Landscape Installation
Creating a new landscape from the ground up requires careful planning, proper preparation, and skilled execution. Our landscape installation service covers complete property transformations, including bed preparation, plant selection and placement, soil amendments, and hardscape integration. We handle everything from clearing existing vegetation to installing the final plants, ensuring proper grading and drainage throughout. Our installations include quality plants from trusted nurseries, professional-grade materials, and meticulous attention to spacing for optimal growth.
Landscape Designs
Every successful landscape project starts with a thoughtful design that balances aesthetics, functionality, and maintenance requirements. Our landscape design service includes professional 3D renderings and CAD drawings that let you visualize the finished project before we break ground. We consider your property's unique characteristics, including sun exposure, soil conditions, and architectural style, to create designs that feel custom-tailored to your space. You'll receive a comprehensive plan with detailed layouts, plant selections, and material recommendations that serves as the blueprint for your dream landscape.
Landscape Lighting
Strategic lighting extends your outdoor living space into the evening hours while adding security and dramatic visual appeal. Our landscape lighting services include accent lighting that highlights architectural features, pathway lighting for safe navigation, bistro lights for entertaining areas, and downlighting that creates ambient moonlight effects. We install energy-efficient LED fixtures with transformers that power your system reliably for years. Every lighting design considers both aesthetic goals and practical needs, creating inviting outdoor spaces that enhance rather than overpower your landscape.
Mulch Installation & Replacement
Fresh mulch gives your landscape beds a polished, finished appearance while providing practical benefits for plant health. We offer mulch installation in brown, black, and red varieties to complement your home's exterior and existing landscape features. Our service includes proper bed edging to create clean lines, weed fabric installation for long-term suppression, and application of fresh mulch at the ideal depth. We also offer river rock replacement for areas where you want a low-maintenance alternative that prevents erosion and gives beds that well-maintained look.
Tree Installation & Transplanting
Trees provide shade, privacy, seasonal interest, and long-term property value when selected and planted correctly. Our tree installation service includes species selection based on your site conditions and goals, proper planting techniques that give trees the best start, and guidance on care requirements for the first few years. We source quality specimens from reputable nurseries and install them at the correct depth with proper soil amendments. When you have existing trees in the wrong location, we also offer tree transplanting services to relocate established specimens to better positions on your property.
Artificial Turf Installation
Modern artificial turf provides a lush, green lawn year-round without the watering, mowing, or maintenance requirements of natural grass. Our artificial turf installation is perfect for high-traffic areas, shaded spots where grass struggles, pet areas, or anywhere you want a consistently beautiful lawn without the upkeep. We prepare the base properly with grading and drainage considerations, install quality turf products designed for realistic appearance and durability, and secure edges professionally. The result is a maintenance-free lawn that looks great in all seasons and provides a clean, mud-free surface for pets and children to enjoy.
Sod Installation
Professional sod installation provides an instant, natural lawn with dense coverage and uniform color, without the long wait required for seeding. Sod installation is ideal for new construction, lawn replacements, erosion control, or properties that need fast, reliable results with a healthy, established appearance from day one. We prepare the soil with proper grading, soil conditioning, and moisture management before installing high-quality sod suited to local conditions. Each section is laid precisely and secured to support strong root development. The result is a healthy, natural lawn that establishes quickly, drains properly, and delivers reliable long-term performance.
