Annual flowers and Container gardens
Flowers and container gardening provide instant color and texture to the landscape. For many of our clients, the primary appeal of their property is in the statement made by a striking color presentation. It provides instant curb appeal and reaches out to the aesthetic sense in people and shows that you care! Be it a commercial site or a private residence, the impact is the same.

Retaining walls and rockeries

Stampcrete, regular brushed concrete, Pedestal pavers, regular concrete pavers, flagstone and other aggregate are many surfacing options available today. Our Site- specific analysis takes into account drainage, run-off, landscape and structure protection before we start any projects.
Our certified staff stays current with evolving technologies so we can present the options that will best fit these criteria. Then we bring the project to completion by professionally installing it to the highest industry standard.
Drainage
Our rainy climate, combined with poor surface grades and diminishing forested areas, often results in problems with drainage and erosion. There is standing water in playgrounds, on sidewalks, under building foundations and landscape areas, yet installation of a good drainage system is still overlooked. Drainage is a vital factor for a functional and healthy landscape.
Since most drainage is underground, poor or faulty installation is not readily noticed until costly leaks and secondary symptoms such as mold and fungi are found. It is a silent destroyer of landscapes and structures, contributes to health problems from mold and creates hazards due to structural problems.
Our experience and hands-on training have provided us with comprehensive knowledge on the dynamics of good drainage. We install systems to the highest industry standard after a thorough study of all the factors that contribute to the problem .We warranty our work so you will never have to worry about it again.
