Salt, sand and a high water table are the three reasons a lawn care service in Wilmington, NC, cannot run the program that works two hundred miles inland. The adjustments made for coastal conditions account for most of the difference between turf that holds through August and turf that thins out by July.

Element Outdoor Living started in 2013 as a small design build practice and now runs as a full service outdoor living firm with more than fifty professionals, working on properties across Wilmington and the surrounding coastal communities. 

When homeowners search for lawn maintenance services in Wilmington, NC, weekly mowing is usually the first image that comes to mind. Mowing is the most visible part of the service, but it's also the smallest piece of what actually keeps a lawn healthy through North Carolina's coastal climate.

Humid summers, sandy soil, and the seasonal transitions between warm-season and cool-season grass all shape what a lawn actually requires.
