Landscape Installation

in Charleston, SC

Creating a beautiful, functional outdoor space starts with a strong foundation—and at Cramers Landscaping, that foundation is our expert landscape installation service. Based in Charleston and serving the surrounding Lowcountry, we specialize in transforming blank or outdated lots into living, thriving environments designed for both immediate impact and long-term success.

Whether you’re building a new home, reviving an aging lawn, or adding curb appeal to a rental or commercial property, our landscape installation services are tailored to your goals, budget, and future plans.

What Is

Landscape Installation?

Landscape installation is the process of designing and installing the core living elements of your outdoor space—everything from grading and soil preparation to sod, plantings, mulch, and beds. It’s more than planting flowers or laying grass. It’s a strategic, site-specific process that balances design, drainage, sustainability, and visual appeal. At Cramers Landscaping, we install:

    • Sod and turf (Zoysia, Bermuda, St. Augustine, and more)
    • Trees, shrubs, and native plantings
    • Flower beds and seasonal color rotations
    • Bed edging and borders
    • Mulch and pine straw
    • Soil grading and amendment
    • Groundcover and erosion control

We also coordinate with our irrigation installation team to ensure your new landscape is supported from day one.

Our Installation Process

We approach every landscape installation project with a clear, proven process:

Consultation

We meet with you on-site to assess your property, goals, and vision. Whether it’s a full front yard install, a side bed refresh, or a complete backyard transformation, we take the time to understand what matters most.

Design + Planning

Our team builds a custom plan that includes plant layout, material choices, soil or grading needs, and long-term growth considerations. We focus on native and zone-appropriate plants that will thrive in Charleston’s hot summers, mild winters, and occasional salt exposure.

Site Prep + Grading

Proper prep is key. We grade the land to ensure proper drainage, install any base materials, and amend the soil as needed for successful root growth and long-term health.
