What we do
Design, install, and maintain. Lawns, beds, irrigation, and hardscape built for the climate they actually live in.
Paver patio installation in Leland and the surrounding Brunswick County area is one of our most requested services. A well-built patio adds usable outdoor space, holds up through coastal weather cycles, and does not require the upkeep that a wood deck does. We work with homeowners looking to create an outdoor living area and property managers looking to upgrade shared spaces.
French drains, catch basins, surface drainage, and stormwater system design for residential yards and commercial properties — the work most lawn contractors won't touch. Serving Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender Counties.
Stormwater pond maintenance, renovation, and water feature installation for HOA communities and residential properties across Brunswick County. We restore and maintain what others won't quote.

How it works
We'll get to know you, your property, and explore specific challenges you're facing.
We provide a transparent, upfront estimate for residential projects or a detailed proposal for commercial contracts. You review the scope of work and timeline before we schedule your service.
Our professional team arrives on schedule, utilizes top-tier equipment, and delivers immaculate results. Your residential or commercial grounds will look pristine, saving you time and enhancing your property's value.
How we build it
A landscape that fades fast usually fails for the same reasons: wrong plant in wrong spot, irrigation that overwaters or underwaters, and soil nobody amended before planting. We fix all three at install.
We pull a sample, check pH and structure, and amend with compost or drainage rock before anything goes in the ground.
Sun exposure mapped through the day, drainage observed. Plants chosen for the spot, not picked from a catalog.
Drip for beds, MP rotators for lawn, smart controller with rain sensor. Water goes where roots are, not on hardscape.
Two-to-three inches of bark, pulled back from trunks. Holds moisture, blocks weeds, doesn't rot stems.
Why Salty Dog Lawn Care & Landscaping
Most lawn companies mow and move on. We handle the work they won't quote: drainage, stormwater pond work, hardscapes, and full grounds management contracts across Brunswick County and the Cape Fear region.
Sun, shade, drainage, and soil type all matter. We plant what thrives where you're putting it, so things don't get replaced in year two.
Lawn, beds, and trees on separate zones with the right heads for each. Even coverage, no dry corners, no water on the driveway.
Mow, prune, and fertilize on a schedule that fits the plants we put in. No stranger guessing what's a weed and what isn't.
