Our Landscaping Services
Landscape installation: planning and planting new beds, borders, and foundation plantings.
Shrubs, trees, and perennials: choosing plants that suit your yard's sun, soil, and style, and that hold up in upstate winters.
Grading: reshaping the ground so water drains away from your house, patio, and walkways.
Bed edging and mulch: clean, defined edges and fresh mulch for a tidy, finished look.
Planting around hardscapes: softening the edges of patios, walls, steps, and walkways.
Yard renovations: pulling out overgrown or tired plantings and starting fresh.
Landscaping and Hardscaping, Together
Many landscapers only plant, and many hardscapers only build. We do both, which makes a big difference. When the same crew plans the patio and the plantings, the grading, drainage, and layout all work together. Beds get placed where they make sense, water gets directed away from your hardscape, and you don't have to coordinate two different contractors.
That also means we think about the whole yard, not just one corner of it. A retaining wall can create a flat area for a lawn or garden. A walkway can connect the driveway to a backyard patio, lined with plantings. A fire pit area can be framed with shrubs for a bit of privacy.
Good Drainage Comes First
In Saratoga County, water is the main thing that causes trouble in a yard: soggy lawns, washed-out beds, wet basements, and patios that heave over time. Before we plant, we look at how water moves across your property. Sometimes a little regrading solves the problem. Other times it takes a combination of grading, a wall, or adjusted beds. Getting this right protects both your plants and your hardscape.

Landscaping FAQ
How much does landscaping cost?
It varies a lot with the size of the area, the number and size of plants, how much grading or soil prep is needed, and whether hardscaping is part of the project. We'll give you a free estimate based on your yard and your goals, and we can suggest ways to phase a bigger plan.
Do I need a permit for landscaping work?
Most planting and bed work doesn't need a permit. Significant grading, work near wetlands or waterways, or projects that include taller retaining walls or structures may. Some neighborhoods also have HOA guidelines. Check with your town and HOA, and we'll help with any details they request.
What plants do well here?
Plants that can handle cold winters, freeze-thaw, and the light and soil in your specific yard. We'll recommend options that fit your conditions and the amount of upkeep you want.
Can you fix drainage problems in my yard?
In many cases, yes. Grading, bed placement, and sometimes a retaining wall can move water away from the house and hardscape. We'll look at the site and tell you honestly what we think will work.
Can you add landscaping around an existing patio?
Absolutely. We can plant around patios, walls, and walkways, whether we built them or not.
