We can design your landscaping plan and give you an exact cost of your total project. You might choose to do the entire project now or to complete the project in stages. With our plan, you will have a clear concept of your working goals.

We understand that you want your landscaping to not look like every house on your street. With our experience, we know what grows in our area and we have a wide selection of shrubs, trees and grasses available to suit your individual preferences. Here are a few of our services:

New Landscapes

A good lawn does not happen by accident. The adage ” Preparation is 90% of the job” applies to all areas of landscaping, but we find it is especially true with lawns. The lawn sets off the home and highlights the beds. Therefore a well prepared & well maintained lawn is a credit to the landscape.

If your need is the renewal of an old or poorly prepared lawn or the installation of a new lawn contact us. We will be more than happy to accommodate you.

Design Services

The landscape is an extension of the home & home owner. We look forward to getting to know you. Listening and asking the right questions are important components in creating that perfect yard for you. You must also feel comfortable with us. Therefore the first meeting is without obligation.

Graphic Design Contracts Only

We create graphic designs to scale not only incorporating the usual retaining walls, sitting areas, bird and butterfly areas and plant placement & list but also addressing concerns such as wind direction and velocity, drainage, shade, deer, raccoon & heron etc., not forgetting, of course municipal by-laws.

This service includes:

• An initial connection on site to walk around with the home owner.
• We come for a second visit to present the rough plan for clients thoughts, revisions and agreement.
• The formal plan is constructed and presented to the client.

Bubble Plan

A bubble plan accompanies an on site consultation with the home owner.

• A basic area highlighting (or bubbling).
• Accompanied by recommendations and a plant list.

Night Lighting

Landscaping is a major lifestyle investment which behoves us to enjoy it all of our waking hours.

Evening pleasure is intensified when one’s yard exhibits a completely new personality at night. Yard specimens are highlighted, lighted pathways beckon, arbours are inviting, safety is assured.

More new products are available now for night lighting than ever before. We can help you take advantage of it.

Paving & Retaining Walls

There are many different styles of paving and patios including:- sandstone, preformed concrete blocks, stamped concrete, cobblestone, slate etc.

Retaining walls have their own personalities, whether from natural stones (large and small) preformed block, mortared rock, wood, concrete, exposed aggregate etc. Your overall landscape style will be a guide to the most suitable choice.

The strength and sense of longevity which are stated with stone paving and retaining walls speak for themselves. As master stone mason Bill Child would say, “It is a wonderful thing to think that what we are creating now will be in place long after we are gone.”

Ponds & Water Features

What is a landscape without water features? If the budget allows for a pond or stream it is money well spent. Koi, water plants, and the soothing sound of running water create an ideal setting for rest and contemplation. There are many options even the smallest bowl fountain, strategically placed will provide pleasure, not only by sound but by attracting birds. It will bring a small corner to life.

Xeriscape™ Design

” Water Conservation Through Creative Landscaping ”

The Xeriscape ( pronounced ZIR-i-scape ) Principal was developed by Jim Grabow ( the then president of the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado ) and a task force from Denver Colorado in 1981 for the public participation in making landscape water use more efficient. The seven Xeriscape fundamentals have become universal and applicable in every climate. We had heard whispers of this in 1993, but had great difficulty in accessing information. After trying all the major North American Universities, we eventually contacted the Smithsonian who, after doing some research, pointed us in the right direction.
