Landscape Design and Installation

We offer full or partial landscape designs with installations for residential properties.  If you have contacted me for this service, I will set up a free consultation to hear what you want and then add what we can offer to make your one-of-a-kind landscape come to life. Once we discuss general costs in person, and you are comfortable with them, we can move to the design phase and fine tune your estimate. Once accepted, we can begin your installation at the earliest availability.  If there is something we cannot do, we will gladly provide one or more referrals of trusted service companies, or we will subcontract them during your installation process. 

We install patios, walkways and retaining walls make of pavers or natural stone, like the one next to this description.   Our favorite brands of concrete pavers are Techo-Bloc and EP Henry. We are happy to use any other brand you may want. Our installation process is mostly the same. We either use an open-graded base (minimum of 5" of 3/4" clean gravel with a 1" bedding layer of 1/2" clean chips) or we use Gator Base (tongue and groove panels made of high-density polypropylene that take the place of the crushed stone and bedding layers).  We do not use sand in any base prep.  

We added this service in 2021 and our customers love it! Now installing year-round.  I consider landscape lighting to be an art. You can completely change the appearance of your home and landscape by accentuating focal points of your home like shooting a well light up the side of your stone wall to cast shadows or project light on walkways with different patterns like in the picture next to this description. Not only does landscape lighting provide additional home security, but it also extends the time you can stay outside entertaining family and friends. We only use high quality fixtures, nothing from the big box stores. Each lighting estimate gets a picture showing what your home may look like with the new lights. Color changing lights are available. Great for holiday lighting and then you can change them right back to normal without having to remove your decorations. 

Spring and Fall are the most popular times for a landscape cleanup. However, we do this all year long for realtors looking to spruce up a home for pictures.  This service includes mulching, leaf shredding or removal, weeding, trimming, planting, and one-time mows for really high grass. If there is something you need done outside, just ask.

The picture next to this description is a major cleanup I did in January 2023 for a realtor looking to get a better offer for a client. 

If your lawn is dead, covered with weeds, or non-existent, you are the perfect person for a sod installation. We will prep your lawn by removing all the weed roots, grass roots and large rocks, add 1-3" of fresh topsoil, and install fully grown sod from your local sod farm. We can also ship in sod from other farms like Tuckahoe Turf Farm in South Jersey for an additional cost. Sod is initially expensive, but it's easier to take care of an established lawn rather than a weed-infested lawn.

One of our most popular services is installing privacy hedges.  We like to plant thick, evergreen shrubs or trees like Skip Laurels or Green Giant Arborvitaes.  We will gladly plant whatever you desire, so please contact us for a free quote on your new privacy hedge.
