Designed and built in-house.

Six disciplines under one roof. Most projects we draw involve some mix of them.

Every yard we draw involves some mix of these disciplines, composed against the architecture and the way you want to live.

From first walk to finished outdoor space.

Six clear steps, from the first conversation to the last walkthrough. We plan the scope, materials, and sequence together so you can understand how the work will move forward.

  • 01

    The conversation

    It starts on the property. We walk it together, look at the architecture, and listen to how you want the space to live. No drawings yet. Just the brief.

  • 02

    Reading the site

    Drainage, sun, sightlines, soil, the way the wind moves through. Before we put a line on paper, we understand what the property is asking for.

  • 03

    Drawing

    Hand sketches first, then dimensioned plans, then material samples laid against the existing facade. Revision is built into the schedule.

  • 04

    Specifying

    Stone supplier, brick coursework, plant palette, fixture aim, controller schedule. Every detail is specified to the property, never pulled from a stock list.

  • 05

    Building

    Yardie masons, gardeners, and irrigation crews execute the drawing. The same designer is on site at every milestone, with no handoff to a sub you've never met.

  • 06

    Looking after it

    First-year care visits establish plantings, catch any settling, and tune the irrigation through one full growing season. Most clients keep us on year-round.

Drawn first. Built once.

The Minshew pavilion as built

Minshew Residence, Greenville, NC · Drag to compare

I started Yardie because most yards are an afterthought. Handed off, subbed out, finished but not quite right.

We do it differently. We draw the property ourselves, our crew builds it, and we come back season after season to make sure it still feels like the place you wanted. That’s the only way we know how to work.

How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Eastern NC?

How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Eastern NC?

A practical 2026 range for Greenville and Eastern North Carolina, from a few thousand dollars for a planting refresh to $100,000+ for a full property design-build. Here is what actually drives the number.

Common questions.

The questions we’re asked most often before the first site visit. If yours isn’t here, send us a note. We answer every email ourselves.

All Questionsor send a message →
How does a project usually begin?
With a property visit. We walk the site together, listen to how you want to live in the space, and read the architecture of the house. The first conversation is at no cost and there's no pressure to commit afterward.
What does a Yardie project cost?
Every project is scoped individually after the first property visit. Cost depends on scope, materials, site conditions, and how many disciplines are involved. Once we've walked the property and agreed on the brief, you'll receive a written design fee and an itemized build estimate in writing, with nothing to commit to until you decide to move forward.
Do you design and build, or just one or the other?
We offer both design and installation. The plan brings planting, hardscape, masonry, lighting, and irrigation together. Your project scope identifies the work involved, how it will be coordinated, and the next steps before installation begins.
How long do projects take?
Design takes two to six weeks depending on scope. Construction varies. A focused install might take ten days; a full property redesign with hardscape and masonry runs eight to twelve weeks. We share an honest schedule before we start.
Where do you work?
Our home market is Greenville and the surrounding Pitt County towns: Winterville, Ayden, and Farmville. We routinely take projects in Washington, Kinston, New Bern, Goldsboro, Wilson, and Rocky Mount when the property and the brief warrant the travel.
