We handle a variety of projects. Most often, we will do everything from start to finish on a turn-key design and installation, but we also work with clients as consultants. We can offer professional design services for those who want to do their own installation. We will manage the entire landscape process or just part. We do a lot of the installation in-house, but also work with a group of qualified contractors.

Design Review and Approval Process
We provide the experience and expertise to present your landscape project to county and city review agencies (as well as the Department of Antique Resources when needed for historic properties) to procure the necessary approvals that can eventually lead to permit acquisition. This includes presentations of rendered plans, color boards and material samples.
Construction Observation
During the life of the construction of a landscape project, we are can provide periodic (weekly, bi-monthly or monthly) and timely oversight to each project. Change orders are managed, along with site plan changes or upgrades, plus supplemental submittals.
