Take a look around to get ideas about what
options might work for you, then give us a
call to discuss!
Retaining Walls:
Retaining walls help add structure and a
foundation to other options you have for
landscaping. They are also important for
creating usable space and ensuring drainage
of on property works correctly.
Patios:
Patios are essential areas to relax for you and gathering spaces for
family, friends, and guests. Each patio may have different
elements, but essential elements include the surface, surface
design, connectivity to your home and other walkways, and
drainage. Patios will often include other elements such as planters,
shade structures, and water features.
Back yard ideas:
Patios are essential areas to relax for you and gathering spaces for
family, friends, and guests. Each patio may have different elements,
but essential elements include the surface, surface design,
connectivity to your home and other walkways, and drainage.
Patios will often include other elements such as planters, shade
structures, and water features.
Front and side yard ideas:
Front yards usually contribute to a first impression to your home.
Often times they are also social gathering places to greet visitors
and neighbors. They may provide isolation from a roadway or offer
a place to relax and garden. They can also provide shade to you
and your home.
Pavers in landscaping:
Pavers provide a classic or natural look to walkways, patios, and
driveways. They are a great alternative to concrete where extra style
or a different look is needed.
Outdoor Kitchens, Kivas, Fireplaces, Fire
Pits:
Friends and family often gather around a place to cook or a place to
stay warm and talk to each other. These landscape features help you
enjoy the outdoors.
Outdoor kitchens are permanent fixtures used to cook and grill.
They may be open or covered from the elements. Kivas are
traditional fireplaces with benches. Fire pits are great areas to
gather around, stay warm and tell stories.
Water features, ponds, fountains, river
beds
Water features can add a beauty and serenity to your back or front
yard. Hearing the sound of water can add just the right amount of
tranquility and unique environment to enjoy your outdoor space.
They also offer the opportunity to attract birds and other wildlife as
well as explore water-loving plants that can add beauty to your yard.
Planters and gardens:
Add planters anywhere you want to cultivate your favorite plants or
display other yard ornaments. They can be constructed from many
types of block and concrete and surfaced with manufactured stone,
stucco, or other materials.
Walkways, sidewalks, pathways,
driveways
Pathways through your landscaping are often one of the first items
you plan for in landscaping. They provide ease of access to different
areas, protect your home from runoff, and sometimes provide
pathways inviting you to explore private or quiet areas. Walkways
can include cement, flagstone, pavers, brick, stepping stones laid in
grass or rock, and other options.
Commercial Landscaping
Commercial landscaping and maintenance adds value to your
business and keeps customers coming to your location.
Pergolas, Gazebos, Shade Structures
Pergolas, Gazebos, and other shade structures can provide refuge
from the sun but may also create new separate space that is
comforting to visit or great to gather with friends or family. They are
often added around a patio, but may be in an entirely separate
location in your yard. If you have the room in your yard, consider
one of these small structures located in a private place for solitude or
to gather for intimate conversations while you enjoy the outdoors.
Synthetic Lawn / Artificial Turf / Pet Turf
in landscaping:
Synthetic Lawn provides a great looking alternative to regular lawn
or sod installation and offers lower maintenance. Costs for
synthetic lawn are offset by ongoing savings in water, fertilizer,
mowing, weeding, and edging. Use of Pet Turf can also be a great
option for your animals and it can be easily cleaned and
maintained.
Sod / Lawn installation for landscaping:
A variety of sods and seed are available for lawn installation.
Types of sod that are recommended for our climate are Park Blend
and Fescue because they are drought tolerant. Blue is softer but
takes more water and maintenance. When installing sod, picking
the right border type is important to help with maintenance. We
also provide low-maintenance irrigation systems for your lawn as
needed.
