    • Custom landscape design & installation: plants, beds, turf, native species
    • Hardscape work: paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor living features

  • What is the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?

    Landscaping involves living elements: lawns, plants, shrubs, trees, etc.


    Hardscaping uses non-living materials: stone, concrete, pavers, walls, patios.

    Together, they create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces that withstand the local conditions.

  • Can you design landscapes that handle coastal weather & salt air?

    Absolutely. We use salt-tolerant plants, durable materials, and smart grading & drainage techniques to protect your landscape from storms, wind, and salt spray, all while keeping it aesthetically pleasing.


  • How long does a project typically take?

    Smaller projects (walkways, lighting, minor upgrades) may take a few days. Larger jobs with design, hardscaping, and full yard renovations may take several weeks, depending on complexity and materials.

  • Do you provide color renderings or 3D designs before construction?

    Yes, for most larger projects, we offer visual plans so you can see how your landscape or hardscape will look before we begin.

  • What materials and pavers do you use?

    We use high-quality, weather-resistant materials appropriate for the Gulf Coast region. This includes porcelain, natural stone, concrete pavers, and custom cut stone for durability, beauty, and long-term performance.

  • How do you handle drainage, standing water, or flooding concerns?

    We integrate proper site grading, French drains, channel drains, and catch basins to control water flow. For sloped properties, retaining walls and proper elevation are critical to prevent erosion or pooling.


  • Can you add lighting, fire features, or water features as part of the design?

    Yes, we specialize in integrated outdoor living designs, including fire pits, water features, fountains, outdoor kitchens, and accent lighting to elevate your space and make it usable both day and night.
