Transformation Tuesday 03/30/2021

This Transformation Tuesday involved a simple change that made a huge difference for this property. Our client had a brick patio that they loved very much BUT, there was only one problem - no plants to soften up the area. The first step in this transformation was to remove the bricks from the area that would become a flowerbed (as seen in the picture). Once all the bricks were removed, it was time to take out the sand. Although sand is a great base below brick, it is terribl

Q: What precautions are you taking during Covid? A: We take the safety of our staff and clients very seriously! 1.

Q: Can I get my yard landscaped without a maintenance contract once the landscape is done. I plan on doing the maintenance myself. A: Of course! We highly recommend getting a maintenance contract after a landscape project is complete to ensure your investment is well taken care of by our crews. However, if you have the time and dedication to maintain your own yard once we complete the landscape, that is completely your decision. We will not pressure you into a maintenance con

Question of the Week 03/06/2021

Q: I have a brick patio that has some broken bricks. Would you be able to remove the broken bricks and replace them? A: As long as the brick is not laid in cement it is a fairly simple process to remove broken bricks and replace them. The biggest concern is going to be the color match of the brick. Brick manufacturers change brick colors fairly often and discontinue manufacturing of older colors. There is a chance the brick may not match exactly but if you are okay with thi

Vanderwolf Pine Pinus Flexis Zone 4-7 This tree's unique growth pattern and pine texture set it apart from every other pine tree. As it grows, the Vanderwolf pine keeps a dense, pyramid shape instead of branching out. The needles tend to be as long as a ponderosa pine but are very flexible and soft, making it almost impossible for them to poke you. These needles provide this tree with its unique, fluffy textured look which helps this evergreen stand out from the rest. This tr
