Salty Dog Lawn Care & Landscaping · Service area

Serving Wilmington, NC

From Leland, Wilmington is a 10-to-15-minute drive north via US-17 across the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, or through the MLK Jr. Parkway corridor depending on which part of the city the job is in.

Wilmington sits just across the Cape Fear River from Leland, and that short bridge crossing puts Salty Dog within easy reach of a city with two very different faces: the older residential streets of Forest Hills and Sunset Park, and the fast-growing HOA and apartment corridors along Porters Neck Road and the College Road spine. Market Street and Carolina Beach Road each carry their own mix of commercial and residential properties, and the flat coastal terrain means drainage and turf problems here look a lot like they do in Brunswick County -- compacted soils, subdivisions where builder-grade sod never got proper follow-up, and stormwater ponds required in nearly every development built in the last 30 years. Salty Dog's full service range runs across county lines without a gap.

Including Landfall, Porters Neck, Forest Hills, Monkey Junction and the surrounding area.

Their owner came out to meet us. Their estimates were competitive, they were clear in their communications, punctual, and overall a pleasure with which to do business. There were no omissions or bad surprises! Our yard after 2 visits looks tremendous.

Jason and his crew did an amazing job putting a new patio in our yard. The pavers were exactly what we were looking for. Jason was very professional and took his time with us to understand what we were looking for, then he generated a computer image of what it would look like up against our house. Price was very competitive and right in our budget.
