“We want to do something with our backyard.” That's a perfectly good place to start.
Custom landscape installation is our signature service. It's for homeowners who want the whole space to come together, whether that's a backyard that has never felt finished or a new construction lot that's still bare dirt and sod.
Instead of tackling one piece at a time, we plan hardscape, plantings, lighting, and finish details as one design, so the patio, the beds, the walls, and the paths all work together. Then we build it as one project.
Owner Cole Schenck is involved from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. He listens to how you want to use the space, offers design and plant recommendations, and works alongside the crew during installation, so the person who heard your ideas is the same person making sure they're built right.
Planning
What we consider in every custom installation
- 01
Design first
How you'll use the space, the sightlines from inside the house, and how people move from one area to the next.
- 02
Hardscape & softscape together
Patios, walls, and paths are planned with the beds and plantings around them, so nothing feels like an afterthought.
- 03
Phasing
Build it all at once or in stages to fit your budget. We can plan the full vision and help you prioritize what comes first.
- 04
Site conditions
Grade, drainage, and existing features are part of the plan from the start.
- 05
Finish detail
Edging, rock, final grading, and a clean site at the end. The details are what make a landscape look finished.

Custom installation options & ideas
Every custom project is different, but most fall into a few broad directions:
Planning ahead
Spring is the busiest season for installations. Winter is a good time to plan and request your estimate.
The attention to detail was beyond what we expected.
A homeowner's story
Andrea wasn't sure what she wanted for her backyard. We developed a landscape design, recommended plants, and helped shape her ideas into a plan. The finished space became one she loves, and the neighbors noticed. What she remembers most is the communication, the professionalism, the attention to detail, and how clean the site was when we finished.

Yes. We develop the design and recommendations and then build it.
Can we do the project in phases?
