Sod Installations
A new lawn doesn’t start with grass — it starts with proper preparation. At NC Turf Care, our sod installations are built around soil conditioning, correct grading, and selecting the right turf variety for your property’s sun exposure and usage. Whether you’re replacing failing turf or starting fresh, we install sod that establishes quickly and holds up to North Carolina’s climate.
Sod varieties we install include:
Fescue • TifTuf Bermuda • Zoysia • Zenith Zoysia • Zeon Zoysia
Not sure which is right for your yard? We’ll guide you based on sunlight, drainage, and how your lawn is used.
Mulch & Pine Straw Installation
Mulch and pine straw aren’t just cosmetic — they play a critical role in moisture retention, weed suppression, and soil temperature control. At NC Turf Care, we install mulch and pine straw with proper depth, clean edging, and plant-safe spacing to avoid rot and overcrowding. Whether you’re refreshing existing beds or completing a new installation, our team focuses on uniform coverage and long-lasting results that elevate curb appeal while supporting plant health.
Available options and placement are selected based on plant type, exposure, and overall landscape design.
Landscape
Design
A cohesive landscape doesn’t happen by accident — it starts with a clear plan. Our landscape design services include collaboration with a professional designer to create a drawn layout tailored to your property, goals, and budget. We consider layout, plant selection, spacing, and long-term growth to ensure your landscape looks intentional from day one and continues to mature gracefully over time.
Whether you’re planning a full transformation or improving specific areas, our designs give you a clear roadmap before any installation begins.

Trees &
Shrubs
Trees and shrubs provide the structure and backbone of a well-designed landscape. Our installation process focuses on proper placement, spacing, and soil preparation to promote healthy root development and long-term growth. We select plant material suited to North Carolina conditions and your property’s sun, drainage, and layout — avoiding overcrowding and future maintenance issues.
The result is a landscape that grows into its design rather than outgrowing it.
Garden Bed & Seasonal Flowers
Garden beds and seasonal flowers bring color, texture, and personality to your outdoor space. From structured garden bed installations to rotating seasonal color, we design and install plantings that complement your home and existing landscape — without overwhelming it. Our team considers bloom cycles, color balance, and maintenance needs to keep your beds looking fresh throughout the year.
Whether you want subtle accents or bold seasonal color, we install with intention and balance.
