Where landscaping in Mount Holly starts

Mount Holly takes its name from the Mount Holly Cotton Mill of 1875, the oldest surviving mill in Gaston County, and was incorporated in 1879.

That is the backdrop for a design: plant choices, bed edges and drainage all start from the lot, not from a catalog.

The best months to put plants in the ground here are fall and early spring. We write the species, sizes and mulch into the estimate so you can compare it line by line.

Age, ownership and size of Mount Holly homes

In Mount Holly, the Census reports 75% detached houses and 69% owner-occupied homes, with 2.49 people per household. Landscapes from that period are two or three decades old, so builder shrubs have outgrown their beds.

Looking at ZIP areas, the share of owner-occupied homes is 28120 (75%) and 28012 (70%).

What happens to the cuttings in Mount Holly

Local limits on limbs and brush vary, so we look up Mount Holly's current rules and write the haul-off into the estimate.
