Southern Myrtle Care was founded with one simple goal — to make proper crape myrtle care affordable, accessible, and done right. After seeing so many trees across North Carolina cut incorrectly, topped harshly, or left completely untouched, we knew something had to change.

Crape myrtles are more than just trees — they’re part of the Southern landscape and identity. Our mission is to preserve that beauty by providing expert trimming and restoration that enhances curb appeal while protecting the health of each tree for years to come.

We built this company to solve two problems we see every day:

1. Improper pruning that harms trees and ruins their natural shape.

2. Overpriced services that make proper care out of reach for many homeowners.

As a family-owned business founded by William and Christina Platt — a USMC Veteran and a Dedicated Nurse — Southern Myrtle Care is rooted in service, integrity, and community pride. We believe that giving back starts at home, and helping our neighbors’ landscapes thrive is our way of doing just that.

Using quiet, all-electric equipment, we provide clean, HOA-friendly service that brings out the best in every property — without the noise, fumes, or unnecessary cost.

Because at Southern Myrtle Care, we’re not just trimming trees — we’re preserving a Southern Legacy and helping our community look its best, one myrtle at a time..
