What I Do
Each link below opens a detailed page covering exactly what's included, pricing notes, and what to expect.
See your yard before we plant a thing. A custom design — plant palette, layout, lighting, and irrigation — so you know exactly what you're getting before the work starts.
See landscape design
Mulch, sod, decorative stone, stepping-stone walkways, raised garden beds, planting installs, soil amendments. The build work — what brings the design to life.
See landscaping details
New sod lawns and patch repairs with real prep: old turf out, clay amended and graded, sod laid tight and rolled, a written watering plan.
See sod details
Weekly and biweekly mowing, fertilizing, weed spraying, seeding. The recurring work that keeps a North Shore yard looking right all season.
See lawn care details
Fall plug aeration and fresh seed for thin, compacted lawns on clay. Two passes where it needs it, blends matched to sun and shade, and an honest answer on timing.
See aeration details
Targeted broadleaf spraying in the lawn, spring crabgrass pre-emergent, and hand-pulled beds — timed to the fall window that actually kills the roots.
See weed control details
Spring openings, fall leaf cleanups, bed cleanups, and debris removal. The reset jobs that bookend the season.
See cleanup details
Leaves off the lawn and beds, perennials cut back, a final mow, and gutters if you want them. Leaves hauled or set out for your village's pickup.
See fall cleanup details
French drains, underground downspout extensions, surface leveling and grading. Fixing the wet spots and water problems North Shore clay soil creates.
See drainage details
Walls that hold back a slope and control grade — in stone, boulder, block, or timber. Built on a proper base with drainage behind them so they last, for sloped and ravine lots.
See retaining wall detailsNatural stone steps for sloped entries, accent boulders and natural stone, plus garden bed borders and edging in stone or timber. Natural stone work — not paver patios.
See stonework details
Trimming and pruning for hedges, ornamentals, and small trees. Shape, health, and clearing overgrowth — without taking down anything that shouldn't come down.
See tree & shrub details
Hand clear-outs, downspout flushing, and a check for sags and leaks. Twice-a-year service that keeps water moving off your roof and away from your foundation.
See gutter cleaning details
Bulk material delivery (mulch, soil, stone) and custom junk removal. Yard waste, project debris, or that pile that's been sitting since last spring.
See hauling details
Landscape LED strip lighting installs — outdoor-rated, low-voltage, securely mounted, transformer wired. Looks polished, lasts seasons.
See lighting details
Residential snow plowing, sidewalk clearing, porch and step treatment, salt application. Per-storm or seasonal contract.
