Residential and Commercial Design
It all starts with a plan.
Designed with your goals in mind to create a sustainable thriving landscape by selecting plants that meet your needs for years to come.
Whether it is food or a natural feel you are after there are many possibilities to choose from.
Water conservation and zone-adapted planting are important parts of every design.
We design by selecting plants that meet your needs today and for years to come.
Installation
Right plant, right place, right purpose, right time!
Proper installation ensures plant health and productivity. We start with the irrigation and hardscape then add the plants.
Healthy soil is the foundation of every successful garden! By combining organic amendments and plants that support soil health, you improve the biological soil structure. Companion plants that attract pollinators and predators of insect pests,
Irrigation
The importance of Irrigation!
The right timer can make a big difference in water consumption and intelligent watering practices. Trees, shrubs, and flowers or vegetables require different frequencies and run times to ensure the water you use reaches the proper depth for each root zone. Larger plants need deeper watering less frequently than shallow-rooted plants. You need a controller that can handle the diversity of your landscape.
Drip irrigation targets plants where they can access this precious resource without wasting it. Combining plants with similar water needs in the same area in the same zone makes water more efficient, saving money and water.
Using native plants saves water and benefits the ecosystem by providing food and shelter for wildlife. In time, most native plantings can thrive with very little additional irrigation.
Wire and valve location
We can locate your broken wires and hidden valves!
The ARMADA PRO 800D locates broken wires and hidden valves in your landscape.
One of the most common problems we encounter in repairing irrigation systems is finding valves buried or covered over time and lost in the landscape. Broken or frayed wires are also a common issue. When valves fail they are nearly impossible to locate without high-tech instruments.
Hardscape
Flagstone is becoming a lost art.
We create patios and walkways using Flagstone, interplanted with various groundcovers like Elfin Thyme for a permeable surface, capable of retaining rainwater.
Herb spirals are a great addition to your garden. I like to add strawberries as a ground cover and a treat while you are deciding what to add to your culinary masterpiece.
Keyhole gardens are compact, productive and attractive. The design is very efficient and conserves water.
Companion Planting
Companion plants can attract pollinators and predators of insect pests, accumulate minerals and nitrogen, and transform and release the available nutrients into the root zone of the surrounding plants.
