How we rank landscapers in Wilmington

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the landscapers category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Local conditions

Hiring landscapers in Wilmington: what the local data says

  • 21% of the homes in Wilmington were built in 2010 or later. Newer lots often start with graded fill and little established planting, so soil prep is usually part of the job.
  • 48% of occupied homes in Wilmington are owner-occupied, and 52% of homes are single-family detached houses.
  • The typical last spring frost in Wilmington is around March 7 and the first fall frost around December 2, roughly 270 frost-free days. That window is the planting season for most lawns and beds, and spring slots with good crews fill early.
  • Wilmington gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year, and September is typically the wettest month. Drainage and grading problems show up in the wettest month, which is the best time to see where water sits.

Common questions

Landscapers in Wilmington: quick answers

How are the landscapers in Wilmington ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the landscapers category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best landscaper in Wilmington?

We list one landscaper so far, so read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get a written estimate before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a landscaper's license in North Carolina?

Licensing in North Carolina runs through the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, with electricians, plumbers and HVAC licensed by their own state boards. Before hiring anyone in Wilmington, ask for the license number and verify it in the board's public lookup (nclbgc.org for general contractors; the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors or the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors for those trades). Jobs under $40,000 do not require a general contractor license, so ask about insurance either way. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which landscapers serve Wilmington?

This page lists Southern Accents Landscaping, in ranked order. It publishes a phone number, so you can call directly.

When is the best time to book landscapers in Wilmington?

Going by Wilmington's own weather records (typical last spring frost around March 7, first fall frost around December 2), the usual windows are from about March 7 into early summer or before September, usually the wettest month in Wilmington. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a landscaper in Wilmington

  • Check which North Carolina license applies. North Carolina licenses some of this work through the North Carolina Landscape Contractors' Licensing Board, which issues the North Carolina landscape contractor license. Verify it at the official North Carolina license lookup before signing. Mowing and lawn care need no landscape license, and installation needs one only when a job site's contracts total $30,000 or more in 12 months; anyone spraying weed or insect control must hold a pesticide applicator license in Category L.
  • Written estimates. Any landscaper who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A landscaper who's done work in Cape Harbor Apartments or Lansdowne Estates will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
