PlanTenders designs, builds, and cares for residential and commercial landscapes across Cary, Apex, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill — led by a licensed horticulturalist who treats every property like our own.
Most companies design it, or install it, or mow it. We stay for all three — which is why the plan actually survives contact with a North Carolina summer.
Site walk, drainage and sun mapping, and a planting plan matched to Piedmont clay and climate — with economical options at every step.
From a single refreshed bed to full outdoor living spaces, our installation crews build to the plan — and to code.
Year-round grounds care on a schedule built for your property, not a one-size route. Blades sharpened weekly; pests identified on every visit.
A landscape is a twelve-month project in the Triangle. Tap a month — the highlighted one is happening on our clients' properties today.
Every task is adjusted to your property's soil, sun, and plant palette.
From refreshed front beds to full water features — a look at the kind of work we do across the Triangle.
Real notes from real clients around the Triangle.
"Our neighbors are always remarking how nice and green the lawn looks. What I like most about PlanTenders is that they never cut the lawn too close… I never did tell them how I liked the lawn cut. They just knew how to do it right. I've received accolades from the Town of Cary and even researchers at NC State."
"There is always something blooming and I love it so much. Thank you for the great design — it is beautiful."
"Wow! You and your crew did a fantastic job. Everyone here was very impressed."
"I appreciate the time you took to explain the irrigation system to me — and even to adjust my lawn mower! The guys did a great job with the flowers."
"I can't believe how much they accomplished in just a few days. You have some hard workers."
PlanTenders was founded in 2004 by Scott Patten, an NC State graduate in Horticulture and Business and an NC Registered Landscape Contractor. Two decades later it still runs on the same idea: know the plants, know the soil, and treat every project like it's our own yard.
"This is my life and I LOVE it." — Scott Patten, Founder & CEO
