Pruning and Trimming

 

Expertly pruning trees and bushes takes skill, mainly with big trees. Many prefer to leave it to the pros. We know gardening, and we offer accurate pruning and trimming. This keeps your lawn looking good and ensures your trees and bushes stay healthy.

Weed, Pest, & Disease

 

We have services for weed, bug, and disease control. We’re licensed and follow all the rules for using pesticides and fungicides. Whether you need help now with a problem or want a plan to keep your lawn safe from future issues, Top Gardens is here.

Leaf Removal & Fall Cleanup

Big trees add beauty to homes in Charlotte, NC. But when fall comes, the leaves can be a pain. When leaves pile up on your grass, it can cause fungus and mold, hurt your grass, and create dead spots. Plus, a lawn full of leaves looks messy. The best way to handle leaves is to hire a pro like Top Garden Inc. We’ll give your lawn a thorough cleaning, removing all the leaves and leaving it clean and tidy.

Garden Drainage

 

Charlotte’s sudden, heavy rainstorms and high humidity can quickly flood your landscape. When excess water pools in your flower beds, it washes away vital nutrients and breeds destructive root rot, mold, and plant diseases. At Top Gardens, we don’t just treat surface water—we engineer lasting yard drainage solutions like custom French drains tailored to your property’s slope. We specialize in redirecting runoff away from ornamental beds to protect your high-value plants, shrubs, and trees from waterlogging, keeping your garden thriving year-round.

Garden Pathways & Walkways

 

An aesthetically pleasing landscape needs proper form and flow. The lack of a designated walking path can cause excessive damage to the landscape through soil compaction and muddy footprints all around your property. Top Garden Landscaping will design and build you a walking path that will complement your landscape using natural stepping stones, interlocking paving stones, or even a gravel path for you.

Sod Installation

 

Sod is a fast way to lay green garden cover. But it’s not as easy as rolling out a carpet. It takes skill to install it correctly. Top Garden will pick fresh, healthy sod that is right for your grass. Then, we’ll prep the soil, lay the sod, and tell you how to care for it. Your lawn can go from bare dirt to lush grass in just one day.
