How we work

We sort out the water before we lay a stone

Most of the outdoor work that fails around here fails underneath: a base that was never compacted, a wall with nowhere for the water to go, a patio laid to the wrong fall. We start with the grading and the drainage, so the part you paid to look at stays where we put it.

More about us
  • Licensed, insured and localLandscape Corporate License #CL0845 and Landscape Contractor License #2648, NCNLA membership, and a zero complaint record with the Better Business Bureau.
  • Engineered, not just laidWalls, patios and drainage are designed by an NC State engineering graduate, so the base underneath is built to carry the job it has been given.
  • The owner walks your propertyMike Palmer comes out himself, walks the site with you, makes suggestions and prices the work before anything is ordered or dug.

Why homeowners call us back

Mike Palmer started Turf & Scapes in 1998 and still walks every property himself before anything is priced. You get his number, his crew, and a quote that covers the base and the drainage rather than leaving them out to look cheaper.
