Expert Horticultural Landscaping Rooted in Science, Sustainability, and Beauty in Cary, Apex, and Raleigh, NC.
Not all landscaping challenges can be solved with design alone. Sometimes, it takes a deeper understanding of the land, the soil, and the plants themselves. At Ponti Landscapes, our horticultural landscaping services are designed for homeowners who want more than curb appeal — they want to make informed decisions based on plant health, sustainability, and long-term performance.
We offer science-based consultations and diagnostics that help you care for your landscape with clarity and confidence.
What Is Horticultural Landscaping?
Horticultural landscaping focuses on the health, function, and suitability of the living elements in your outdoor space. It combines practical landscape design with plant science, allowing us to make informed recommendations about your lawn, trees, shrubs, garden beds, and overall growing conditions.
This service is ideal for homeowners who:
Want to improve or restore an existing landscape
Are dealing with disease, pests, or declining plant health
Need help selecting the right plants for sun, shade, soil, and season
Are starting fresh and want to build a long-term plan for a healthy, thriving yard

Our horticultural services are project-based or consultation-based and may include:
Landscape evaluations for plant selection, spacing, and environmental suitability
