French Drains
Discreet, effective water management that protects your property's foundation and landscape.
We install professionally engineered subsurface drainage systems using perforated pipe, proper grading, and quality aggregate materials that redirect water away from problem areas.
These invisible solutions prevent basement flooding, eliminate standing water, and protect plant roots from waterlogged conditions while maintaining your landscape's aesthetic appeal.
Dry Creek Beds
Dry Creek Beds Transform drainage problems into beautiful landscape features that handle stormwater naturally.
Our dry creek beds use carefully selected river rock, boulders, and native plantings to create attractive channels that direct water flow during heavy rains while serving as striking garden elements during dry periods.
These naturalistic features add visual interest, prevent erosion, and provide habitat for wildlife while solving drainage challenges.
Downspout Drain Systems
Protect your home's foundation with properly designed systems that channel roof runoff away from structures.
We connect downspouts to underground drainage networks or attractive surface features that prevent water damage, eliminate soil erosion around foundations, and reduce basement moisture issues while maintaining clean sight lines and landscape aesthetics.
What We Install
Smart Irrigation Design
In-ground sprinkler systems tailored to zones and plant types. We design and install precision watering systems that deliver the right amount of water to each area of your landscape based on plant needs, sun exposure, and soil conditions. Our zoned approach ensures established trees receive deep, infrequent watering while new plantings get more frequent attention, maximizing plant health while minimizing water waste through efficient coverage patterns and proper scheduling.
App-controlled or timer-based watering. Take control of your landscape's hydration with smart irrigation technology that adapts to your lifestyle and local weather conditions. Monitor and adjust watering schedules remotely, receive alerts for system issues, and track water usage through intuitive smartphone apps, or rely on programmable timers that maintain consistent care even when you're away from home.
Efficient Water Management
Moisture and rain-sensing technology for seasonal efficiency. Advanced sensors automatically adjust watering based on real-time soil moisture levels and recent rainfall, preventing overwatering during wet periods and ensuring adequate hydration during dry spells. This intelligent technology reduces water bills, prevents plant stress from inconsistent watering, and supports sustainable landscape management that responds to natural weather patterns.
Eco-Friendly Ground Coverage Micro Clover Lawns
Soft, lush, nitrogen-fixing — stays green with less watering. Transform your lawn into a sustainable, low-maintenance landscape that naturally fertilizes itself while providing the soft, walkable surface you desire. Micro clover requires significantly less water than traditional grass, stays green through drought conditions, and creates a living carpet that supports beneficial insects while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
Wild Strawberry Groundcover – Low-growing, resilient, and pollinator-friendly. Replace traditional lawn areas with this native groundcover that produces delicate white flowers in spring, small edible berries in summer, and beautiful fall color.
Wild strawberry spreads naturally to create dense coverage, thrives in both sun and partial shade, and provides habitat for beneficial insects while requiring minimal maintenance once established.

Natural Landscape Solutions Creeping Phlox & Native Grasses
Perfect for slopes, erosion control, and layered textures. Address challenging landscape areas with resilient native plants that prevent soil erosion while creating stunning seasonal displays. Creeping phlox provides masses of spring color, while native grasses offer year-round structure and movement that adds natural beauty to slopes, difficult-to-mow areas, and transitional zones between formal and natural landscape areas.
Meadow & Mixed Native Blends – Low-maintenance, low-mow, and rich with seasonal character. Create dynamic landscapes that change throughout the year with carefully curated seed mixes of native wildflowers and grasses.
These naturalistic plantings require minimal watering once established, support local wildlife and pollinators, and provide ongoing visual interest through seasonal blooms, seed heads, and natural textures that reduce maintenance while increasing biodiversity.
Not Just Drainage. Intelligent Design.
Stormwater issues can undermine everything — your foundation, your lawn, even your peace of mind. We design and install subtle, effective, and visually integrated systems that protect your home while enhancing your landscape.
