About us

As a locally-owned business focusing on residential landscape design, installation and construction, we provide each customer with a beautiful solution tailored to their individual needs. We listen to what you have to say about your property, and work hard to make sure that your results maximize your budget while pleasing your aesthetic senses. Good landscape design involves much more than placing trees, shrubs, and other plants on your property. It is an art which deals with a conscious arrangement and organization of outdoor spaces for human satisfaction and enjoyment. A good plan is essential to a successful landscape installation. It is comparable to handing off a set of detailed architect's drawings to your General Contractor. We start with an in-depth interview to determine how you envision using and enjoying your landscape. Next, we take a complete site inventory and analysis to determine project opportunities and constraints. We then incorporate all of these elements into a comprehensive plan that fits your home and lifestyle. A well-thought out design improves access to the various parts of your outdoor living spaces and actually increases additional living spaces by creating private places for relaxing. Fine Lines Landscaping will design and install a landscape that best complements the style and layout of your home. When done well, landscaping compliments and enhances the architectural style of your home and is a permanent capital improvement, adding not only aesthetics, but also value to the property. According to real estate appraisers, a well-designed landscape can add as much as 40 percent to a property's value. We have 3 full-time employees and several seasonal employees. We use subcontractors to provide irrigation, grading and bobcat work. We are registered with the NC Landscape Registration Board and have been assigned 1465 as our registration number. We do not charge any trip fees for work in Wake County and there is no charge for the initial visit. We offer very competitive general labor rates; sometimes $10.00 less per hour than other landscaping companies. Fine Lines Landscaping wants to show appreciation to Angie's List by offering a 5% discount to it's members. We understand that you are taking the time to find qualified professionals and we want to show you that we are serious about our industry.

Response from Fine Lines Landscaping
Hi [members name removed] Thank you for taking the time to review our company. During our consultation you asked me to provide ideas and plant choices for 3-4 garden spaces in your front yard: the front foundation beds, the bed under the large maple tree, the bed at the driveway entrance, a new proposed bed near the mailbox and a bed midway up the right side of the driveway. I emailed you the planting suggestions and quantities on July 20th. I'm wondering if I missed something or if you did not get thst email. Please let me know if that is the case and I can forward you the original email.

They came out right away for estimate and then had the actual project manager come out the next day to show me the design they had in mind would work for us. The project manager was able to get a crew out there the day after his visit and they finished the project that same day - just in time for a weekend party we were hosting. The work was beautifully done and the crew was professional. They left no trash behind. I really appreciate the timeliness and professionalism of their work Regarding the price; the gave us a good price compare to another company we had hired to do the work. I had gotten an estimate for a 6 foot radius @ $2100. With Fine Lines we decided to go bigger to accommodate some changes, so the project ended up being about 12 ft x 12 ft for $2600.00. The prior company just went off the radar just before they were set to start the project. Left us scrambling to find another co. So glad Angie's List was here to help us find Fine Lines Landscaping.

She was great. She came out and gave me more time than the ad had said. She was very generous with her knowledge and her time. She was a pleasure to talk to. Her follow up is top notch. She said she’d send me price lists over the weekend, and followed through – she even sent me the name of a garden designer too. She was very prompt and professional.

Execution of this project was absolutely painless for us. Wendy listened to all our concerns, answered all our questions and caused us to trust her by keeping her word at every juncture. For example, I wanted to make sure we had unbroken termite protection as our home owners assoc. had recently taken aggressive action by hiring a pest company to protect every home in our townhouse neighborhood. Our plan called for the soil to be disturbed because we were going to put in a new walkway as well as foundation plantings. At first I called the pest control co. and explained the situation. They told me they might not be able to get to our job in a timely manner so that Wendy's co. might be held up. When I told Wendy about it she suggested that she speak with the pest control people directly and asked if that would be OK with me. Actually, I was relieved. So on the day this was to happen, Wendy's workers were finished with the preparation for the new walkway around 11:00AM. By 12:20PM I noticed the man from the pest control company working around the foundation. When he was finished he knocked on my door and said we were good to go. By 1:00PM Wendy's crew returned and started installing the new walkway. It was like a ballet coreographed perfectly. We were most impressed. And actually, the whole job went just as smoothly and efficiently. A wonderful experience! Plus now we have a fantastic yard.
Description of Work: After removing existing landscaping, installed foundation plants in front and side of house, built retaining wall, constructed new walkway, changed some guttering, rerouted water from gutter to under sidewalk.

Wendy is very experienced and she is a great communicator, she easily explains all the complicated concepts of gardening, soil erosion and hardscaping to someone as clueless such as myself. She offered a number of of very specific ideas for improvements in our yard that we can implement on our own right now. We will have to think trough what's broken in our yard, prioritize projects along with the price tag and plan for the future.

Response from Fine Lines Landscaping
Hi {member name removed}, Thank you for your honest review. I sincerely apologize that you did not have a positive experience with Fine Lines Landscaping. I have gone back and re-read our communications in the message center and realized that I thought the correspondence regarding a suggestion to meet at a certain date and time was written by me, when, in fact it was you who suggested that date and time after our first two messages. I honestly was waiting for a response from you to see if that date and time worked for you. That is why there was no communication. I had my account rep at Angie's List read our conversation and at first glance he also thought the same thing. That is not the standard that I run my business by as you can see from some of my other reviews. As for not questioning why you canceled the purchase, I realize that things come up for people and did not want to seem to pushy. I honestly thought you would just reschedule. Please accept my apology and know that I would be happy to resolve this by offering a free consultation to replace the deal in question. Please feel free to contact me directly at 919-740-0696. Again, I apologize for misreading our notes and would love the chance to earn your business back.

Wendy listened to my needs and was a prompt communicator. I had an issue with one of the stones on the wall that was built and she came the next day to address it. The only problem I encountered was a mis-communication regarding the size of stones ordered for me to complete the project. They were smaller than I had thought they were going to be/ we had discussed. In the future would clarify stone sizes and see the stones in person before delivery.

Wendy is a first class business woman who has an excellent team of professionals working for her. The work we had done was great in every way, on time, on budget and really exceeded our expectations. The stone work was a pain, I am sure as old stone had to be removed, cleaned and replaced and refilled with (gator dust - I think) It looks great and we are enjoying our new and improved garden.
Description of Work: Wendy and her team did stone work on our patio. This involved removing some inferior work done by another company and re-doing it, as well as putting in a stone wall around some trees she had installed for us.

The experience was superb. Wendy and her team were communicative, punctual, friendly, and did a fantastic job. My front yard looks incredible and the irrigation system works great. Neighbors commented on the beauty of the stone wall and the speed at which it was installed. It's been a month since the installation and other than the plants having grown tremendously, it looks as perfect as it did the day it was finished. Very happy.
Description of Work: Wendy built a natural stone retaining wall to terrace the harsh slope around a curving set of stone stairs. She cleaned, pruned, weeded, and mulched the entire front yard. She removed a gigantic holly bush and another large bush beside the house. She and her team installed new plants along the stone stairs. She installed a beautiful serpentine blue atlas ceder in place of the holly bush.

Completely satisfied with the work & the know-how of Wendy & her crew and we'll be calling on them again for more landscaping.
Description of Work: Wendy's crew did some beautiful stone work around a culvert; then they created beds at the end of our driveway with perennials & grasses. They also planted numerous crepe myrtles, hollies, a maple & a fringe tree - all with drip irritation & mulch. Next, they created a large vegetable garden with raised beds & mulched pathways.

We were more than satisfied with this first stage in our landscaping plans. i
Description of Work: Wendy and her crew arrived at appointed time and set about planting five 6 foot green giants, amended the soil and installed drip line irrigation.

Wendy and team were great and easy to work with. They came when they said they would and were done with almost lightning speed. The front area is not that large, but they had the entire yard tilled and raked in one day, and the sod laid the second day. Wendy was helpful in planning out some new plants to put in the new front beds. I can't wait til it starts to warm up a bit and the grass "wakes up" for the season. It already looks 10x better than the yard did previously - nobody wants to look at yucky weeds every day.
Description of Work: Wendy and her crew came out to spray our existing weed lawn with weed killer, roto-tilled the yard, raked up the weeds, hand-graded area for drainage and laid down zoysia sod. Took out the weeds in the center strip of driveway and laid down gravel. They also put in two new beds in the front to anchor two existing crepe myrtles. I should start by saying we bought our current house despite the yard - it was nothing other than crab grass and clover. It was by far the worst yard on our street. This was not a job that I thought I could undertake myself, we needed a professional to come out and totally "gut" the yard for a total start-over.

Identified several companies and Wendy was one of the first to respond. She came out to assess the areas we wanted work on and made constructive suggestions. We were so comfortable with her demonstrated knowledge and expertise that once we received her price we didn't look any further. She was attentive to our needs and listened to what we wanted. No over selling and I was extremely impressed with her knowledge about the plants and what would work best. I would recommend her to anyone regardless of if you want moderate clean-up and enhancements or more extensive work done. We will definitely be back should the need arise!

The project was a great success. This afternoon we were able to test the drains when there was a sudden rainstorm. Everything worked perfectly. There was no huge mud-lake in our backyard! In addition, the whole process was very pleasant. The team works well together. And they overcome obstacles calmly and professionally. For example, they encountered a huge nest of angry yellowjackets hidden in a plant that was being removed. Yikes! Sadly a few team members were stung, but I only knew about it after everyone had been calmly tended to and treated. Wendy and her team are very knowledgable, hardworking and dedicated to doing an excellent job. I can highly recommend Fine Lines Landscaping, and I look forward to continuing to phase in more landscaping projects with their assistance.
Description of Work: Wendy Kanable and her team did extensive work in our yard. Our primary problem was that rain regularly flooded our yard, and the water flow has been eroding the soil for years. She helped us fix the drainage on our property in a very attractive way. In the front yard, she tied the drainspouts into underground drains (that she and her team installed), which then brought the water to the curb. In the back yard, she created a dry creek bed, and installed another underground drain spout that to the stone. (See before and after photos) When the weather gets cooler, we will be putting in more plants to fill in and around the creek bed -- and I will be calling Fine Lines Landscaping to help with prepping the area, purchasing the plants, and placing them. In addition to addressing our drainage issues during this recent, Wendy also helped select and install an new tree for the front yard. She and her team did some re-planting, weed treatment, re-grading, and mulching of our yard.
