You get intentional planting beds, defined borders, pathways that make sense, and plant selections that survive local conditions without constant attention.

McGinn Landscaping handles landscape planning, design, and installation including planting, sod, hardscape features, and layout adjustments that improve both appearance and function. Projects are planned around sun exposure, drainage, soil type, and how the property is used, with options for sustainable plant choices and low-maintenance designs for homeowners or businesses that want curb appeal without weekly upkeep.

What the Work Involves and What You End Up With

The project in Boiling Springs starts with a site walkthrough and design consultation, where you talk through goals, budget, and problem areas. A layout is created that includes plant placement, bed borders, sod or groundcover areas, and any hardscape elements like edging, mulch, or stone.

When installation is finished, you'll have defined planting areas that don't bleed into turf, plants sized and spaced to fill in without crowding, and a yard that looks cohesive rather than patchy. Watering and maintenance requirements drop because plants are chosen for the conditions they'll actually grow in.

Installation includes soil amendment, mulching, and initial watering to help plants establish. It does not include ongoing irrigation system installation unless specified, though planting layouts can be designed to work with existing or planned irrigation zones.

Answers to questions that come up during planning

Homeowners and property managers in Boiling Springs typically ask about plant selection, how long it takes for the landscape to fill in, and what happens if something doesn't grow as expected.

How do you choose which plants to include?
Plants are selected based on sun exposure, soil drainage, mature size, and maintenance preference. Native and adapted species are prioritized when you want lower water use and fewer pest issues.
How long does it take for a new landscape to look full?
Most shrubs and perennials take one to two growing seasons to fill their space, while sod establishes in a few weeks. Planting smaller, younger stock reduces cost and allows plants to adapt better, though larger specimens can be used if you want immediate presence.
What happens if a plant dies after installation?
You'll need to check whether the plant was watered according to the establishment schedule and whether any site conditions changed. Many installers offer a short-term warranty on plant material, but long-term survival depends on proper care after the crew leaves.
Can you work around existing trees or features?
Yes, the design can incorporate existing trees, hardscape, or structures you want to keep. Root zones and canopy spread are considered when placing new plants or grading soil near mature trees.
What is included in a sustainable landscape design?
Sustainable designs use native or low-water plants, reduce turf areas, incorporate mulch to retain moisture, and group plants by water needs. The goal is to lower irrigation, fertilizer, and maintenance inputs while supporting local pollinators and wildlife.
