What We Do

Full grounds care, one crew, no subcontracting maze.

Garden Design & Planting

Full planting plans built around your soil, sun, and how you actually use the yard — not a generic template bed.

Hardscape & Stone Patios

Patios, walkways, and retaining walls in natural stone — built to outlast the plants growing around them.

Seasonal Maintenance

Spring cleanups, summer edging, fall leaf clearing, winter prep — booked once, handled all year.

Irrigation Systems

Zoned drip and sprinkler systems that water what needs it, skip what doesn't, and cut your water bill.

Outdoor Lighting

Low-voltage path and accent lighting so the garden reads just as well after dinner as it does at noon.

Lawn Renovation

Aeration, overseed, and soil correction for lawns that have given up — brought back without a full tear-out.

Terraced backyard retreat

A full front-yard conversion to native, drought-tolerant plantings — half the water, twice the bees.

Stone patio and fire pit
Amberleigh

Stone Patio & Fire Pit

A bluestone patio and gas fire pit built into an existing slope, with lighting for after-dark use.

From the Neighborhood

What Hollow Creek says.

"Our backyard was a mud slope for six years. Owen's crew terraced it in two weeks and it's the first thing guests ask about now."

— Danielle P., Hollow Creek

"They actually asked what plants I wanted to be able to identify by smell before they designed anything. That's not a normal landscaping question."

— Marcus T., Pinegate

"Quote matched the invoice to the dollar. In this business that alone puts them ahead of the last two crews we hired."

— Fatima N., Amberleigh
