White Crest Manor

This timeless landscape surrounds a beautifully designed home nestled inside the Beltline in Raleigh, North Carolina. Completed in 2020, the project blends classic Southern charm with thoughtful plant selection and careful use of space to create a serene, year-round retreat for the homeowners.

One of the most striking features of this landscape is how vertical space is used to soften and enhance the architecture. Creeping fig climbs the white painted brick, creating a lush, green contrast that adds texture and visual interest throughout the seasons. Around the pool and outdoor living areas, this vertical greenery provides privacy, elegance, and a sense of enclosure without feeling heavy.

Hydrangeas bring bursts of color in the summer, their large blooms standing out against a background of layered plantings. As the seasons change, the garden transitions beautifully. Deciduous trees offer fall color and structure, while a strong evergreen backbone ensures the landscape remains full and vibrant throughout winter.

Our team installed all plant material on this property and has proudly maintained it ever since. Through thoughtful pruning, seasonal care, and horticultural stewardship, we ensure this landscape continues to thrive and evolve gracefully over time. It’s a space designed not just for beauty, but for daily enjoyment—a private, peaceful retreat right in the heart of Raleigh.
