Our services
Patios
We create permeable hardscapes that compliment the home and invite you to enjoy outdoor spaces all year round. You can choose from a variety of materials and styles such as flagstone, pavers, cut natural stone, or chipped stone.
Invasive Plant Management and Cleanup
We can help you tame a wild jungle back into an orderly oasis. During your consultation, we will identify planted, invasive, and native plants to develop a management strategy.
Drainage Solutions
Our drainage solutions seek to capture water when possible, and channel it when necessary to reduce erosion. This creates well-draining landscapes, with less mosquitos and happier plants.
Stone Retaining Walls
Retaining walls help create more flat usable space in the landscape. These can be natural stone boulders, concrete blocks, or wooden timbers.
Dry Creeks
We slow water down by using river stones and native plants, allowing it to infiltrate. Dry creeks also provide a natural edge to a garden bed or open space.
Raised Veggie Beds
We custom build raised beds, irrigation systems, and deer fencing for the next generation of urban farmers.
Paths
Establishing infrastructure is key for getting the most out of your space. Mulch, gravel, or flagstone paths make getting around easier and prevent erosion in high traffic areas.
Rain Gardens
These earthen soaking pits can absorb your excess rain water into the water table naturally, preventing erosion and providing a unique habitat.
Native Plants
We encourage the planting of natives in the landscape to re-establish habitat and connect us back to this place. Pollinators are an incredibly important part of our local eco systems.
Arbors
We custom build arbors for your outdoor space to provide shade, plant trellising, and an element of fantasy.
Compost
We help you manage resources like yard wastes and kitchen scraps to create healthy soil, naturally. You’ll be able to make your own black gold.
