Some projects need more than new plants. We take on full front- and back-yard renovations from the dirt up: grading, drainage, irrigation, patios and stonework, water features, lighting and sound, sod and planting, with owner Nick Lawson overseeing the work from walk-through to final walk-around.

Excavation, laser grading and resloping so water goes where it should, done with our own excavator, front-end loader and tractor.
French drains, drain pipe, dry creek beds and outlets that carry water away from patios and the house.
Underground and drip systems, main lines and valves, planned around the new beds and turf.
Pavestone and flagstone patios, custom pergolas we build on site, flagstone paths, stone borders and decorative curbing.
Fountain installs, water features and oversized planters that anchor the space.
AMP landscape lighting, outdoor audio, sod, planting and mulch.
Water was pooling on the patio. We laser-graded the yard during excavation, ran drain pipe to a river-rock creek bed edged with boulders, bored a pipe under the concrete parking area to a swale at the property line, then installed underground and drip irrigation, pavestone and new sod. About one week from start to finish.
A backyard built from the ground up: layered tropical plantings, a flagstone pathway and clean edging, then AMP lighting with uplights on the crape myrtles and brick wall and path lights along the flagstone.
Grading, removal of old beds and large overgrown plants, transplanting, irrigation repair, new stonework and mulch, plus soil pH testing, weed control and fertilizer so the new landscape gets a healthy start.

Two cedar pergolas we built on site, one over an existing concrete patio and one with decorative privacy screen panels, set over a new flagstone patio with gravel joints.

A new flagstone patio with gravel joints and steel edging, plus a three-column basalt fountain we installed, from the basin and pump to the stone, framed by a caladium bed.

We cut a long, curved bed across an open lawn with an excavator, planted a full row of red-tip photinias, then finished it with mulch and a brick border.

All-new beds wrapping the front porch, the side of the house and the garage, held by a natural stone border and planted with crape myrtles, knockout roses, shrubs and seasonal color.

Nick plans the project and personally oversees the work, including trusted specialty subcontractors when a job calls for them.
Our own excavator, front-end loader and tractor, plus subcontracted heavier equipment and hauling when a job calls for it.
Grading, drainage and irrigation go in before hardscape, sod and planting, so nothing gets torn out later.
Large projects start with an on-site walk-through and a design plan, and the plan cost is credited if we do the install. We can then build the whole property at once or in stages.

The whole outdoor project: dirt work, drainage, irrigation, patios and stonework, water features, lighting, sound, sod and planting. Nick coordinates any specialty work so you have one point of contact.
Yes. We take on commercial landscaping of all kinds, from storefronts and offices to churches, neighborhood entrances and multi-family properties, as well as residential projects.
Yes. Many of our projects cover the whole property, front and back.
Yes, and we often recommend it. We plan the whole property up front, then build it in stages, for example the backyard this year and the front next season, so each phase fits the overall design.
For larger projects we recommend it. The plan cost is credited toward the job if we do the install.
