A new driveway can immediately improve the curb appeal of your home. A cracked driveway not only looks unsightly, but it can also present safety hazards. Concrete is the most preferred material for driveways, and for good reason. It is durable, long-lasting, and requires very little maintenance. Driveways can be stylish, as well as functional. By adding certain design elements to a driveway, you can remove it from the "boring concrete" status. For some homes, a gravel driveway might be a better match.

Xeriscaping is a style of landscaping that conserves water with the use of creative plant and hardscape design. A xeriscape won't deny you the lush foliage or color of a traditional landscape. It's a creative, way to give you both, but it will also allow you to spend less time on watering, less time on grooming and more time enjoying life.

We offer exterior lighting designs for style, safety and security. Landscape lighting can make any landscape look amazing at night. Landscape lights add much needed illumination at night for navigation and safety. Landscape lighting effectively expands your usable space in the evening so you can continue to enjoy your landscape even longer. Let us light up your yard!

Outdoor living is not a new idea; it has become a way of life. In recent years, there has been an increased demand for creating an extension of the interior living space and moving it outdoors. Adding a patio, kitchen, fire feature, etc., only adds to your home's enjoyment and value! Based on the size of your space and how you are planning to utilize the space, it is important to develop a strategic approach to implement the original design we will create to match both your personality and needs.

A patio can bring a welcoming and relaxing vibe to any backyard. Our designers will help you determine the best materials for your patio based on the topography and condition of your yard. We take into consideration the grading and slope, trees and roots, drainage and erosion. We can customize a patio for every shape, style and function.

Stamped concrete is concrete that has been colored and imprinted to replicate slate, flagstone, tile and brick. It is a beautiful option for patios, driveways, walkways, entries, courtyards and pool areas. Stamped concrete is popular for the color and pattern options it offers at a very affordable price. It is considerably lower than the materials whose patterns it replicates. It's more than just concrete, it's your outdoor flooring.

Water has always been considered a calming source. Whether you're looking for a quiet trickle or the splash of water against rock, we can custom design a water feature to meet your needs. Fountains, ponds and waterfalls can also cover background noises. If you're looking to create a habitat for fish or a feature with calming sounds, we've got you covered. Water features also attract wildlife including birds, butterflies and salamanders to your backyard. We will design the perfect aquatic environment to give your yard a focal point with movement.
