and Upkeep

Scheduled Mowing and Edging

Mowing schedules aren't the same for every lawn. We adjust how often we mow and how high we cut based on the grass type and the season. Once the mowing is done, we edge along drives, walks, and beds so the lawn has a sharp outline.

Fertilization and Aeration

In The Dunes, we usually aerate warm-season grasses in spring so roots can expand before summer heat. Fertilization happens when the lawn will use it most, giving the grass enough strength to stay green through the hottest months and recover afterward.

Plant and Bed Maintenance

Mulch Installation

Mulch keeps soil cool, holds moisture, and makes beds look tidy. Pine straw blends well with evergreens, while hardwood mulch suits a mix of shrubs and perennials. We clear beds, cut a clean edge, and spread mulch so it's deep enough to help plants but not so much that roots suffer.

Hedge and Shrub Trimming

We trim hedges to keep their shape and encourage thick growth. Flowering shrubs, like azaleas and hydrangeas, are pruned at the right time so they'll bloom again the following year. Evergreen shrubs get light shaping to stay full without looking overdone.

Hardscaping Services

Patios and Walkways

A paver patio off the back porch makes a natural spot for a table and chairs. A curved walkway with low plantings can turn a plain side yard into a feature. We choose materials that work with your home and hold up to salt air and coastal weather.

Retaining Walls and Garden Borders

Retaining walls can make a sloped part of the yard into a place for planting or seating. Borders---stone, brick, or metal---keep mulch and soil in place and define planting areas. Both add structure and cut down on maintenance.

Ongoing Maintenance Plans

Residential and HOA Services

We maintain individual properties and common spaces within The Dunes. Weekly or bi-weekly visits might include mowing, edging, trimming, and checking that beds and hardscapes are in good order.

Seasonal Cleanups

Cleanups are a chance to reset the yard. In spring, we might refresh mulch, prune away winter damage, and get lawns growing again. In fall, we focus on clearing leaves, cutting back perennials, and readying beds for cooler months.

FAQs About Landscaping in The Dunes

What plants work best in The Dunes?

Salt-tolerant plants like palmetto, pink muhly grass, dwarf yaupon holly, lantana, and agapanthus handle the conditions well. They keep their shape and color without needing constant care.

How long does new sod take to establish?

Most sod starts to root in about a week. By the third week, it's usually ready for light foot traffic, as long as watering has been consistent.

Do you offer design services for outdoor entertaining areas?

Yes. We can plan plantings and hardscape layouts so patios, pools, and outdoor kitchens feel connected and easy to use.

Can you design for low maintenance?

We often recommend hardy plants, grass varieties suited to the light they'll get, and hardscapes that reduce lawn space to make upkeep easier.

How often should mulch be replaced?

Once or twice a year works for most properties. Pine straw may need a touch-up every six months since it breaks down faster.
