Effortless Beauty,
Season After Season

A good landscape should feel like it belongs there. It should fit the house, the property, and the way you want to use the space. We design and install landscapes that are thoughtful, lasting, and built around strong planting, natural materials, and the kind of details that only get better as they settle in.

“After doing a total home re-do, we've
had a ton of experiences with different contractors and services, and One Thousand Hands Horticulture has by far been the absolute best.”

From Privacy To Protection, We Cover It All

Most properties have a few things that are just not working yet. Sometimes it is standing water. Sometimes the yard feels too open. Sometimes the planting around the house is dated or no longer fits the property. In Greenville, we help solve those problems with well-planned drainage, natural privacy screening, walkways and stonework that give the space shape, and planting plans that make the whole property feel more finished.

Our Greenville, DE clients love working with us

Mike and his team have been great to work with on multiple projects. He's helped us envision long term plans in our yard and implement some short term items that make it more pleasant in the meantime. They know their plants and materials and make great recommendations. Quality people, quality work, very fair pricing. I'll continue to used them in the future

They are excellent communicators which is my favorite part but the quality and service is also top notch. We already have our next project in the pipe for them!!

Every Aspect of Your Landscape Handled

Landscape Design & Installation in Greenville, DE

Every property has its own rhythm, and the best landscapes respond to that. We design and install planting, stonework, and layout improvements that make the whole property feel more cohesive — whether that means updating the front of the house or reworking the landscape more broadly.

Stormwater Management & Drainage Solutions in Greenville, DE

On many Greenville properties, drainage is part of the conversation from the start. Grade changes, runoff, and low spots can all affect how the landscape performs. We install drainage systems like French drains, catch basins, grading improvements, and downspout extensions to move water where it belongs.

Privacy Trees & Screening in Greenville, DE

A little more privacy can completely change how a yard feels. Whether you need separation from the street, neighboring properties, or a specific outdoor area, we install privacy trees and layered plantings that give the property more enclosure without making it feel closed off.

Garden & Landscape Care in Greenville, DE

A great landscape needs the right care to keep looking the way it should. From pruning and planting to seasonal cleanups and bed maintenance, our crew keeps your landscape healthy, balanced, and looking its best throughout the year.

Landscape Lighting

Lighting helps a landscape feel finished. It improves visibility along walkways and entrances, highlights architectural and planting features, and makes the property more inviting after dark. The goal is not to overlight the space — it is to make it feel warm, subtle, and well considered.

Lasting Beauty Starts Here.

Whether you are reworking the whole property or trying to solve one important issue, we can help you make the landscape feel more settled, more usable, and more complete. We bring horticultural expertise to every part of the process, from installation through long-term care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take on only full landscape projects in Greenville, or smaller upgrades too?

Both. Some clients bring us in for a full redesign, and some just want to solve one problem well — drainage, privacy, lighting, or planting around the house. Either way, we like helping people make smart improvements that fit the property and make sense long term.

Can you create privacy without making the yard feel closed in?

Yes. We use layered plantings, screening trees, and natural design principles to create privacy that still feels open and attractive.

Do you install landscape lighting as part of a larger project, or can it be done on its own?

Both. Sometimes lighting is part of a larger landscape install, and sometimes it is a stand-alone improvement. Done well, it makes the property feel safer, more polished, and more enjoyable after dark.

What kind of landscape style do you usually recommend?

We usually lean toward landscapes that feel natural, timeless, and easy to live with. Good structure, strong plant choices, natural materials, and a layout that still feels right a few years from now. The goal is to make the property feel settled, not overworked.

Can you help us plan the work in phases if we are not ready to do everything at once?

Yes. That is a pretty common way to approach it. We can help you think through the property as a whole, then break the work into phases so you handle the biggest needs first and still end up with something cohesive.

Do you handle drainage problems on sloped Wilmington properties?

Yes. We design and install drainage solutions that help move water away from foundations, patios, planting beds, and lawn areas.
