Scope of Our Services
We begin with an on-site consultation to assess the design and maintenance needs of your garden. Based on this meeting, we help you develop both short and long term plans for creating the environment you desire. If you seek design assistance, we will draw up complete detailed plans or simple sketches depending on your needs. Our specialties include:
- Container design
- Flagstone paver walkways and patios
- Soil preparation and plant installation
- Fences, arbors, and small retaining walls
- Small ponds and water features
- Irrigation and drainage systems
- Specialty pruning, garden clean-up and maintenance
We specialize in the urban landscape. Our designs emphasize a rich tapestry of foliage, bloom, and texture. We strive to create a sequence of year-round interest whether it is in a new garden or a renovation.
