Everything Your Landscape Needs
From the initial sketch to the final mulch, our team handles every phase of your landscape project.
Landscape Design
Every great outdoor space starts with a thoughtful plan. Our design process begins with an on-site consultation where we evaluate your property's sunlight, drainage, soil, existing vegetation, and architecture. We then develop a scaled plan showing hardscape layout, planting zones, material selections, and lighting. You receive 3D renderings and a detailed plant schedule so you can visualize the result before a single shovel breaks ground.
- On-site property evaluation and site analysis
- Scaled landscape plan with hardscape and planting zones
- 3D renderings and visualizations
- Plant selection suited to local climate and soil
- Irrigation and drainage planning
- Lighting design integration
Outdoor Living Spaces
The line between indoors and out has never been more important. We design and build outdoor living spaces that function as natural extensions of your home—whether that means a flagstone patio with a built-in fire pit for evening gatherings, a full outdoor kitchen for summer entertaining, or a quiet pergola-shaded reading nook. Every element is built to handle our freeze-thaw cycles and look great doing it.
- Custom patio design and installation
- Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces
- Outdoor kitchen construction
- Pergolas, gazebos, and shade structures
- Built-in seating and retaining walls
- Landscape lighting integration
Hardscaping
Hardscaping is the backbone of a well-built landscape. Our team has deep experience with segmental retaining walls, natural stone work, paver walkways, and poured concrete features. We pay close attention to proper base preparation, drainage, and frost-depth considerations—the details that separate a hardscape that looks good for a season from one that looks good for decades.
- Segmental retaining walls (all major manufacturers)
- Natural stone walls and boulder placement
- Paver and flagstone walkways and patios
- Steps, landings, and grade transitions
- Permeable paver systems for drainage
- Concrete curbing and edging
Lawn Installation
A healthy lawn starts below the surface. We begin every lawn installation with soil testing and amendment, followed by proper grading for drainage. Whether you choose sod for an instant lawn or premium seed for a more economical start, we prepare the site correctly and provide a detailed establishment watering and care schedule. We also offer lawn renovation for existing lawns that need more than routine maintenance.
- Soil testing and amendment
- Final grading and drainage preparation
- Sod installation (Kentucky bluegrass and fescue blends)
- Premium seeding with erosion control
- Lawn renovation and overseeding
- Establishment care instructions
Planting & Garden Beds
Planting is where a landscape comes to life. We design layered beds with year-round interest: spring bulbs giving way to summer perennials, fall color from shrubs and ornamental grasses, and winter structure from evergreens and branching. We source healthy nursery stock from trusted local growers and plant at the correct depth and spacing for long-term health—not just instant curb appeal.
- Tree and shrub selection and planting
- Perennial and ornamental grass beds
- Foundation planting design
- Mulch and soil amendment
- Seasonal color rotation (annuals)
- Transplanting and bed renovation
Seasonal Cleanup & Mulching
Seasonal transitions are critical for landscape health. Our spring cleanup removes winter debris, cuts back perennials, and applies fresh mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Fall cleanup clears leaves, protects sensitive plants, and prepares the landscape for winter. We use high-quality shredded hardwood mulch applied at the correct depth—not the cheap dyed stuff that fades in weeks.
- Spring cleanup: debris removal, perennial cutback, edging
- Fall cleanup: leaf removal, plant protection, final mow
- Premium shredded hardwood mulch application
- Bed edging and redefinition
- Pruning of shrubs and small trees
- Compost and soil amendment top-dressing
Drainage Solutions
Poor drainage can undermine even the most beautiful landscape—and damage your home's foundation. We diagnose drainage problems at the source and design solutions that move water where it needs to go. From French drains and catch basins to subtle regrading and dry creek beds that double as landscape features, we solve water problems in ways that look intentional.
- Site drainage assessment and diagnosis
- French drain and catch basin installation
- Dry creek bed design and construction
- Regrading and swale creation
- Downspout and sump-pump discharge solutions
- Permeable hardscape integration
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting transforms how you experience your property after dark—and it's one of the highest-ROI investments you can make in your outdoor space. We design layered lighting schemes with path lights for safety, uplights for trees and architectural features, and subtle wash lighting for walls and planting beds. All our systems use high-quality brass or copper fixtures with warm-white LED lamps.
- Custom lighting design and layout
- Path and area lighting for safety
- Uplighting for trees and architecture
- Wall wash and grazing for texture
- High-quality brass/copper fixtures
- Transformer and wiring installation
