Landscaping
Ten line items · quote item by itemDesign and plan
Site survey, a scaled 2D plan, choice of materials and plants. The plan is yours to keep, even if you build it elsewhere.
Paver installation
Driveway, walkway, patio. Compacted 0-¾ stone base in layers, polymeric sand, anchored edging.
Retaining walls and stone stairs
Architectural blocks or natural stone, drainage behind the wall, granite or precast concrete steps.
Wood deck and patio
Treated hemlock, cedar or composite, on screw piles. Railing, steps and storage under the deck.
Garden beds and planting
Trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses chosen for zone 4-5, actual sun exposure and your tolerance for upkeep.
Sod and seeding
Sod for an instant result, hydroseeding for large areas. Topsoil added first.
Pool landscaping
The entire surround of an in-ground pool: pavers, retaining wall, staircase, code-compliant fencing, grading and chlorine-tolerant plants.
Outdoor lighting
Low-voltage LED along paths, walls and trees. Timer and photocell, buried wiring.
Irrigation systems
Separate zones for lawn and beds, smart controller, compressed-air winterizing every fall.
Drainage and grading
Slopes toward the street, French drain, sump pit, fixing lots that drain back toward the foundation. Often the first thing to address.
How it works
Free, 45 to 60 minutes. We measure, look at slopes, soil and machinery access, and listen to what you want to do outside.
Within 10 business days: a scaled plan and a line-by-line quote naming quantities and materials. Valid for 60 days.
20% deposit at signing, which reserves your calendar spot. The balance is paid in two installments: mid-project and at completion.
Two weeks before, we confirm your start date and number of days. A foreman is assigned, with a direct cell number.
The same foreman from start to finish. Site swept and materials stored every evening, machinery on mats to protect the lawn.
5 years on paver and wall work, 1 year on trees and shrubs, 90 days on sod and perennials. Follow-up visit at week 6.
Year-round maintenance
A seasonal contract, the same crew visiting on the same day each week, and an email report after every visit.

Taxes extra · free quoteThese aren't fixed rates: soil, site access, drainage and material choices can double the price. We publish them anyway so you know if your project fits your budget before calling us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before you signWhen should I book a complete landscaping project?
Ideally in winter: large projects get booked in February. Maintenance and small jobs fit in all season long, from mid-April to the end of October.
Can the price change during the job?
No. The quoted price is firm; any change goes through a written change order that you sign before we do the work.
What does the warranty cover?
5 years on paver and retaining-wall work, 1 year on trees and shrubs, 90 days on sod and perennials, exactly as written in the quote.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. If you're away, the foreman sends you photos of the job every evening, and the property is swept before the crew leaves.
Do I own the plan if I don't do the work with you?
Yes. The scale plan is yours, and its cost is credited if we build the project.
