Irrigation and Sod
Sprinklers for the lawn and drip for beds, sized for the yard. Then sod so you are not waiting a season for seed to fill in.

Landscape Construction for New and Existing Homes
Irrigation and sod, pavers and retaining walls, fire pits, and drainage. Built so the yard works, then looks good.
A Yard That Holds Up After the Build
New construction and residential. A lush lawn and a healthy garden add curb appeal, can raise the value of the property, and make the outdoor space one you actually use. We install irrigation for lawn sprinklers and drip, then the hardscape that keeps water and soil where they belong.
This is one part of our services. For the yard after it is built, see landscape maintenance. For trees on the property, see tree services.
What We Build
Pavers and Retaining Walls
Walks, patios, and walls that hold a slope. We set the base so the surface stays level instead of sinking after the first rainy season.
Fire Pits and Drainage
A fire pit placed where it is safe to use, and drainage that moves water away from the house, the walk, and the low spots that stay soggy.

Construction Care You Can Do Yourself
A few habits protect a new install. Digging, walls, and buried pipe are crew work. Call 811 before anyone puts a shovel in the ground.
1 Call 811 before you dig
Utilities are often shallower than people think. The free locate marks gas, power, and communications. Wait for the marks. Do not trench an irrigation line or a drain on a guess.
2 Water new sod on a schedule
For the first week, keep the sod damp, not swimming. Short waterings a couple of times a day are enough if the pieces stay moist. In week two, water less often and a bit longer. After that, a deep soak when it has not rained is plenty. Corners and seams dry out first.
3 Keep soil off the house
Do not pile dirt, mulch, or sod against siding. Covering the bottom of the wall traps moisture. The ground next to the house should slope away so rain runs into the yard, not into the foundation.
4 Aim the sprinklers
A head spraying the house, the sidewalk, or the street is wasting water and staining surfaces. You can usually twist a pop-up nozzle so the spray stays on the grass. If a head is broken, geysers, or will not shut off, that is a repair, not a weekend redesign of the zones.
5 Sweep sand into paver joints
After a new paver walk settles, sweep joint sand back into the gaps when you see them open. Pull weeds by hand while they are small. Do not blast new pavers with a pressure washer. High pressure pumps out the sand and scars the stone.
6 Give a fire pit room
Keep a portable pit well away from the house, a fence, and overhanging branches. Set it on bare ground or pavers, not on a wood deck. A built-in pit, a gas line, or a pit on a slope is not a do-it-yourself project.
7 Notice where water sits
After a hard rain, look for puddles against the house, across a walk, or in the same low spot every time. A soggy corner you can fill with a bag of soil is fine. Water that returns, undermines a walk, or needs a pipe under the driveway needs a drainage plan.
8 Leave the structural work to us
Retaining walls, new irrigation zones, grading a slope, and any dig near a marked utility are how people get hurt or flood a neighbor. Send a photo with your estimate. We will tell you if it is a small fix or a build.
