Landscaping

Patios and Walkways

Pavers We are an ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Paver Institute) certified installer. This means that you are ensured of the highest quality of workmanship and a product that is both durable and beautiful. Pavers have many advantages over concrete including they rarely crack, they are easy to repair, and they come in a large variety of colors and shapes. There is no job that is too small or too big for us to do. We use exclusively Belgard Pavers, to learn more about proper installation and what products are available go to Belgard's Website.

Concrete We are able to do small to medium sized non – load bearing concrete jobs. Concrete is a slightly more cost effective alternative to pavers, but offers much less flexibility and variety.

Sod

This is a great way to achieve an instant lawn. Depending on your needs there are a variety of grasses available and we can help you with any of them. The key to a successful lawn is proper preparation of the soil, grading and a good watering system.

Decorative Rock / Granite

Rock and granite are a valuable tool for several reasons in your landscaping. It allows us to give the job a finished and clean look, as well as providing depth and elevation to your landscape through the use of river runs and mounds. As a separate benefit it also allows us to install landscape fabric as a weed barrier that will help significantly reduce the recurrence of weeds. There are a large variety of colors and sizes that are available depending on your taste. We keep samples from most suppliers at our office so we can match your existing rock, if it is available, or can make suggestions based on what you are looking for.

Plants

Plants are the best way to give your yard the personality that you are looking for. You can decide to go desert, tropical, etc, and all that is achieved in large part by your choice of plants. Our salesmen are all experts in suggesting the plants that would best suit your needs. To help start your process there are many websites available to research for the plants that you would like. A few that we recommend are:

Please keep in mind that plants come in all different shapes and sizes. Two of the same plant may not look identical in size or shape. Note that while winter is a great time for planting deciduous trees, the tree will usually not have leaves when it is planted. Deciduous trees and bushes will bud again in the spring. Most plants that experience frost bite will also come back in the spring. If you have a deciduous tree or a frost bitten plant and are worried that it is dead, please wait until spring before you trim it or remove it. Often it is only dormant and will bud again in the spring.

Borders

Paver Pavers are available in a variety of colors and are ideal for matching a paver patio or walkway. Paver border can be installed in just about any shape to fit your needs. To see the full range of available colors refer to the paver section above and look at Belgards’ website.

There is a large variety of borders that are offered for the purposes of outlining your grass areas or defining your property line. We do not offer all of them but we do offer a wide range of selections to accommodate your needs.

Brick Our standard is a simple red concrete brick, but you can also have clay brick to match your existing landscaping. There are several different ways to orient your brick as well, which you can choose depending on your preference.

Concrete Curbing Concrete curbing is the only product that we sub-contract and to see a full range of available shapes and colors look at our suppliers website. Cubing can be used in most of the same places as brick and pavers, but is sometimes limited by the radius that is available.

Walls

**Please note that we also offer stucco and cultured stone

Celtik Wall The Celtik wall system allows you to create imitation natural stone retaining walls up to 36” tall. It is a single sided wall that uses a patented pin system to hold the units together. This system is also manufactured by Belgard so you can look at their website at http://www.belgard.biz/retaining-wall.htm to get ideas for your landscaping.

Keystone Country Manor wall Offers the look of a hand laid stone with the advantage of segmental wall construction wall and design. Country manor is a heavier duty wall than the Celtik wall system, so it can be used as a retaining wall as high as you would like. It is also double sided so is ideal for creating courtyards, etc. To learn more about the Country Manor wall system look at their web site at: http://www.keystonewalls.com/pages/DesignPro_pages/DP_CM.html.

Lighting

With the proper placement of landscape lights you can create dramatic effects using up lighting to accent trees, or down lighting to brighten pathways and lower vegetation. All of our lighting is of the highest quality. We only use quality metal fixtures and high gauge wire to ensure the best results. Our lights also come equipped with 15 to 20 watt bulbs to maximize the effect created by the lights. The system is more expensive than you can buy at the “big box” stores, but you get what you pay for. To see more information on the lights please visit Nightscape.

BBQ's and Fireplaces

To complete your back yard there is nothing that has the effect of a built in bar-b-que. We can install a high end island to suit all of your needs. To see a full list of the products that we offer look at our suppliers website, at Outdoor Kitchen Concepts.

Water features

Water features are one of the best ways to add beauty and value to your home. There are many different sizes, shapes and styles of ponds available.
