Garden design & planting
A planting plan drawn for your light, your soil and how much time you want to spend in the garden — then planted by our crew, bed by bed.

A yard that grows
the way you hoped
it would.
Moss & Maple designs, plants and keeps gardens and lawns around Raleigh, Cary, Apex and Durham — planned for Carolina clay and Triangle summers, not copied from a catalogue.

What we do
Four kinds of work, one careful standard.
Lawn care
Mowing, edging, feeding and overseeding on a steady schedule, so the lawn stays even through the Triangle's hot summers and mild winters.
Seasonal cleanups
Spring wake-ups and fall leaf clear-outs: beds cleared, shrubs shaped, mulch refreshed and the yard put to bed properly.
Paths, beds & borders
Stone edging, new beds and simple walkways that give a yard its shape — built to sit well with the house, not fight it.
Recent kinds of work

Why Moss & Maple
Planned for this place, not any place.
Plants that belong here
We plant what thrives in Piedmont soil and humidity, so your garden gets easier to keep, not harder, as it grows in.
One crew, start to finish
The people who draw the plan are the people who plant it. Nothing gets lost between a sketch and a shovel.
Written plans, no surprises
Every job starts with a short written plan and a price agreed in advance. If something changes mid-job, you hear it from us first.
How it works
From first walk to first bloom.
- 1
Walk the yard together
We visit, look at light, soil and drainage, and talk about what you want the yard to do — play, cookouts, quiet mornings, all of it.
- 2
A plain written plan
You get a short written plan: what will be planted or built, in what order, and what it will cost. Nothing starts until you agree.
- 3
We do the work
Our crew arrives on the agreed days, keeps the site tidy, and walks you through everything before we leave.
- 4
We come back
New plantings get a check-in visit, and lawn care runs on the schedule you chose — pause or stop whenever you like.
Kind words
What neighbours say.
“Our front beds were a tangle of whatever the last owner planted. Moss & Maple drew a simple plan, planted it in two days, and now the walk to the door feels like ours.”
“They mow every other Friday and the lawn finally looks like the one I picture when I think of home. I never have to call and remind them.”
Questions
Before you ask for a quote.
Do you work on small yards, or only large properties?
Small yards are most of our work. A townhouse front bed or a shady side strip is a fine project — tell us what you have and we will tell you honestly what fits.
Which plants do you use?
Plants suited to the Triangle — heat, humidity and Carolina clay. We favour plants that thrive here with ordinary care, and we tell you what each one needs.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No. Most clients give us gate access on the first visit. We send a short message when we arrive and when we finish.
Which areas do you serve?
Raleigh, Cary, Apex and Durham, North Carolina. If you are just outside those towns, ask anyway — we take nearby yards when the route allows it.
