Landscape Build & Install
Our highly skilled team is equipped to design and install exquisite landscapes that leave a memorable first impression. Utilizing advanced equipment and extensive expertise, we ensure that each project is completed with the utmost precision and attention to detail. From initial design to final installation, we are committed to transforming your outdoor space into a beautifully functional environment.
RETAINING WALLS
Walls are a great way to add dimension and separation to a landscaping project. By working with the natural contours of your property we can:
-
Eliminate the need for mowing sloped areas
-
Create attractive areas for plantings and gardens
Retaining walls are a popular option for creating elevated levels, and can be constructed with a variety of materials, such as brick pavers, stone, and other hardscaping elements. Not only do walls create an aesthetically pleasing look, but they also provide functional separation between different areas of your landscaping.
When designing your landscape with walls, it is important to consider the desired purpose, materials, and size of the wall to create a functional and visually appealing landscape.
SHORELINE SERVICES
We know lakes can give beautiful views but also do some damage. We can offer shoreline restoration, piling, and bluff work to keep your property looking its best.
We design and build organic shorelines, which are a combination of hardscaping and plantings that work together to protect the landscape from erosion caused by strong summer storms and winter ice and snow.
