How design works
Rob, our project consultant, walks the property with you, looks at the grade, the drainage and your style, and gives you a ballpark. If it’s a fit, design starts that day.
Our design team builds the 2D plan and 3D rendering. Rob presents it, and we revise it with you until it’s right. Then you get the final proposal.
Planting
We plant deciduous shade trees, evergreens, shrubs, perennials and flowers, chosen for the soil, the sun and shade, and how much moisture the spot holds. Red clay, hot summers and cold snaps narrow the list, so plant choice is part of the design.
Bed renovations, sod and ground cover
Older yards often need a tear-out first: removing overgrown beds and tired lawn, regrading for drainage, then planting, edging and new sod.
Sod goes down on graded, conditioned topsoil, laid tight and staggered, with watering instructions for the first weeks. Beds are finished with wood mulch, pine straw or decorative rock such as river rock, with block or steel edging.
