All of our gardens and installs come with a one year workmanship guarantee. What this means is that if something should fail due to workmanship within one year, we will repair or replace.
Your success is important to us, that’s why after every install we answer any questions you may have, as well as teach an easy gardening method to use. We also offer email support and send you our gardening guide “Growing Vegetables in Piedmont NC”
Our typical lead time for a custom built garden is 3-4 weeks but depends on the scope. We receive many requests for consultations/installs during March and April and urge everyone considering working with us to contact us sooner than the spring planting season.
There are no guarantees on coloring of products. Natural forestry and stone products naturally vary. We do our best to be consistent.
If needed, it is the homeowners responsibility to call 811 before the install to check for underground utility lines.
We will ALWAYS choose to use organic compost or organic soil blends and sourcing will be determined by your address.
Bull City Gardens LLC is not responsible for any soil issues from purchased bulk soil or bagged. If issues arise, please contact us so we can direct you to the supplier.
We are a family owned small business and enjoy creating gardens for our clients. However, this isn’t our primary employment. Currently, consultations are done during the week and installs are performed Friday through Sunday.
Consultations can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours
Our current operating radius is 30 minutes from zip code 27705. Distances farther than 30 minutes are taken on a case by case basis.

Spooky season is here!
But what’s happening in your garden?
October season depends on you. You should have planted your fall crop already. If you haven’t, I would wrap it up and power down your garden for the fall unless you want to try a winter season.
Clean up. If you’re done growing, give the garden a good cleanup. You can also consider planting a cover crop.
It’s time to thin your carrots if you planted fall carrots.
You can plant shallots in October and fall onions.
Garlic coming up in November.
It’s been a wet and humid fall so far so I’d bet you may have had some fungus and pest issues. You can use BT powder for brassicas, and neem oil for everything else.

This install had everything. Custom metal beds by @ar_ironworks_nc , cedar fencing, a custom moon gate and arbor, and the best customers to work with.
When you’re daydreaming of your new garden in spring, keep us in mind 🙂

Thinking about this cedar garden structure we built this past spring in Durham. It turned out beautiful! Keep us in mind when planning your new garden next spring!

It’s FALL TIME!!!!
Woohoo!
What’s on deck for gardening?
-get those cool season veggies in the ground pronto. Our fall season can be flaky. Will it stay warm longer? Will it cool off quickly? Will it flip flop in one day? Most likely
-If you plant brassicas, pickup BT powder. It will protect them from worms
-we know you neglected the garden. We did too. Get in there and weed on a cool morning.
-add some compost and fertilizer for the new plantings
-if you are skipping the fall season, considering purchasing a cover crop or cover crop blend to grow through the winter

BT powder!
If you’re growing brassicas this fall, just go ahead and grab some BT powder to protect your crops from insects.
Use this on broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and cabbages.

A little late, but this is what we should be focused on in August.
-you want to continue keeping up with heavy producers and working on preserving what you can.
-as plants putter out, don’t be afraid to pull them. The fall planting season is now. We will be planting this week
-I’m seeing fall crops pop up at independent retailers. They should be at big box soon.
-during the cool mornings, work on weeding.
-if you’re planting fall crops, add fertilizer and compost.

Yes, that’s me in a crazy wig. And yes, it’s been quiet .
July is a maintenance month in your garden and in the midst of that, we took a big trip and the kids started school again.
But we’re back with regularly programmed gardening content!
The whole family (17) took a trip to Scotland/Ireland to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday and it was a trip of a lifetime.
We also spent three days with @andythehighlander And that was an amazing experience all on its own.
Give him a follow!
