Landscape Design 

Our knowledgeable horticulturalist and landscape designer will work closely with you to create an environment that is economically, historically, and culturally sensitive, an environmental diversity that provides nourishment for the senses and the spirit, nourishment that originates in the increased awareness of the interdependence between human beings and their total environment. We strive to present all our landscapes with a balance that custom fits each site. For this reason, we offer “Budget Sensitive” gardens and/or a “Phased Design” approach so we can accommodate your current landscape allowance.

The Design Process: An initial visit will include meeting the property owner to understand the vision of the landscape, on-site measurements, site analysis, and documentation of the existing landscape. The designer will then prepare a detailed plan of the project using CAD software. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to present the proposed plan and cost estimate.

Landscape Construction

The creation and construction of both residential and commercial outdoor spaces that utilize softscapes (plants) and hardscapes (non-living elements such as walkway, patios, pergolas, and fountains) in a complementary manner is imperative to bringing fun and functionality to your landscape.

Whether your ideal landscape incorporates a patio, retaining wall, or complete outdoor kitchen and living area, our experts will provide professional, quality installation in a timely manner. 

The Construction Process:

1. 1. Our project manager will review the master plan with you and answer all questions.
   2. Our skilled work force will begin the excavation and installation process of the hardscapes.
   3. Once installation is complete, grading of the area and debris cleanup will occur.
   4. Irrigation, drainage, and lighting crews will begin wire connections and installation.
   5. Softscape materials (plants) will be planted and mulch spread according to the design.
   6. Light fixtures will be adjusted and all irrigation systems will be checked.
   7. A final walk through will occur to ensure the final landscape meets the customer’s expectations
