About
Raleigh-born. Hand-built. Honest about the work.
Whittaker Worx is owner-operator Chad Whittaker and a small team of horticulturists, masons, and carpenters who would rather build one yard people remember than ten that nobody does.
Chad Whittaker
The owner is on the site.
Chad is a Raleigh native who founded Whittaker Worx in May of 2009 after years of doing the work for someone else. He designs every project, walks every site, and is the person homeowners call when they want to know why a paver moved or a plant didn't take. That accountability — built into how the company is structured — is the most valuable thing we sell.
His specialty is what most landscape companies treat as separate trades: design, hardscape, masonry, lighting, and horticulture. Knowing how all of them fit together is what makes the finished yard feel like one place, not five.
The Team
In-house, on every job.
A team that has worked together long enough to read a site without speaking. That's why our finishes are consistent and our schedules don't slip.
Horticulture
Plant selection, installation, and aftercare led by team members with formal horticultural backgrounds and a decade of Wake County growing experience.
Masonry
Stone, brick, and segmental walls set by craftspeople who do nothing else. Dry-stack stone is its own discipline; we treat it like one.
Carpentry
Pergolas, arbors, fences, and screening built on-site by carpenters who've worked alongside Chad on hundreds of projects.
Site work
Grading, drainage, and excavation handled with our own machinery — so the project starts on time and we don't depend on someone else's schedule.
Licensure & Insurance
A North Carolina Licensed Landscape Contractor.
We carry the licensure required to design and build landscape projects in the state of North Carolina, and we carry insurance for every Hardscape and Landscaping project we build. For larger construction projects that require special licenses or certifications, we work with trusted members of the construction community we've used for years.
If you ever want to verify our standing, we'll send you the documentation in the same email as your proposal.
