From specimen trees that serve as living art to understory shrubs that offer texture and seasonal color, each plant is chosen for its mature size, growth habit, and contribution to your landscape's overall composition and maintenance requirements.

Traditional Grass Varieties Fescue Sod

Ideal for shaded or cool-season areas. This versatile grass thrives in partial shade and cooler temperatures, maintaining rich green color even in challenging conditions. Fescue offers excellent foot traffic tolerance, stays lush through seasonal transitions, and requires less frequent watering than many traditional lawn grasses, making it perfect for areas under trees or north-facing slopes.

 

Zoysia Sod – Dense, low-growing, drought-tolerant. Create a carpet-like lawn that naturally crowds out weeds while requiring minimal maintenance once established. Zoysia's thick growth pattern provides excellent durability for high-traffic areas, stays green longer into fall, and significantly reduces water needs during summer months while maintaining a manicured appearance with less frequent mowing.

High-Performance Grass Bermuda Sod

Tough, fast-spreading for sunny yards. Perfect for active families and sunny locations, Bermuda grass recovers quickly from wear and establishes rapidly for immediate lawn coverage. This resilient variety handles heat, drought, and heavy use while maintaining dense growth that naturally repairs itself, making it ideal for play areas, sports activities, and full-sun landscapes.

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.
