Why Choose Forest
The Cape Fear Coast Standard for Outdoor Living
We’re not the only outdoor contractor in Wilmington. But we’re the one your neighbors call — and call again.
One Team. Every Phase.
No subcontractors, no middlemen. Our in-house crew handles design, permits, construction, and cleanup — you deal with one point of contact from first call to final walkthrough.
Built for Coastal Carolina
Salt air, sandy soil, hurricane season — we know this environment cold. Every material we specify and every method we use is designed specifically for the Cape Fear Coast climate.
Transparent Pricing. Always.
You get a detailed estimate before we ever break ground. No change orders, no surprise invoices. The price we quote is the price you pay — that’s a promise, not a policy.
We Live Here Too.
Forest Outdoor Living isn’t a franchise or an out-of-town crew. We’re neighbors — we build in the same communities where we live, raise our families, and fish the same waters.
Fully Licensed & Insured
NC licensed contractor with full general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Certificates available on request — because protecting your property and our crew is not optional.
2D/3D Design Included
You see the finished project before we ever break ground. Our design team creates detailed 2D and 3D renderings so you can visualize and approve every detail in advance.

★★★★★“Forest Outdoor Living did an amazing job on our property. If you're looking for a reliable landscaping company in Wilmington, NC, I highly recommend them. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The work was completed on schedule, the pricing was fair, and the quality was outstanding.”
★★★★★“We had an eco sensitive bridge need. Yassir came to review the job and within a day we had the estimate and info to provide our POA. Forest arrived promptly and completed a beautiful 34 ft bridge to join our property. The workmanship was complimented by our POA engineer and those who have seen it.”
★★★★★“Professional, courteous and efficient! We had a 60ft+ tree removed from a very confined and almost inaccessible area. The field crew was awesome. The tree was removed, no damages were incurred and all employees safely completed the task.”
★★★★★“The team was professional, reliable, and very easy to work with from start to finish. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. Everything was done on time, and the communication throughout the project was excellent.”
★★★★★“Juan, Jose, and Angel did a wonderful job with my landscaping! We added edging, sod, steppingstones and mulch, for our future planting bed and it came out exactly as expected. Plus, they did it so quickly. Highly recommend for all of their services.”
