Water gardens and water features add interest with sound, motion, water plantings and fish for an active element in your garden. Water is soothing and is attractive to wildlife.

It all starts with the call. Maybe you've seen our trucks in your neighborhood, talked to a friend, or searched the web to find out if we can assist you with your landscaping needs, but your first call or web inquiry is where our relationship begins. Once you take that first step, we will determine a time to get together to discuss your particular needs. You may be interested in landscape management, tree work, or a special project, and the purpose of our first conversation is to define the objectives of the work you are interested in.

These surfaces can be made of many different materials depending on the design requirements and style of the landscape. Concrete, asphalt, pavers, gravel, wood and composite decks and walkways, stone and tile are many of the materials utilized. Dry laid stone and masonary are options for pillars, fireplaces and outdoor kitchens. Check out Hardscapes under our Portfolio link. In this example pavers and wall block give definition to an outdoor living area in the back of the house. Krista and I would like to pass on to your crew that we really do enjoy our front yard.
