I am very impressed with the sod and mulch renovation and new tree install project provided by Blade & Border. The owner Josh arrived promptly for the initial appointment, was timely and kind in his communications throughout the process, and proposed a fair market rate. I had requested a sod border around my entire home as well as a front garden bed and front dead tree renovation. Josh walked the property with me as we discussed options and then reiterated back to me my expectations. Josh completed all of the work himself within just 2 days while also communicating next steps. Josh is incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sod, plants, and overall design options. He is also a good listener and very detailed in labor execution. Our home border and front plant border had not been maintained for 2 years. Josh transformed it within hours! I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a new install or renovation project at any level contact Josh for a consult. You will not be disappointed with the process or the final product! Many of my neighbors continue to comment about the upgrade to the yard and plants. I am including 4 before photos and 4 after photos to see the transformation. The difference is obvious. I will be requesting services again for our next project. Thank you, Josh!!

Expert Plant Installation in Fuquay-Varina, NC
Plant installation in Fuquay-Varina, NC starts with understanding what your soil and yard can actually support. Blade and Border selects and places trees, shrubs, ornamentals, and ground covers suited to your property's sun exposure, drainage, and grade. Fuquay-Varina sits in USDA Zone 8a and is known for dense red clay soil that limits root development and holds moisture after rain. We prep beds before any plant goes in the ground. That means loosening compacted soil, amending as needed, and setting each plant at the right depth and spacing. Sloped yards common to this area get extra attention so new plantings stay anchored and beds hold their shape. Whether you are starting with bare beds or replacing plants that have not performed, we build a layout that fits your property and reduces the upkeep you deal with week to week. Contact Blade and Border to schedule a plant installation walkthrough in Fuquay-Varina.
