Design and installation through weekly maintenance, plus the irrigation, drainage, and hardscape work most landscapers subcontract out. If it is outside and it is on your property, start by asking us.
We start with what the site gives us: where water goes, where the sun lands, and what the soil is. Then we plan beds, borders, and plantings that will still look right in five years, not just on install day.
Installation covers bed shaping and edging, soil amendment, trees and shrubs, perennials, sod or seed, and mulch or decorative stone. For larger projects we can stage the work over a season or two so the budget is not all at once.
This is a full trade, not a sideline. We install new sprinkler systems, take over service on existing ones, and fix the systems other people installed badly.
New installs are zoned by plant need and sun exposure rather than by whatever was convenient to trench, and we set controllers up with a real schedule instead of factory defaults. On service calls we track down the actual cause, whether that is a cut wire, a stuck valve, a bad head, or pressure that was never right to begin with.
Recurring work on a schedule, so the property looks cared for every week rather than only after a big cleanup.
Mowing routes are weekly through the growing season with height adjusted as the weather turns. Fertilization and weed control run on a program built for cool season lawns in central Indiana, and we handle the aeration and overseeding that actually thickens turf rather than just treating the symptoms.
Paver and stone work built on a base deep enough to survive Indiana freeze and thaw cycles, which is where most failed patios go wrong.
We excavate to the right depth, compact in lifts, and use proper edge restraint and polymeric joint sand. Retaining walls over a few courses get engineered backfill and drainage behind them rather than dirt pushed back in.
The soggy corner, the water in the window well, the swale that runs toward the house instead of away from it. Drainage problems get worse on their own and they wreck landscaping installed on top of them.
We diagnose where the water is actually coming from before proposing a fix, because a French drain in the wrong place is an expensive way to move a puddle. Common fixes are downspout extensions, catch basins, French drains, dry creek beds, and regrading.
Low voltage lighting that makes a property usable after dark and makes the work you paid for visible for more of the year.
We lay out fixtures for effect rather than lining up path lights every six feet: uplighting on specimen trees, wash on architectural features, and enough path lighting to walk safely. LED fixtures on a transformer sized with headroom for later additions.
The work that bookends the season, plus winter coverage for commercial properties that need to stay open.
Spring cleanups get the property ready to grow: bed cutting, debris removal, first mulch. Fall cleanups handle leaf removal and cutbacks and get irrigation blown out before the first hard freeze. Snow and ice management is available on seasonal contracts for commercial sites and HOAs.
That is normal, and it is what the site visit is for. Most calls start with a symptom rather than a service: grass will not grow in one spot, the patio has started to sink, half the lawn is brown while the other half is fine. Describe the symptom and we will work out the cause.
We will walk the property, talk through options, and put a written scope and price in front of you.
