We create customized plans based on your lawns needs, ensuring consistent maintenance that keeps your landscape vibrant and well-manicured.

Designing your ideal landscape with Leisure Landscapes starts with a thorough consultation to understand your vision and the unique characteristics of your property. We craft a detailed design and itemized plan for materials and labor. Upon approval, the installation phase begins, ensuring that every detail is expertly executed to your satisfaction. 
Leisure Landscapes offers tailored landscape maintenance to enhance the appearance of your property year-round. With our Complete Care Plan, we provide comprehensive lawn and garden care, including seasonal flower planting, while our IrriGuard Protection Plan ensures the reliability of your irrigation system. Trust us to keep your landscape looking its best. 
Our professional outdoor lighting services help you enhance your landscape while providing safety and increasing property value. We offer two systems: low-voltage, which is ideal for energy efficiency and safety, and line-voltage, which is perfect for brighter, more intense lighting needs. We also provide system integration to allow full control of your lighting setup. 
Our fountain installation service is tailored to enhance the beauty of your landscape with stunning water features. We offer free consultations for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring that your fountain is not only beautiful but also built to last. Let us transform your space.

Patios, Walks & Walls by Leisure Landscapes are designed to balance functionality with curb appeal. Our skilled team works with various hardscape materials to bring your vision to life, from dry-stack stone walls to paver patios. We deliver durable, elegant outdoor features that suit any terrain or layout. 
Through our WaterSaver systems, we enable clients to utilize rainwater and AC condensate effectively. We offer scalable options, including small rain barrels and large underground reservoirs. Each setup supports your irrigation needs and helps reduce water waste. Our professional team primes your system to ensure a smooth and ready-to-use experience from the start. 
At Leisure Landscapes, we believe landscape trees offer exceptional long-term value. Comparable in cost to a window awning, an 8-foot deciduous tree provides significant savings by reducing summer cooling needs and allowing winter sunlight into your home. Beyond functionality, trees enrich your landscape with natural beauty, sound buffering, privacy screening, and seasonal interest. 
Leisure Landscapes specializes in installing fences that provide reliable protection, privacy, and visual appeal. Choose from wood, vinyl, ornamental metal, or masonry options, each suited for different levels of maintenance and longevity. We assist in navigating HOA requirements and design preferences. From concept to completion, we deliver fence solutions that blend seamlessly with your outdoor environment. 
At Leisure Landscapes, we design and install both natural ponds and elegant reflecting pools, tailored to harmonize with your landscape. Our natural ponds mimic nature using advanced filtration to keep water clean and balanced, while reflecting pools offer sleek, architectural elegance. Both provide lasting beauty and relaxation for your outdoor environment. 
At Leisure Landscapes, our irrigation systems are engineered for efficiency and reliability. Underground piping and precision sprinkler heads distribute water accurately across your lawn and beds. Rain sensors prevent unnecessary watering, while custom schedules optimize performance. From design to installation, we offer a seamless process to protect your investment and enhance your landscape. 
Create an outdoor sanctuary with our Decks & Arbors service, where every detail is customized to complement your landscape and home architecture.

Whether it's a screened dining area or a peaceful garden bridge, we deliver both beauty and lasting quality. 
Leisure Landscapes transforms your outdoor space with thoughtful garden designs that match your unique taste, whether classic, romantic, or tranquil. Every design is informed by your home's features and the character of the surrounding area. We focus on thoughtful plant arrangement, considering sunlight, dimensions, color palette, and texture for lasting beauty.

I interviewed 3 landscaping companies near me in Durham, NC and Paul's quote was the best of the bunch. His designs were much better than Bright Leaf Landscaping and his price was better than Agape Landscaping. He showed up on time and was the most seasoned and professional representative. My wife and I are very happy with the results. We are now having them handle our lawn care needs too. I highly recommend them.

Amazing work and customer service by these guys! They came out in December and did a landscape plan for us and we loved it. They planted everything in December before anyone knew we were on track to have such a crazy winter. Everything made it through thanks to their expert recommendations and care.

We were with another lawn care firm for several years before coming over to Leisure Landscapes and have been glad we did. They take excellent care of our house in Durham and are now starting to maintain our commercial property in Raleigh. They're affordable and very easy to work with, unlike other commercial landscaping services in Raleigh, NC.

This is our 3rd or 4th time using Leisure Landscapes. Paul Martin is a truly talented landscape designer and their team does incredible work. The first time we used them we had retaining walls, patio, modifications to a deck, flower beds and plantings, etc. done. We then later used them for all our lawn maintenance while we were out of town for 6 months. Now, we are using them to do the landscaping for our new house as well. Great work!
