Complete Landscape Makeovers
Transform your outdoor space with our comprehensive landscape makeovers. We handle everything from old landscaping removal and grading to new plantings, hardscaping, and irrigation systems. Our team creates cohesive designs that enhance property value while addressing drainage issues and improving usability. Each project includes topsoil spreading, mulch installation, and custom features like fire pits or outdoor kitchens.
Retaining Wall Installation
Prevent erosion and create functional outdoor spaces with our expert retaining wall installations. We build durable walls using interlocking blocks, natural stone, or timber materials. Our process includes proper drainage solutions, soil stabilization, and code-compliant construction techniques. Walls can be designed for terracing slopes, basement waterproofing, or decorative garden features.
Paver Patio Installation
Create lasting outdoor living spaces with our premium patio installations. We work with natural stone, brick pavers, and concrete materials to create durable, low-maintenance patios. Our process includes proper grading, gravel base preparation, and sand-set installation for stability. Custom designs incorporate seating areas, fire pits, and integrated landscaping features.
Custom Aluminum Staircases
Durable aluminum staircases designed for shoreline access and challenging terrain. Our custom-built systems feature slip-resistant treads, corrosion-resistant materials, and minimal maintenance requirements. Staircases are engineered for stability without concrete footings, with adjustable pitch options to match natural slopes and property requirements.
Commercial Landscaping
Enhance commercial properties with professional landscaping solutions that improve curb appeal and functionality. Services include hardscaping, plant installations, irrigation systems, and ongoing maintenance programs. We specialize in creating welcoming environments for office complexes, retail centers, and hospitality properties while ensuring ADA compliance and practical visitor flow.
