What we build
Six things, done properly
We stay with the work we know. Every job is designed in house and built by our own crews, never subcontracted.
Concrete paver, flagstone and bluestone patios on a compacted 6 inch stone base. Most patios take 4 to 7 working days.
From $28 per sq ft
Segmental block and natural stone walls with proper drainage stone and geogrid. Built to hold a slope for decades, not a few winters.
From $55 per face sq ft
Scaled planting plans, native shrubs and perennials, and beds dug and amended before anything goes in the ground.
Planting plans from $350
Low-voltage LED path, step and uplighting on a timer and photocell. Brass and copper fixtures that weather instead of rust.
From $3,200 for 8 fixtures
Spring and fall cleanups, edging, hardwood mulch and shrub pruning. Same crew each visit, on a set week.
Spring cleanup from $385
French drains, dry creek beds and regrading that move water away from the foundation and off the lawn.
From $38 per linear ft
