Where we work · Arden, NC
Landscaping in Arden that belongs to these mountains.
South Asheville's established neighborhoods — Royal Pines, the streets off Sweeten Creek — come with mature trees, older foundation plantings, and gardens that were planted once in 1994 and lightly regretted since.
A lot of our Arden work is renovation: keeping the good bones (a fifty-year oak, a stone walk worth saving) and rebuilding the plantings around them for the way people actually live now.
Local notes
What we know about Arden ground.
Renovation pruning and honest removals first — half of every overgrown Arden foundation bed is two shrubs that ate the other six.
Mature-canopy shade gardens: oakleaf hydrangea, foamflower, and ferns where builder junipers gave up decades ago.
Lots near Lake Julian and the flats drain slowly — French drains and downspout tie-ins fix more Arden crawlspaces than dehumidifiers do.
HOA neighborhoods get from-us drawings that pass architectural review the first time — we've learned what each board likes.
If your Arden garden peaked when the house was built, that's exactly the renovation work we like best. The consult will tell you what's worth keeping — usually more than you think.
