Eight districts on the key plan
The plan below is a drawing, not a map. It keys eight Asheville districts to the slope, soil and water each one tends to bring, so an enquiry can say where the yard is before it describes the project.
Districts, keyed
- 01 Montford Older lots under mature trees, where shade planting and root-zone drip matter.
- 02 West Asheville Small front yards and sloping back lots that suit steps and terraced beds.
- 03 Kenilworth Steep hillside lots held by retaining walls, some due for rebuilding.
- 04 North Asheville Larger lots with long boundaries suited to native privacy screens.
- 05 Biltmore Village Compact formal yards, clipped edges and patios close to the house.
- 06 Oakley Level lots on heavy clay, where French drains and re-grading come first.
- 07 Haw Creek Creekside ground, soggy lawns and banks that hold best with native planting.
- 08 Arden Newer, open lots with wind exposure and full sun that call for zoned irrigation.
The districts on this plan are drawn for a demonstration site. They do not describe the coverage of a real firm, they are not derived from a mapping service, and no part of this page reads a visitor's location.
A project at an address outside the eight districts is discussed through the contact form rather than turned away. No arrival window, travel time or response time is published on this site, because a figure of that kind is a promise the drawing cannot keep.

Grades, soil and sun measured in your own yard, then a scaled plan and an itemised figure before a single stone is laid.
