Before you start digging or building, locate all of your property's utility lines!
It can be easy to get excited to get out there and get dirty, but there is still a bit of information needed before you break ground. Especially with large projects that include planting trees and large shrubs you need to prepare for their future. Avoid placing large trees and shrubs too close to structures providing them room to grow and avoid potential foundation damages. Avoid placing large trees and shrubs over gas, water, electric, or sewar lines as their roots may grow into those lines and disrupt your properties access to necessities.
What kind of yard do you want?
Zeroscape?
Zeroscaping refers to the amount of maintenance as well as the amount of plant life. These landscapes are completely rock, gravel, or soil created to minimize clean up and eliminate water use. They can create additional heat to landscape and is best reserved for areas that have naturally barren soil.
We have all of the Hardscaping material, Rock, & Gravel you may need!
Wild?
We have native plants and Wildflower seed to help create any meadow or wild landscape!
Xeriscape?
This style uses Waterwise and Native plants to create a lush landscape while minimizing water usage. Check out the Xeriscape Guidelines!
This is our specialty, and we can answer your questions along the way!
Edible & Productive?
