We are a family owned, residential design/build landscaping firm that has been serving the triangle since 1981.
"Our backyard had a large uphill slope, rendering most of it unusable. Additionally, there were drainage problems and a lack of privacy. All of these prevented us from enjoying our yard. Gardens of the Carolinas was the most responsive when we initiated initial inquiries, which continued throughout our project. John and his team were fantastic to work with for our backyard project. The team listened to our concerns and provided an extensive long-term vision for rectifying them and making them an area we’d enjoy moving forward. Based on our immediate needs, we decided to take a phased approach by adding a timber retention wall, a stone wall with lighting, and privacy trees. They also tapped into our existing drainage solution and made it more efficient. I view this as providing us with a canvas for future projects. We are very pleased with their work and will be a repeat customer for future phases of their initial plan. To summarize our experience with Gardens of the Carolinas: Patience: We made multiple edits to find a solution within budget. John and the team always understood and respected our concerns, ensuring we were comfortable with the decisions. Thoroughness: I was provided multiple options and pros/cons for every question. This reiterated their experience and gave me confidence that we were making a sound investment. Seamless: their team handled everything for us, including permitting, assistance with HOA, and more, in addition to the work completed. Professionalism: The crew performing the work respected concerns around noise and ensured a clean and tidy work environment. When the project was completed, they ensured the streets, sidewalks, and backyard were all in a great place, demonstrating their unwavering dedication to customer service."

To calculate a preliminary budget, measure your intended driveway area in square feet and multiply by the per-square-foot rate of $18 to $50. Remember to include additional expenses for site preparation, base materials, and labor costs, which vary by location and property conditions.
For most residential projects, the total falls between $8,600 and $24,800. To receive the most accurate estimate, request detailed quotes from at least three reputable contractors and compare their scope of work.
Cobblestone significantly outlasts asphalt in terms of longevity. While asphalt requires replacement every 15 to 20 years, properly installed cobblestone driveways can remain functional for many decades with appropriate maintenance. The individual stone structure allows for simple replacement of damaged sections rather than complete resurfacing. Though the initial installation cost exceeds that of asphalt, the extended lifespan and reduced long-term maintenance requirements often provide better value over time.
A well-designed cobblestone driveway enhances property value through improved curb appeal and perceived quality. Prospective buyers often recognize the premium nature and durability of cobblestone installations. While the upfront investment is substantial, the distinctive appearance and exceptional longevity frequently justify the expense for value-conscious homeowners.
When coordinated with complementary landscaping and exterior elements, a cobblestone driveway can become a standout feature that distinguishes your property in a competitive real estate market.
Cobblestone performs exceptionally well in fluctuating temperatures due to its segmented installation method. Unlike solid concrete or asphalt surfaces that develop continuous cracks during freeze-thaw cycles, individual cobblestones can accommodate slight movement without structural failure.
This resilience depends on proper installation with adequate drainage and appropriate base materials. A professionally installed cobblestone driveway with the correct foundation layers will minimize frost heaving and maintain structural integrity through seasonal temperature variations.
