Frequently asked questions
Where does NextGen Landscaping work?
We serve Southport, NC and the surrounding Brunswick County communities, for both homes and commercial properties.
How much does mulch installation cost?
Mulch is $100 per yard and pine straw is $13 per bale, and both prices include delivery and installation. If you would rather spread it yourself, we also offer delivery only. See our mulch installation page to estimate how much you need.
What is included in a monthly lawn care plan?
Every plan includes mowing on your schedule (monthly, every 2 weeks or weekly), weed-eating, edging and blowing. Silver adds your choice of spraying or trimming once a month, and Gold includes both. Prices start at $120 a month for Bronze, $150 for Silver and $200 for Gold. See our lawn care plans page for every price.
Do you remove junk as well as yard debris?
Yes. Junk removal is its own service, separate from our lawn plans. We haul yard debris, brush and household junk, and give you a price before we start. See our yard cleanup and junk removal page for what we can and cannot take.
