large pondless waterfall:
This waterfall is about 18 feet tall with the top cascade being about 3 feet wide. Each of the moss boulders used the waterfall weighs between 1,000 - 2,000 + pounds.

herb garden wall:
We built this wall to accommodate an herb garden the homeowner was going to plant. It is built to look like it has been there for years, so we used tumbled stone in a random pattern.

tumbled stone wall:
A closer view of the wall shows 2 Pink Double Knock Out Roses with trellis’ behind them. Each stone was carefully placed with the goal of not wasting any stones and adding many interesting designs.

night waterfall:
This is a picture of the large pondless waterfall at night. What a difference some low voltage lights can do to highlight the water and boulders.

night path:
This is a pathway through a xeric  prairie garden. The beautiful thing about this is that it was taken in January! Landscaping can be interesting all day and all year if done right.

bench at night:
This was taken of a nice sitting area in a xeric prairie garden. This is in the middle of January and it is still very interesting to look at, even at night.

ashlar wall:
The stone used here was the same stone used to build the amphitheater in Lions Park. We hand chiseled and placed each stone. It is very strong too. Notice the moss boulders sitting right on top. This is 1 of 3 walls in the back yard.

prairie golf:
Golf in a landscape? Why not. The homeowner is a huge fan of golf and wanted us to build him a fun little golf course. The course has 3 tee boxes, 2 sand traps, and 1 golf ball cleaner.

piece of paradise:
This is a small yard in the avenues that we transformed from just grass and mud into a piece of paradise. A small waterfall and pond is just outside a bedroom. This yard also has 2 Flagstone patios, a path, a grass area and over 50 shrubs and perennials.

large pondless:
This waterfall could have been taken right out of the mountains and put into this yard. It wasn’t ,because that would be wrong. We built it using large moss boulders, river rock, a 10,000 gallon per hour pump, and some imagination.

flowers and waterfall:
This shows some yellow Yarrow, Wild Shrub Rose, Blue Gramma Grass, and Karl Forster with a nice waterfall and stream for sound and movement.

natural pond and stream:
We built this waterfall is in a back yard north of 4 mile rd in the prairie. All the trees and flowers were planted to make it look like the mountains. Also, the fallen tree and stump were brought in, and made to look like a beaver chewed the tree and it fell across the pond and waterfall.

inviting lighting:
Lighting in the front garden and entryway make the home safer and more inviting. The old lamp on by the steps was 110 volts originally, but we pulled out the old wires, and retrofitted it with new low voltage components. This makes it blend in with the other low voltage lights, and makes it more energy efficient.

clean and simple:
Sometimes making things clean and simple is the best option. It makes the yard and home more valuable without having to spend a lot of money.

detailed arbor:
We built this arbor out of cedar and redwood. All the posts and supports are carefully hand distressed. We beat the wood up, shaved parts off, chiseled it, cut it, sanded it and stained it to achieve this look.

circle patio:
A large patio serves as dining and entertaining area while adding interest in the landscape. The circle stepping stones are custom built to match the design and landing area from the deck.

commercial rock garden:
This is a burst of color at a busy intersection. Many people think businesses need boring landscaping with only some grass and trees. This landscape is very low maintenance, low water use, and very interesting in design and color.

square fountain:
A disappearing water fountain can be built anywhere in a landscape. It doesn’t use up a lot of space, has soothing sounds, adds movement to the landscape and is more affordable the larger ponds or waterfalls.

tropic container:
What a burst of color and interest! A professionally designed and planted container garden can add beauty to any landscape, porch, or business.

container garden:
Container gardens ,such as this one, add color, interest, and value. They are the new low maintenance, affordable hot item!

timber stairs:
Steep slopes are made useful by building a staircase. This one is built from 6 x 6 treated timbers. Not only are they useful and safe, they add interest in the landscape.

small garden:
This small garden was once a flat boring area between 2 driveways. By adding a small rock garden the area now provides privacy, interest, fragrance, and year round color.

raised garden:
A boring front yard can be easily transformed into something you can be proud of. We dry stacked Siloam stone to make a planting area with a moss boulder for a bench to sit on.

xeriscaping:
This is what Xeriscaping means. It is not just boring rock. It can be incredibly beautiful, low water use, low maintenance. It just takes planning ahead and common sense with a little imagination.

front brick patio:
We created a private sitting area in the front yard by building a brick patio and surrounding it with trees and perennials.

curved brick patio:
This brick patio adds space for entertaining and a beautiful focal point where the new flowers are planted. A lot of attention to detail.
