Landscape Design & Installation in 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.
Most landscape design inquiries from Wilmington come through referral -- a neighbor who saw a finished install in Leland, or a property manager who already has a Salty Dog commercial account and wants design work on the New Hanover County side of the river. The team crosses the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge or MLK Jr. Parkway regularly for consultations and installs, and brings the same site walkthrough and computer-rendered layout preview to Wilmington properties that it uses on every job across the service area.
Coastal Carolina plants face salt air, sandy soil, and brutal summer heat. We select species that survive the actual conditions rather than ones that look good at the nursery in March. Planting plans are drawn to scale before installation; beds are properly amended and mulched. We install trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, perennials, and seasonal color for residential properties, HOA entrances, and commercial frontages across Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender Counties.
About Wilmington
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.

Everything we do in Wilmington →Common questions
Do you service Wilmington even though you're based in Leland?
Yes. Wilmington is a primary service area -- the drive across the Cape Fear is short, and the team works regularly in New Hanover County on both residential and commercial accounts.
Do you handle one-time installation projects or only ongoing maintenance?
For Wilmington customers: both. We handle one-time landscape design and installation as well as ongoing maintenance. Many customers start with an installation project and then stay with us for regular upkeep afterward.
