We offer a wide range of projects and recurring landscape services. Improve your curb appeal and your client’s experience with the following landscape and hardscape design options.
Landscape Design
Our landscape design package has several stages. These include:
- Initial plan development: It all begins with a meeting and discussion of your landscaping vision. We will offer suggestions and outline a plan based on your goals.
- Site analysis: We perform a site analysis to factor in existing features of your landscape, which will entail taking measurements and photographs of your property.
- Design review: After creating our initial plan, we will review it with you and make any changes you require. The determining factors will include the focal point for the design, ecological aspects, and sustainability. We will present you with a basic design plan, including key elements.
- Plant selection and placement: This is a crucial part of the design process, as selecting the right plants is important for the health and appearance of your landscape. We consider many factors, including moisture, sunlight, soils, climate, drainage, hardiness zone, competition with existing plants, and watering requirements.
- Design changes: Once we have begun installing your landscape, you will be able to initial changes through a change order. Once reviewed and approved, changes will be implemented.
- Landscape facelift: As your commercial landscape matures, it can become overgrown and outdated. Our commercial landscape services include updating your landscaping and rejuvenating your property to provide continued enjoyment and a sense of pride for both your employees and clients.
Hardscape Design
Hardscaping is an integral part of the commercial landscaping services we offer. Hardscape features such as paths and benches can add extra comfort and curb appeal to your commercial property. Here are some other hardscape features you may wish to consider:
- Planter boxes: These offer a great way to add additional foliage and color to your landscape, particularly to outdoor gathering spaces.
- Dry creek beds: A dry creek bed is a feature lined with large, medium, and small stones and edged with foliage to mimic a natural riverbank. We often incorporate them to guide or divert rainwater and prevent runoff and erosion after heavy rainfall.
- Retaining walls: This type of wall is designed to serve several purposes. Structurally, they help to hold soil in place and minimize erosion. They can also add a decorative element by adding an elevation transition.
- Patios: A patio can be used by your clients or your employees. We can construct this space extension with pavers or natural stone and add it to your existing deck or build a new one to suit your needs.
- Xeriscaping: This form of hardscaping incorporates stone, rocks, and gravel. Xeriscaping requires minimum maintenance and reduces water usage. For this feature, we use only native vegetation that will thrive in this environment.
- Paver driveways: Not only are paver driveways much more durable than concrete or asphalt, but they also add to the aesthetics of your commercial landscape.
- Fences and gates: Alongside screening and privacy, fences offer the peace of mind that comes with security. We offer aluminum, vinyl, or wood dancing options for commercial landscaping. Whichever you choose, all our fences are built to last and look good!
- Pavilions, pergolas, and trellises: Adding these structural features can provide screening or elevation to your commercial landscape, enhancing its beauty. These features are made of aluminum, vinyl, or wood.
