Our landscape department finished up a project this weekend just before the heavy rain. The weather has been brutal this last week, but we were able to sneak this project in.

Recently our landscape department performed a 'face lift' for a customers home. The landscape previouslly had not been updated for more than 20 years and was in need of renovation. We utilized some aspects of the existing landscape, but most of it was removed. The plan called for more deciduous plant material mixing with evergreen to give the outdoor environment more charactor. Our crew also cleaned up the recently completed back patio by installing a small landscape bed and bringing in topsoil to re-establish the lawn. Below are before and after pictures. Enjoy!
