As the leaves - and temperatures - continue to fall, many of us start to settle into a new routine of semi-hibernation, welcoming the snow to blanket the world in white. Irrigation systems are winterized and garden hoses are wrapped for protection from the frigid weather. Just because we may be ready for winter by the time December arrive.

Elements such as walkways and retaining walls can serve a purpose and be a beautiful part of your landscape at the same time. Although retaining walls are often built as a solution to a problem, they can also serve as accents to your landscape. Taking all factors into consideration, such as drainage and soil conditions, we will help you chose the right material for the job. Whether natural stone or engineered block, we can create a design that compliments your home or business. Much more than just a surface to walk on, a selection of pattern and texture can add to the character of your outdoor space.

Two realities of winter in the Midwest are snow and ice. Although beautiful to look at, these winter elements can present a danger to home owners and business owners alike.

As a member of SIMA (Snow & Ice Management Association) we are educated on the latest knowledge in the snow removal industry.

Drainage problems plague many in the Rockford area and threaten to damage property or ruin an otherwise attractive landscape. These issues can cause problems such as water in basements, flooding in window wells, and unsightly, muddy spots in your yard. If left unchecked, these drainage issues can lead to costly and dangerous problems in your home or business. At the start of every landscape project we plan for proper drainage. It is closely connected with the landscape and is important to think of drainage before starting a project rather than after.
