When I decided to begin being a landscaper it wasn't just for a way to earn a living, but more for a way to create landscapes and stonework that would last a lifetime.
My designs are set apart from all the other landscapers out there based on these 5 principles-
1. Plant selection. In order for your new landscape to look natural when newly installed, it should look as if it has been there for several years. Size does matter. We attempt with every
design to install larger plants, incorporating texture and color, with the best spacing, and the best coverage.
2. Value. Given a reasonable budget, our installations will give you the most for your money and investment. Landscaping is the easiest way to enhance your home's value and double your
money on that investment. A far greater bang for your buck than say a new kitchen or bath. It's all about curb appeal!
3. Low Maintenance. My landscape designs are based upon sound gardening principles. Plant the right plant, in the right spot, the right way, and it will give you years of enjoyment. Whether
a full sun landscape or full shade. My landscapes are designed to last. Spacing is always concentrated upon so that renovating a overly planted landscape in a short time will not be
necessary. See the landscapes portfolio for spacing examples. Some of those landscapes are at least 5-7 years old! Plants are selected for the area to be planted that will have a high
tolerance to insect and disease pressures, which reduces the need for excessive fertilization and pesticide applications.
4. Lots of color. Look at the portfolio of my work. All have more color and texture than what is being offered by other landscapers. Too many landscapers concentrate on just the green. Why
not have reds, yellows, blues, purples, greens and flowers to compliment? I design landscapes to give you year round enjoyment. Color, texture and form make your landscape enjoyable,
even in the winter. We specifically use perennials that will flower spring, summer, and fall in every landscape.
5. Natural Products. Here is where my designs really are set apart from the rest. I avoid using man made hard scape products in landscape installations. Natural stone is best to compliment
your home and gardens. Stamped concrete products eventually look dated, trendy, and somewhat commercial whereas Bluestone does not. Bluestone is timeless! Most landscape
contractors work looks great but then it's just like everyone else's. This is because stamped concrete products are too often relied upon in their designs and the color and texture of the
plants are often not given much consideration. My landscape's are unique and will set your home apart.
