McPlants

Since 1985 McPlants has been designing and creating the type of landscapes that bring greater value to your life and property every day. Unique custom gardens that spark your joy with beauty and easy maintenance. Smarter gardens - not just bland landscapes with a few plants stuck in the ground. Our landscape designs relax and inspire you year round with seasonal interest while avoiding the high maintenance hassles created from poor design. Understanding and addressing your outdoor desires, goals, and challenges with cost effective solutions are what McPlants founder Craig McManus calls "Solutioneering".

Retaining walls are a great strategy for adding more usable space to your property - no doubt about it. Or maybe you have the desire to define an area into a garden room with a free standing garden wall. McPlants builds garden and retaining walls that work. We are certified by NCMA in segmented retaining wall installation. Understanding the dynamics of placing and building walls comes with the thousands of square feet we have successfully installed. Every wall we build is designed to complement your landscape and is perfectly crafted for strength, durability, and style.

I'd be upset. How about you? Well maybe you're not, because you don't realize how much plant health and beauty are being robbed from you every time they get whacked —- I mean sheared. Whacking your plants into submission will shorten their life, harm structural integrity, and you will never enjoy the true beauty potential. The full potential of natural form, texture, and colors are lost. Better plant selection during the design process would have solved much of the problem. Since you have what you have —- the correct landscape pruning technique will still produce a healthier plant.

Water that wears out its welcome is a bad thing. Who needs the rot and diseases in their landscape that is promoted by water hanging around too long? You will rest easier knowing that your grading and drainage systems are protecting your property and landscape investments.

Step on up to the best built walkways, drives and patios. Today, interlocking concrete pavers provide you more strength, durability, and range of design.

So many of us never get to see our landscape because it's dark when we leave in the morning and dark when we return home in the evenings. That only leaves the weekends. Sounds like the squirrels and chipmunks see your garden more than you. Even if you get the full enjoyment out of your landscape during the day. How cool would it be when at dusk a switch automatically flips on your outdoor landscape lighting doubling your garden pleasure? Each night your hiding in the dark plants and structures are transformed into new landscape joy.
