Irrigation and water features are technical systems—our ability to operate at a high level in this area sets us apart from many other landscape service providers.

Water features such as ponds, streams, waterfalls and fountains bring the pulse of life to any outdoor space. We highly recommend a careful examination of what feature best fits your anticipated level of participation in the garden. While a simple fountain can be very easy to maintain, a large pond with fish should be considered a bit of a hobby as it will require some ongoing love and attention.

At the other end of the spectrum is the dry stream bed which hints at the presence of water without any of the maintenance. This is also a great option where access into deeper beds can be achieved with a very attractive “river” winding through. The inclusion of a water related element or feature into your garden will provide a level of sophistication and elegance that takes your garden to a higher level.

We believe that responsible irrigation is essential for a vibrant garden. We have invested in training and research regarding the most efficient and reliable product combinations to conserve water, automate the process, and allow for adjustability as your garden matures and changes throughout the years.

Lastly, drainage considerations are essential in developing functional outdoor spaces. By reviewing the topography and soil conditions of your yard, we can make recommendations on ways to avoid soggy spots in the yard. Collecting water and moving it away from your home and other structures is vital and a well-designed drainage system should address this and any other areas of concern.

I am SO happy with the final result! I mean jump up and down happy! I’m just thrilled at how it all looks. It’s an amazing transformation and I’m able to walk around on those walkways so easily and get up and down the stairs so much better. Thank you for being so easy to work with and so clear with all that went into making this such a success. – Laurie
