Where Design Meets Horticultural Expertise
Since 2005, VanWyck LanDesign has been designing and installing planting beds and landscapes for homeowners across Asheville, Hendersonville, and Western North Carolina, led by owner Dave VanWyck’s Horticulture and Landscape Design degree from Michigan State University, his standing as a Certified Nurseryman, and 32 years of field experience. Every plant we recommend is chosen for how it will actually perform at Blue Ridge Mountain elevations, and every bed is laid out with real design principles behind it — composition, layering, seasonal color, and mature form — so the landscape looks intentional in its first season and only gets better from there. Every landscape installation is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty.
Landscape Design
A landscape is more than the plants in the ground — it’s a design. We select plant material suited to Blue Ridge Mountain elevations, soil, and seasonal swings, and lay it out with the same attention to composition, layering, color, and texture that any professionally designed landscape requires. That can mean structured, symmetrical foundation plantings around a traditional home, naturalistic drifts of native and adapted species chosen to thrive with less upkeep once established, or a planting plan built specifically to frame and soften a new patio, retaining wall, or water feature. Every plant is selected with its mature size and seasonal interest in mind, so the design holds together as it fills in over the following years rather than needing to be reworked. Every landscape installation we complete is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty. Request a free estimate and let us design a landscape suited to your property and your lifestyle.
Three Ways We Design Your Landscape
Formal Plantings
A formal landscape design uses structure and symmetry — matched foundation plantings, clean bed lines, and a classic plant palette — to complement a traditional home’s architecture. We select and place each plant with the finished, mature form in mind, so the design still reads as intentional years down the road.
Low-Maintenance Landscapes
A low-maintenance landscape isn’t an empty yard — it’s a design built around native and adapted plant species chosen for how little intervention they need once established. We use this approach for clients who want a beautiful, full landscape without a demanding upkeep schedule behind it.
Plantings That Complete Your Hardscape
New hardscape looks unfinished without the right plantings around it. We design foundation beds, framing plantings, and softening greenery specifically to work with a new patio, retaining wall, or water feature, so the hardscape and the landscape read as one cohesive design instead of two separate projects.
