Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor spaces through detailed client consultations. We integrate beauty, functionality, and minimal maintenance by combining strategic plant selection with construction elements. Our designers consider traffic flow, entertainment needs, and seasonal color sequences to develop master plans that reflect individual preferences while ensuring practical usability.
Landscape Maintenance
Professional maintenance services include proper bed edging, plant fertilization, soil pH management, and specialty pruning. We service both small properties and large estates with seasonal cleanups, annual plantings, and specialty pruning techniques like Hindu-pan cloud shaping and topiary formation to maintain landscape health and aesthetic appeal.
Nursery Sales
Our 17-acre nursery offers over 3,500 plant varieties including 600 hosta cultivars, dwarf conifers, ornamental trees, and rare perennials. We provide both young plants and mature specimen trees up to 12 caliper, with expert advice available for shade gardening, water features, and seasonal color transitions.
Organic Soil Preparation
We implement organic soil preparation using composted horse manure, cottonseed meal, and soft phosphorous to optimize plant health. This process improves soil structure, nutrient content, and water retention while maintaining proper pH levels for different plant species' specific requirements.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Our construction expertise creates functional outdoor living areas with concrete pavers, natural stone retaining walls, flagstone patios, and seating walls. We incorporate fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and privacy screening elements to transform landscapes into usable entertainment spaces with durable, aesthetically pleasing materials.
