There are many things that set this business apart from other landscape contractors in the area. Her vision for what the yard could become was one of them. Then actually making that happen, it was impressive and really gratifying to watch it come together.

We had very specific ideas and needs — cut down on water consumption was a big one, a retaining wall, grading, and a natural “Colorado” look. They did exactly what we wanted, as well as made excellent recommendations.

Janice listened to us throughout both the creative and construction processes. We love our boulders and unique drought resistant plant selections. Everyone on the block stops, admires, and asks for her contact information.

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you give me pricing over the phone?
No — and we would encourage you to be skeptical of anyone who will. A phone number for an unseen project is a guess. We price after a discovery walk, from your actual site and an actual plan. Once pricing is documented, we honor it.
Why does design-build cost more than collecting three bids?
A low bid on an unseen site usually is not a price — it is an opening offer, collected later through change orders. One team designing and building means the plan is priced as it will actually be built, and accountability never changes hands.
Do you handle engineering and permits?
Yes. Walls that need an engineer’s stamp, gas lines, and city permits are coordinated as part of the project, so they show up in your schedule rather than on your to-do list.
How far in advance should we start planning?
Earlier than you would think — winter is design season. Planning in the off-season means your plan, engineering and permits are ready when build season opens.
Can a large project be built in phases?
Yes — that is what a master plan is for. We design the complete picture, then build it in phases over a season or two without rework.
