Forest Landscape Inc.

Forest Landscape is a family-run landscaping company that designs and builds outdoor living spaces. Its specialties include native plant design, concrete and paver work such as stamped concrete and exposed aggregate patios and driveways, retaining walls, water features, fencing and irrigation systems. The family began mowing lawns in 1999 and has grown steadily since.

Projects usually start with a meeting with an estimator or the landscape designer to review the plan and costs. Fence work can be built in wood, metal, chain link, aluminum or concrete, and the business also offers gate operators and access systems. The company's own nursery on 11 acres in Cornelius is open to the public seven days a week, and the team can help choose plants for a project.
