Site Work/Grading
LandCare Innovations has knowledgeable and certified staff that can transform your property into a functional, environmentally sustainable and attractive landscape. Sitework services provide the foundation for any commercial project, large or small. We pay special attention to these services (grading, erosion control, retaining walls, environmental planning)—recognizing that planning and implementation must be performed according to the highest standards. Within this framework a project that is aesthetically and functionally satisfying can be crafted that will bring added value to your property.
The primary task of grading is to reorient the land for development. It is such an important task, that it is regulated in most areas. Proper drainage is crucial to all plans you may have for your property, and will go a long way to protect and preserve it. Adjacent properties and public roads must also be protected, as environmental concerns play an increasingly large role in landscape planning.
Design/Build
Design is both an art and a science. Both are needed to fully realize your grandest vision and to carefully see to the smallest detail. As your design consultant, we promise to bring both perspectives to every aspect of your project. We’ll also work with you to discover your style and sensibilities and how you want to express these. Our designers will draw upon the latest in horticultural advancements as well as their knowledge of land forms and human structures. Your finished project will be visually striking and foundationally solid.
Erosion Control
While your site is being prepared, it’s crucial to keep any soil erosion in check. Creating sustainable and desirable sites starts with proper site design. Our team of professionals has a long list of control measures they must use in the site preparation process. For example, we remove vegetation only where it’s truly necessary. Leaving as much as possible provides a natural way to curb erosion as well as reducing the cost of landscaping measures later.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can be used to manage sloping land, both as a way to control erosion and to improve the aesthetics. A terraced slope can accomplish both by using a series of small retaining walls. The resulting level areas could be used for gardens, walkways or playing areas for children. If an area is too steep to mow, a well-designed retaining wall can create a grade that is easier to mow while also providing easier access to an area.
Water Features
Water features add a sparkling dimension to your outdoor living area. From simple to complex, from classically elegant to playfully whimsical, they include a range of fountains, pools, ponds, cascades and waterfalls. Besides their visual beauty, water features add the sound of gently cascading water that soothes your senses and carries your stress away.
Water features come in all shapes and sizes, and are made from materials such as stone, granite, stainless steel and glass. We’ll assist you in discovering the perfect expression for your commercial property or your residence, while staying within your budget.
Landscaping
Landscaping involves arranging or modifying features of the grounds around a home or other building to improve the property. Most us of consider improvement in two ways: from the standpoint of aesthetic ideas and/or practical usage.
It’s often easier to recognize needed practical improvements. For instance, homeowners usually know that a walkway is broken up and needs repair, that a retaining wall should be built or that a garden area is in need of improved drainage. On the other hand, many of us find it more challenging to make a plan that will improve the aesthetics of a property.
It’s a process that may find you sorting through your essential priorities. For example, “How long am I going to stay in this house?”, and “is a future sale of the property more important than landscaping for my own tastes?” It really can raise a lot of issues and can take a long while to move through. Without help, you can easily start to feel overwhelmed by the many considerations and possible scenarios. But when you hire a seasoned and knowledgeable landscaping company, you have a team to guide you through the maze so you don’t get stuck. And you’re much more likely to make wise choices that will benefit your property for years to come.
How? Reputable landscape designers will help you to ask the right questions and can provide you with the experience and knowledge of what works well and what tends not to. We’ll help you to see where the focal points of your property may be, how to make changes that will emphasize its strengths, and minimize its weaknesses. There’s room for your creative input and vision too. Yet by working with our team of professional landscape designers we’ll show you the potential of your land so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Call our experienced professionals today—you can relax knowing you’re in capable hands with one of the finest landscaping companies around.
Irrigation
To attain and maintain a lush and green look for your property in the Carolinas, an irrigation system is a necessity. The irrigation professionals at LCI work with you to design a system that best fits your property’s lawn areas and overall landscape. A well-designed irrigation system will help you to save money and reduce your environmental impact. How?
Fact: water usage is the largest ongoing cost of any irrigation system. In many communities the cost of water has increased sharply in recent years, and this trend is expected to accelerate. The objective is to use less water while maintaining healthy and verdant grass, flowers and shrubs.
New developments in irrigation technology make possible a degree of precision in watering techniques not previously available. The advantages of a new irrigation system include:
- Areas more evenly watered, preventing over or under watering
- Reduces water loss from evaporation and run-off—much less water used while improving your lawn’s absorption and lowering your bill
By using less water you are substantially reducing your bill and helping to conserve a vital natural resource. And your property’s lawn will retain its high marks for appearance and health, while staying within budget!
We also offer all-point inspections and full service maintenance for existing irrigation systems. Call our irrigation experts today for more details.
Property Maintenance
Your investment in your property has paid off—it looks elegant and proportional, always making a strong visual impression. Of course you want it to stay this way, so what’s the next step? LandCare Innovations has a maintenance plan that we will customize for you. Our professionals approach each property like it’s their own, paying careful attention to every detail, bringing the talent, tools, and technology that keep your property in superb shape from season to season. Listed are some of our maintenance priorities:
- Comprehensive maintenance programs
- Well manicured turf and tended planting beds
- Courteous & professional crews
- Seasonal color enhancements & displays
- Site improvement initiative
- Attention to cleanliness and site safety
- Scheduling to meet your needs
- Budget conscious seasonal contracts
Low Voltage Lighting
Most commercial buildings now have as much exterior as interior space to light, as outdoor lighting has become more prominent. Exterior lighting helps shape the way your property is perceived while it also plays an important role in safety. Whether you want to light pathways and parking areas or you simply want to illuminate your building, there are more ways to do so than ever.
The choices in energy-saving low voltage lighting products have soared in recent years. With advances in technology, low voltage lighting (LVL) has become the system of choice for many. It makes great business sense, since often the long run cost savings can actually pay for the systems. The savings are jaw-dropping and the positive buzz you can receive by positioning your company as being an environmentally sustainable business will also draw clients your way.
Many LVL systems are increasingly using LED lighting. LED (light emitting diode) bulbs and LVL systems have major advantages over conventional ones, including:
- Longer life: 50,000 hour LED lamp life (12-15 years!)—this is 10-15 times longer than conventional bulbs
- Super efficient: 93% less energy consumed with LED lighting than conventional bulbs—puts a big dent in your power bill
- Improved aesthetics: Less wire required to install, can be easily hidden
- Safer: standard LVL 12 volt systems are shockless—compare with dangerous 120 volt conventional systems use
