Our Services
Landscape Design
Since we have 30+ years of experience in the landscape industry, we can work with you to develop a plan that will provide your family or company with a unique landscape environment that will be enjoyed for many years to come. In addition to providing you with a design that will compliment your lifestyle, we can help you protect your environment by choosing plant materials best suited to your specific area.
Landscape Installation
Our projects vary in scope from renovations of existing landscapes to complete installations for new homes or commercial buildings. Since our design process is client focused, we draw from their ideas plus ours to create a professionally installed landscape.
Installing the finest nursery stock is at the heart of any beautiful landscape. We have developed relationships with many nurseries that provide us the variety of native and other plants to complement our unique landscapes.
Irrigation
Our irrigation designs are focused on low maintenance and proper watering for the entire landscaped area. The convenience of an irrigation system adds value to the landscape project by assuring proper watering of the essential plant elements while extending and preserving the life and beauty of the overall design. Most irrigation systems utilize spray and rotor heads as well as drip lines to conserve water.
Landscape Illumination (Lighting)
Landscape environmental lighting has become very popular with many of our clients because it not only adds beauty to the landscape, but enhances the safety and security of their homes.
Appropriately placed and directed lighting can inspire an entirely different aura in the outdoor areas at night. The quality of being theatrical as well as aesthetic can present a perception of the area that most likely will be overlooked during daylight.
Outdoor lighting will allow you to enjoy the landscape investment for activities such as outdoor dining on the patio, relaxing near the pool or waterfall, and nighttime outdoor entertainment.
Our nighttime landscape designs for a home or business incorporate the use of low voltage path lights, area lights, back lights, up lights, down lights, or submersible pond lights controlled by energy efficient timers.
Decks
We design and construct decks that compliment the architecture of the home and accentuate the landscape providing functional outdoor entertainment area.
Fountains
Fountains of distinction can provide a sense of motion and tranquility to your landscape environment. We specialize in fountain design and construction that will add beauty interest and value to your outdoor space.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping (Landscape construction) refers to that portion of landscape installation that is NOT planting. It defines outdoor space much in the same way as planting beautifies outdoor space. It allows the landscape to bring continuity and flow in harmony with the architecture of the building. Hardscaping includes walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and patios.
Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor entertaining has become an essential element for many people who want to take advantage of temperate climatic elements and provide a spacious, relaxing environment for entertaining family, friends and clients. Our outdoor kitchens are designed for beauty, functionality and endurance. Our expert installations utilize the finest products to make the outdoor dining experience a pleasure.
Stonework/Retaining Walls
Boulders and other types of natural stonework provide integrate beauty and utility to any landscape. Properly positioned and set stonework can make a significant difference in the appearance of your landscape environment. Whether it might be a winding stairway, durable wall, and stepping stone pathway or perhaps just well placed accent boulders, natural stone adds beauty to any landscape area and provides years of maintenance free pleasure. Our experts can use these hardscape elements to create a natural and unique look for your site environment.
Water Features
Water features can include such elements as swimming pools, fountains, waterfalls, and ponds. We have the capability of designing unique pools that will complement your lifestyle: lap pools or exotic lagoons. Uniqueness at a modest price is our objective.
Xeriscape
Xeriscapes are landscapes (designs which integrate quality landscaping) that conserve water and protect the natural environment.
Definition: Xeriscape landscaping, by definition, is landscaping designed specifically for areas that are susceptible to drought or for properties where water conservation is practiced. Derived from the Greek xeros meaning “dry,” the term, Xeriscape means literally “dry landscape.”
Note that “Xeriscape” is pronounced as if it began with the letter, Z. This sometimes leads to the misspelling, “zeroscape.” But xeriscape landscaping techniques needn’t result in a “big zero” for landscape design aesthetics. In fact, as most people employ the term, xeriscape landscaping needn’t be limited to desert plants, such as cacti. Rather, a xeriscape landscaping policy allows you to use the plants you want, but insists on common-sense measures that will help conserve water, such as grouping plants with similar water requirements together.* (Taken from: Xeriscape Landscaping by David Beaulieu, About.com)
These are not just cactus and rock gardens. They also can be cool, green landscapes full of beautiful plants allowing efficient use of water resources. These Texas-style landscapes incorporate the basic principles of proper planning and design, soil analysis and improvement, appropriate plant selection, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, use of mulches, and appropriate maintenance.
