These homeowners came to us for a complete landscape masterplan for their new construction home.

We started with grading, then created a functional backyard built for everyday living and entertaining. The space features a stone porch and steps, a paver patio with dining and lounge areas, and a transitional fire pit.

This space went from a blank slate to a backyard built for relaxing and gathering with friends and family.

Sunny days are better with a shaded place to relax.

A custom shade structure adds comfort and balance to your backyard while giving the space a clean, finished look. Covered spaces provide the relief you need without taking you back indoors.

Before & After ✨
This backyard started with a patio that was damaged and outdated. We replaced it with bluestone pavers, added a fully integrated outdoor kitchen, and refreshed the surrounding landscaping to create a more cohesive space.

Now it feels clean, updated, and built for both relaxing and spending time with friends and family.

An outdoor kitchen turns your backyard into a space built for gathering, cooking, and staying connected with family and friends. Built-in grills, fridges, and dedicated prep space bring everything together, so hosting feels easy and natural.

Designed for real use. Built for how you live.

This project started as a deck refresh and turned into a full upgrade 🔨

After removing the old structure, we uncovered a major grade change between the deck and the lower patio. We worked with the homeowner to create a solution that stayed on budget and improved the connection between spaces.

The deck was expanded to include separate dining and lounge areas, with a new layout and a cedar pergola. Natural outcropping stone steps and large flagstone steppers create a clean transition between levels while also helping stabilize the hillside.

Finished with new plantings and a Japanese Maple, this space is now functional, low-maintenance, and built to last.

🌷 First Day of Spring… But Is Your Yard Ready?

After a long winter, your yard may be covered in leaves, branches, and leftover debris. It’s easy for landscapes to look tired and overgrown this time of year.

The problem is that skipping a proper spring cleanup can hold your lawn back all season. Built-up debris blocks sunlight, traps moisture, and prevents new growth from thriving.

That’s where we come in. Our Spring Cleanup service clears away winter buildup, refreshes your landscape, and gets your property ready for a healthy, beautiful season ahead.

Start the season with a yard you’re proud of.
