Trusted Local Landscaper In Matthews
Matthews homeowners expect their outdoor spaces to match the quality of their homes. JH Landscapes serves Matthews from our base in Waxhaw, NC, and we know the red clay soil, the drainage challenges, and the outdoor living upgrades that work in Mecklenburg County.
The Problem We Solve Here Every Day
If your yard came with builder-grade sod, a few shrubs, and nothing else, you are not alone. Most newer homes in Matthews get the same minimal treatment. Add red clay soil that sheds water instead of absorbing it, and you have a yard that looks rough by year two.
We serve Matthews from our base in Waxhaw, NC, with owner oversight guiding every project from the first walkthrough to final cleanup. From established neighborhoods to newer builds, we handle it with one team.

Landscaping Problems We See In Matthews
We work yards across Mecklenburg County regularly. The same problems show up again and again in Matthews.
Red Clay Soil
Cecil and Pacolet series soils run through Matthews. Low spots hold heavy red clay that compacts hard, sheds water, and makes patio and wall excavation more involved than it looks. Poor drainage after heavy rain is almost always a soil issue, not just grading.
Builder-Grade Yards
Newer subdivisions here got thin sod, a few shrubs, and no defined outdoor living space. We break up compacted subsoil, amend the top layer, correct grade, and install properly rooted sod so the yard looks right by year two.
Hardscape Mildew And Shifting
Zone 8a heat and humidity build algae and mildew on driveways and patios fast, and clay movement shifts pavers when base prep is skipped. Our patio and walkway work includes proper base compaction so surfaces stay level.
Conditions That Shape Every Matthews Project
Every yard in Matthews has the same four factors working on it: climate zone, terrain, rainfall, and clay soil.
Landscaping For Matthews Homes, Old And New
Matthews sits on the southeast edge of Mecklenburg County with a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. Mature yards need refresh work; newer builds need full landscape design from scratch.
Projects here span everything from small paver patios and fire pits to full outdoor living builds with pergolas and outdoor kitchens. Older Matthews properties often need drainage corrections around the foundation.
We serve Matthews from Waxhaw, a short drive down Hwy 84, and regularly work the adjacent Stallings, Indian Trail, and Weddington markets.
