Services for Homes in Ballantyne

Every yard is scoped after a walk through the property. For homeowners in Ballantyne, the work falls into these groups:

  • Hardscape

    Paver and natural stone patios, driveways, walkways and retaining walls, plus paver repair where an existing surface has settled.

  • Drainage and Grading

    Standing water near the foundation, soggy lawn areas and runoff crossing a patio are handled through grading and drainage work, often within the same project as the hardscape.

  • Irrigation Repair

    For yards with an existing sprinkler system, we repair heads, valves and lines and prepare systems for winter. We do not install new irrigation systems.

  • Landscaping

    Garden beds, mulch, sod and plants chosen for Charlotte’s summers and for the light and soil of the specific yard.

  • Artificial Turf

    Artificial turf for pet areas, play spaces and shaded sections where grass keeps failing, installed over a prepared, compacted base.

  • Landscape Lighting

    Low-voltage lighting along paths, steps, patios and retaining walls, as part of a larger project or on its own.

Why Base Preparation and Drainage Matter

Charlotte’s red clay holds water and moves as it wets and dries. That is why what sits under a patio or walkway decides how long it stays flat. Every paved surface we build starts with a compacted gravel base sized for its use and a slight grade that moves water away from the house. Where water is already a problem, it is corrected first — a surface built over wet ground moves with the ground.

Planning a Project in Ballantyne

Many Ballantyne properties combine established landscaping with patios, slopes, and multiple outdoor areas that need to work together. A project may begin with a paver repair or drainage issue and grow into a more complete plan for a patio, planting beds, lighting, or a reworked backyard layout.
We start with a site visit to understand grade, water movement, access, and existing conditions before scoping the work. Our base is on Providence Farm Ln in the 28277 zip code, so Ballantyne is a short drive for a site visit.

About Us

The company is led by Vladimir. He studied civil engineering at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, finished in 2012, and spent the next years in construction before he and his wife opened the original firm in 2015. That background is why a site visit in Ballantyne starts with grade and water, not with a paver catalogue. Hortus-Flora LLC now works in Charlotte as a small crew. The same people handle planting and floral touches, and a trusted plumbing partner covers anything backflow-related.

Frequently Asked Questions

— Do you serve homeowners in Ballantyne?
— Yes. We are based in south Charlotte, in the 28277 zip code, and serve homeowners in Ballantyne and the surrounding area.
— Can a small repair turn into a larger project later?
— Yes. Many projects start with one issue — a sunken paver section or a wet corner of the yard. We scope that work on its own and can plan further phases if you want them.
— My sprinkler heads don't cover the lawn anymore. Can you fix that?
— Yes. We repair and adjust existing systems, including heads, valves and lines. Putting in a brand-new system is the one irrigation job we do not take on.
— Can you fix a wet spot in the yard as part of a patio project?
— Yes. Grading and drainage are planned into the same project, so the water problem is solved before the patio or planting goes in over it.
— Is landscape lighting available as its own project?
— Yes. Lighting is easiest to add while a patio or wall is being built, but it can also be installed in a finished yard as a separate project.
— How does a project start?
— With a conversation and a site visit. We walk the yard, look at grade, water and access, and then prepare an estimate before anything is scheduled.
— Do you install paver patios in Ballantyne?
— Yes. Hortus-Flora installs paver patios in Ballantyne and across South Charlotte. Most patios take about a week to build, and every project starts with a site visit and a written estimate.
— Do you take on landscaping projects in Ballantyne?
— Yes. Hortus-Flora works in Ballantyne and the rest of South Charlotte. We handle planting, garden beds, sod, and mulch, as well as patios, retaining walls, and drainage. We don't offer regular lawn mowing or fertilization.
