Salty Dog Lawn Care & Landscaping · Service area
Serving Leland, NC
Salty Dog is based in Leland and serves the entire county from here, so your crew is not driving in from 45 minutes away.
Leland is Salty Dog's home market, sitting at the western end of US-74/76 where Brunswick County meets the Cape Fear River. The growth corridor running from the Wilmington city limits out through Brunswick Forest, Compass Pointe, and the Lanvale Road subdivisions has made this one of the fastest-expanding municipalities in North Carolina, and that pace creates real work: builder-grade yards that need recovering, drainage problems from lots carved out of pine forest, and new homeowners dealing with sandy coastal soils for the first time. The Atlantic-influenced climate here brings long growing seasons and mild winters, which means turf and plantings need consistent attention from early spring through late fall to stay ahead of heat stress and weed pressure.
Including Brunswick Forest, Compass Pointe, Magnolia Greens, Hawkeswater at the River and the surrounding area.

Do you service all of Leland, including subdivisions off Lanvale Road and out toward Bolivia?
Leland is our home market and we work throughout Brunswick County, including the growth corridors along Lanvale Road, US-17 Business, and surrounding areas. Call us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
My backyard stays wet for days after a heavy rain. Is that a drainage issue or a grading issue?
Usually both. Low-lying Brunswick County lots often need a real drainage solution, like French drains, catch basins, or channel grading, rather than just added topsoil. We assess the site before recommending anything and can walk you through the options.
We moved into a new Leland subdivision and the builder sod is already struggling. What should we do first?
Builder-grade installs frequently use low-cost sod on compacted subsoil with minimal prep. A soil assessment usually reveals what is missing. From there it may be aeration, topdressing, a fertilization program, or a full turf renovation depending on the condition of the lawn. Call us to take a look.
