Big landscaping jobs go wrong when nobody owns the whole picture. At Greenway, the person who designs your yard walks the job every week until it's done.
See it before we build it
A 3D design preview of your yard, so you can change your mind on screen instead of in the dirt.
One fixed price
Your proposal lists every material and every line item. The number we sign is the number you pay.
Our own crews
No day-labor subcontractors. Every installer is on our payroll and trained on our standards.
Plants that suit Raleigh
We plan for clay soil, humid summers and the occasional ice storm, so your yard looks good in year five too.
If a plant we installed dies within a year, we replace it. No forms, no arguing about watering.
A yard should get better every year
I grew up mowing lawns in Garner and studied horticulture at NC State. After a few years at a big commercial firm, I missed seeing people actually enjoy the spaces we built.
Greenway started in 2011 with one trailer and a handful of neighbors who trusted me with their back yards. Most of them are still clients today.
We stay small enough that I still walk every design myself. If you call the office, there's a good chance you'll talk to me.

“Daniel took a soggy, sloped back yard and turned it into the place we spend every evening. The drainage alone was worth it. Not one puddle since.”
“The 3D preview sold us. What they built looks exactly like the design, down to where the lights hit the oak.”
“Same crew every week and they actually notice things, like a sprinkler head that broke. Our lawn has never looked this good.”
“Three bids, and theirs was the only one that listed every material. Final bill matched to the dollar.”
“Two shrubs didn't make it through the summer. They swapped them out without me even asking.”
“Clean job site every single day. My neighbors asked for their number before the patio was even done.”

How much does landscaping cost in Raleigh?
Planting refreshes usually run $2,500 to $12,000. Paver patios typically land between $9,500 and $45,000 depending on size, stone and walls. Your proposal is a fixed price, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Is the design fee credited back?
Yes. If we build the project, your design fee is credited in full against the install.
How long does a project take?
Design takes two to three weeks. Most installs take one to three weeks once we break ground. We book about four to six weeks out in spring, so fall and winter are great times to plan.
What does your plant guarantee cover?
Any tree, shrub or perennial we install is guaranteed for one year. If it dies, we replace it at no charge. Hardscapes carry a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold NC Landscape Contractor license #1873, carry general liability and workers' comp, and pull permits when the job needs them.
Do you offer financing?
Projects over $5,000 qualify for 0% financing for 18 months. Pre-qualifying takes about a minute and won't affect your credit score.
Can you fix drainage and standing water?
Yes. Raleigh clay holds water, so drainage is a big part of our work. We use French drains, dry creek beds and regrading, and we show you where the water will go before we start.
