Services
Landscape Design
Our comprehensive landscape design service creates customized outdoor environments tailored to your property and lifestyle. We develop detailed, to-scale plans including plant schedules, hardscape elements, and water features. The process involves thorough site analysis, client collaboration, and color-rendered final plans to visualize completed projects.
Construction Administration
We provide professional construction administration to ensure accurate implementation of design plans. This includes contractor coordination, site visits during critical construction phases, and ongoing client consultation throughout the build process. Our presence guarantees design integrity while addressing any field adjustments that may arise.
On-Site Consultation
For smaller projects or specific areas, we offer on-site consultations with immediate design solutions. During 1-2 hour sessions, we assess your space, discuss goals, and create practical planting plans directly in your yard while you observe and participate in the decision-making process.
Xeriscaping
Specialized xeriscaping services focus on water-efficient landscapes that thrive in arid climates. We implement seven core principles including appropriate plant selection, soil improvement, and hydrozoning to create sustainable, low-maintenance gardens that conserve resources while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Residential Landscapes
We design complete residential landscapes from new construction to renovation projects. Services include full-yard transformations, front/backyard specialization, and integration of outdoor living elements like kitchens and water features, all tailored to homeowners' specific needs and property characteristics.
