We grade, build and plant for both older Gastonia neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, fitting each design to the lot it's built on. Gastonia homeowners receive a free estimate at the property without a trip fee.
There's no Gastonia office to visit since our crew brings the estimate to your property. We work across Gastonia and the surrounding towns every week, we know the I-85 Exit 20 route onto New Hope Road and Garrison Boulevard, and we build the day's schedule to get to your lot and arrive when we told you.
The Schiele Museum of Natural History is located at 1500 East Garrison Boulevard, Gastonia, NC 28054.
The Schiele Museum opened on July 24, 1961, as the Gaston County Museum of Natural History. The City of Gastonia took it over in 1964.
The museum has been a Smithsonian Affiliate since 2001. It includes a planetarium and outdoor exhibits with a nature trail, Catawba Indian Village and historical farm.
Bare or tired Gastonia yards are best planned after grade and drainage are understood. Paver patios need a prepared base, and planting beds can serve homes or non-residential grounds when their edges and soil preparation fit the site.
A bare or tired yard in Gastonia usually needs a grade check before any plan is drawn. Newer subdivision lots can have compacted fill a few inches below the sod, which changes how deep a bed needs to be prepared, while older lots may have better topsoil but settled, uneven ground near the house.
Hardscape follows the same logic. A paver patio on compacted fill needs a base built up correctly rather than relying on existing subsoil to hold its shape, and a planting bed on either lot type needs soil amended to match what's actually underneath it, not what the surface looks like.
Levels compacted-fill Gastonia subdivision lots before beds or sod go in.
Builds a proper base on fill-graded Gastonia lots so pavers don't shift after the first season.
Prepares soil to match what's under either an older in-town lot or a newer compacted-fill lot.
Screens property lines on newer Gastonia subdivision lots after checking the available space.
Selects planting depth based on whether compacted fill sits close to the surface on the property.
Coordinates beds, lawn and hardscape as one plan for Gastonia lots.
Evens uneven turf on older in-town Gastonia lots without disturbing existing drainage.
The City of Gastonia operates its own Stormwater Utility through the Stormwater Department and charges a monthly stormwater fee. Drainage on private property is the property owner’s responsibility.
From I-85, take Exit 20, New Hope Road, south and turn right onto Garrison Boulevard. The museum is on the right just past Grier School.
We probe the soil at several points in the planned bed area and look at how quickly water sits on the surface during the visit.
We plan bed edges, access and equipment the same way for larger grounds as for a house lot, working around existing signage and walkways.
We confirm how deep the compacted fill sits and build the paver base up from there rather than assuming the existing subsoil is already compacted enough.
