Learn some tips and tricks to BOOST your home’s exterior through landscaping!

Window Boxes bring instant character to your home. Mix & match flowers, plants, herbs & succulents, and don’t forget to rotate with seasonal displays!

Pots & Planters add some color and enhance your home’s attractiveness with container pot gardens! Spruce up your front entry (or porch) with free-standing or hanging planters, filled with living beauty. Pots and planters are the perfect vessels for growing pretty much anything your heart desires and displaying ever-changing seasonal colors.

Beds & Borders are a great way to effortlessly upgrade your front yard appearance. Try using stone or a decorative border design. Frame your home with vibrant plant and/or flower beds and line your driveway/walkways with stunning perennials.

Outdoor Lighting amplifies your nighttime exterior, and in turn, creates a welcoming ambiance. You can feature garden or landscape elements through accent lighting, and deliver safety & security by illuminating your walkways and pathways.

Balancing Soft & Hardscapes into your landscape adds texture and aesthetic appeal. Hardscape materials such as pavers, concrete, composite, stone, asphalt & wood -coincide perfectly with softscapes (or living elements) like trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers, and succulents.

Mulch is a very simple and affordable way to freshen up and/or transform your yard. Mulch provides definition & contrast between your lawn and beds, which helps your plantings stand out. So, start pulling out your weeds and adding mulch!

Crushed Stone/Rock Landscaping is not only easy to install and very low maintenance but also creates an attractive design. Crushed stone, gravel, and river rock are ideal for edging, path & walkways, rock gardens, water features, and dry river rock beds.

Walkways & Pathways are not only functional but bring a visual aesthetic to your property. Create an inviting walkway with natural stone or add a tranquil element using bluestone steppers or crushed bluestone gravel. Add some drama with a diamond pattern or charm with cobblestone. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

Ground Cover is a layer of beauty as well as functionality. It’s a natural erosion stabilizer, that also provides topsoil protection and fights weeds. Did we mention there is minimal maintenance required?
