What a dramatic transformation! Our team renovated this yard by laying 7000 sq ft of Bermuda sod to secure immediate ground coverage and erosion prevention. We also dispersed 70 tons of Class B Rip Rap alongside the house for identical reasons. The front yard was graded to remove high spots, seeded with Rye grass, and blanketed with hay straw to ensure seed stability. Finally, we applied 100 bales of pine straw to achieve a visually appealing finishing touch. I am profoundly grateful to my team for their unrelenting support throughout the day and into the night.

I’ll post videos in the next post

We were able to help New Life Church create a temporary parking lot, which involved leveling the ground and applying 170 tons of crush and run at a depth of 3 inches. We also built a staircase to provide convenient access up and down the hill.

Y’all go check out New Life Church for a great service and community of people.

This client desired a fire pit that would provide enjoyment without exceeding her budget. We started the project by leveling the ground, laying landscaping fabric, and installing six 4x4 posts for lighting. The pit was dug and filled with leveling sand to ensure a uniform surface. Eight railroad ties were arranged in an octagonal shape and the area was filled with small river rocks. The client had a swing she wanted hung and those 4x4 posts were reinforced with concrete to create a sturdy structure. We loved the outcome of this project, and the end result was outstanding. It’s also puppy approved!

Sorry I forgot to take picture during the process.

The customer faced issues with washing and erosion on this substantial embankment. Despite having soil and seed put out in the past, the area remained unfilled. We addressed the problem by spreading more than 70 tons of Class B Rip Rap to ensure no additional erosion or washing occurred, and initially sprayed the ground to kill all present vegetation.

The customer wanted to conceal their gas tank. They sought a more attractive view to enjoy during their outdoor time. We planted six, 7 Gallon Emerald Heights Dystillium to offer instant coverage and added a new border around it.

For this project, a customer asked us to build a walkway from their home to the pier at Lake Gaston. To ensure stability, we graded the slope and tracked the path. We then installed 130 feet of landscaping timbers, adding cross-sections every 8 feet. Additionally, we laid down landscaping fabric and filled the steps with pea gravel. Finally, we refreshed the natural areas with pine straw.

This customer had difficulty mowing the ditch due to safety concerns and wet conditions. To resolve this, we installed 28 tons of Class B Rip Rap and surrounded the trees with 20 bales of pine straw, ensuring no further mowing would be required. We also removed three trees with dead tops, focusing on creating a visually appealing and functional area.

This customer sought a thorough overhaul of their landscape. We started the project by clearing the existing, overgrown bushes and trees and reconstructing their beds. We also incorporated two new beds into their yard. A primary concern of the customer was to rectify the well, which was a detracting feature of the yard. We planted four Loropetalums to obscure the well. We replaced the dead maple tree with an Emperor Japanese Maple. Additionally, we crafted a small bed centered around a Weeping Willow, accompanied by Hostas. After removing the old bushes, we replaced them with WinterGem Boxwoods, SkyPencils, and Crimson Queen Japanese Maples with a fresh layer of black mulch.

This is a small project we did before all this rain this week. The customer requested some small shrubs and river rock around their steps. We intend to return to the site in the spring to install beds all the way around the house. In addition, we planted 10 Green Giants in the front yard to create a privacy buffer from the road.
