Comprehensive Landscaping Solutions
Comprehensive Landscape Design & Site Planning Every great project starts with a solid plan. Before a shovel hits the ground, our design team works with you to create a functional "Master Plan" that fits your budget and lifestyle. We don't just pick pretty plants; we perform a full site analysis to understand your soil conditions, sun exposure, and drainage needs.
Whether you need a simple planting sketch or a full-scale 3D conceptual rendering, we help you visualize the final result before construction begins. This process ensures that your hardscapes, irrigation, and plant choices all work together seamlessly for a low-maintenance, high-beauty yard.
Includes: On-site consultation, 2D/3D visualizations, material selection, and drought-tolerant planting plans.

Full-Service Landscape Construction & Installation We are a true "turnkey" landscape company, meaning we handle every phase of the construction process from start to finish. Our installation team specializes in transforming bare dirt or overgrown yards into polished outdoor living spaces.
Quality installation starts below the surface. We prioritize proper grading and soil amendment—breaking up the tough Southern Oregon clay and adding rich organics—to ensure your new sod and plants establish deep roots quickly. From demolition and hauling to the final layer of bark mulch, we keep the job site clean and organized.
Includes: Site demolition, finish grading, fresh sod/hydroseeding, tree & shrub planting, and soil preparation.

Smart Irrigation & Drainage Solutions In Southern Oregon’s dry climate, an efficient water system is the most important investment you can make for your landscape. We design and install smart irrigation systems that use weather data to save you money on water bills while keeping your plants thriving.
Beyond watering, we protect your home from water damage. Our team installs French drains, catch basins, and dry creek beds to manage runoff during the rainy season. From drip lines for flower beds to high-efficiency rotor heads for lawns, we ensure every drop is used effectively.
Services: Smart WiFi Controllers, Drip Irrigation, Valve Repair, Seasonal Winterization.

Landscape Lighting
Low-Voltage LED Landscape Lighting Extend the enjoyment of your outdoor space well into the evening with a professionally installed lighting system. We specialize in low-voltage LED lighting that is energy-efficient, long-lasting, and designed to highlight the best features of your home and garden.
Good lighting is about more than just visibility; it’s about ambiance and safety. We strategically place pathway lights to prevent trips on walkways, up-lights to showcase beautiful trees or architectural columns, and deck lighting for safe entertaining. Our systems come with automated timers or smart-phone controls so your home looks beautiful every night, automatically.
Applications: Path & walkway safety, architectural accenting, tree up-lighting, and patio ambiance.
Synthetic Turf Installs
Enjoy a perfectly manicured, emerald-green lawn 365 days a year—without ever starting a mower. We install high-quality synthetic turf that looks and feels like natural grass but requires zero watering, fertilizing, or weeding. It is the ultimate low-maintenance solution for Southern Oregon homeowners tired of fighting dry spots and mud.
Our installation process is rigorous. We build a crushed rock base for superior drainage, ensuring that rain (and pet urine) passes through instantly, preventing odors and puddles. Whether you need a rugged pet-friendly turf, a soft play area for kids, or a custom backyard putting green, our turf products are UV-stabilized to prevent fading in the summer sun.
Best For: Dog runs, shaded side yards, backyard putting greens, and low-maintenance rentals.
Custom Automatic Irrigation Design No two landscapes are the same, and neither are their water needs. We design custom automatic irrigation systems that are zoned specifically for your property’s layout. This means we separate your thirsty lawn areas from your drought-tolerant native plants, ensuring every zone gets exactly the water it needs—no more, no less.
Our systems feature programmable timers and automatic valves that handle the daily work for you. Whether you have a complex hillside garden or a large flat lawn, we install the right combination of high-efficiency rotors and precision spray heads to provide complete coverage without wasting water on sidewalks or driveways.
Best For: New construction, complex garden layouts, and homeowners who want a "set it and forget it" solution.
Custom-Auto Irrigation Systems
Professional Planting & Garden Bed Design Softscaping—the living part of your landscape—is what brings a yard to life. We specialize in designing and installing vibrant planting areas that add color, texture, and curb appeal to your property. From towering privacy trees to delicate perennial flower beds, we select the right plants for the right spot.
Success starts with the soil. Southern Oregon often has heavy clay or rocky ground, so we amend your planting beds with premium compost and organic material before planting. This ensures your trees, shrubs, and flowers have the nutrient-rich foundation they need to thrive year-round, not just for the first season.
Specialties: Deer-resistant gardens, privacy hedges, native Oregon plants, and seasonal flower beds.
Planting Areas
Custom Paver Patios & Flagstone Walkways Extend your living space outdoors with our high-end hardscaping services. Unlike poured concrete which cracks over time, our interlocking paver systems and natural flagstone pathways are designed to flex with the ground, offering superior durability and style.
We handle the entire installation process—from excavation and base preparation to the final application of polymeric sand. Whether you need a new driveway, a fire pit seating area, or a winding garden path, we design hardscapes that increase your property value and curb appeal in Medford and Ashland.
Applications: Outdoor Kitchens, Patios, Pool Decks, Driveways.
Styles: Modern Pavers, Rustic Slate, Travertine, Natural Stone.
Pavers & Flagstone
Transform your backyard into a tranquil retreat with the soothing sound of running water. We design and construct naturalistic water features that serve as the focal point of your landscape. Whether you want a dramatic cascading waterfall or a quiet, bubbling garden fountain, water adds a layer of peace and luxury to any outdoor space.
We specialize in "pondless" waterfalls—a popular choice for families because they offer the beauty of a stream without the safety risks or maintenance of a standing pool of water. For those wanting a complete ecosystem, we also install professional Koi ponds with high-efficiency filtration systems to keep your water crystal clear and your fish healthy.
Styles: Pondless waterfalls, bubbling boulders, Koi ponds, and decorative urn fountains.
Water Features
Transforming a sloped yard requires more than just stacking stones; it requires engineering and precision. We specialize in building durable retaining walls that maximize your usable yard space while solving critical drainage and erosion issues common in Southern Oregon.
Whether you prefer the clean look of segmental concrete blocks or the natural beauty of boulder and rock walls, our team ensures proper backfill and drainage behind every wall. This prevents failure during the wet season and guarantees your hardscape lasts for decades.
Materials: Natural Stone, Interlocking Block, Boulders.
Best For: Leveling hillsides, creating garden terracing, and preventing soil erosion.
Structural Retaining Walls & Erosion Control
You don’t have to sacrifice beauty to save water. We specialize in drought-tolerant landscape design (Xeriscaping) that is specifically tailored to thrive in Southern Oregon’s hot, dry summers. By replacing thirsty lawns with climate-appropriate plants, we help you significantly lower your monthly water bill while reducing maintenance.
A water-wise yard doesn't mean just rocks and cactus. We design lush, colorful gardens using native Oregon plants, ornamental grasses, and Mediterranean species (like lavender and sage) that require minimal irrigation once established. Combined with deep mulching to retain soil moisture, your landscape will stay resilient and vibrant even during water restrictions.
Benefits: Lower water utility bills, reduced mowing, sustainable ecology, and year-round color.
Drought-Resistant Landscaping
Nothing beats the look and feel of a lush, cool-green lawn. We specialize in installing high-quality sod and seeded lawns that are chosen specifically for the Southern Oregon climate. We typically use resilient Fescue and Rye blends that stay green longer and resist the summer heat better than generic hardware store seed.
A great lawn starts with the dirt. We never just lay sod over hard clay. Our process involves rototilling and amending the soil with rich organics to ensure deep root growth and proper drainage. Whether you need a small patch of green for a courtyard or a sprawling lawn for a large estate, we grade the land perfectly level for a smooth, bump-free finish.
Options: Instant Sod Installation, Hydroseeding, Soil Amendment, and Lawn Renovation.
Ornamental Lawn Installation
Control runoff and erosion naturally with a feature that looks beautiful wet or dry. Dry creek beds are essentially "hidden" drainage channels lined with river rock and boulders. They are designed to capture stormwater runoff from downspouts or slopes and guide it safely away from your home, mimicking the look of a natural mountain stream.
Unlike buried pipes which are purely functional, a dry creek bed adds immediate visual structure to your yard. We artfully arrange varied sizes of local river cobble and accent boulders to create a rugged, organic look. It serves as a stunning focal point during the summer and a critical drainage swale during the rainy season.
Benefits: Natural erosion control, visual interest for large yards, and sustainable stormwater management.
Dry Creek Beds
Extend your outdoor living season well into the autumn with a custom-built fire feature. There is nothing quite like gathering around a warm fire on a cool Southern Oregon evening. We design and install stunning outdoor fireplaces and fire pits that serve as the ultimate centerpiece for your patio or backyard.
We offer both wood-burning and gas options. If you love the crackle and smell of a campfire, we build safe, masonry wood pits with proper airflow. For those who prefer convenience, we install propane or natural gas fire pits that light with the push of a button—no smoke, no sparks, just instant warmth. We finish every project with high-quality stone veneer or pavers to match your existing hardscape.
Styles: Rustic stone fireplaces, modern concrete fire bowls, and built-in paver fire pits with seating walls.
Outdoor Fireplaces
Decorative Rock & Boulder Installation Add permanent texture and contrast to your landscape with our custom rockscape services. We use local river rock, crushed granite, and decorative boulders to create visually striking ground covers that never need watering or mowing. Rockscaping is the perfect solution for areas where grass struggles to grow or for homeowners seeking a modern, clean aesthetic.
We don’t just dump rocks; we design with them. Our team expertly places large accent boulders to anchor your garden beds and uses varied sizes of river rock to create depth. We always install heavy-duty commercial-grade weed fabric underneath to ensure your rockscape remains low-maintenance and weed-free for years to come.
Applications: Xeriscaping, pool surrounds, dry river beds, and low-maintenance ground cover.
Rockscape
Standing water isn't just an annoyance; it is a threat to your home’s foundation and your plants' health. We specialize in designing custom landscape drainage solutions that move water away from your structures and low spots. If your yard turns into a swamp during the rainy season, a professionally installed French drain is often the best defense.
We don't just dig trenches; we engineer solutions. Our French drain systems use perforated pipe encased in washed gravel and wrapped in commercial-grade filter fabric. This prevents clogging from soil and roots, ensuring water flows freely for decades. We also handle downspout extensions to route roof water safely away from your house.
Solutions: Surface catch basins, subsurface French drains, downspout piping, and grading for positive flow.
French Drains

We believe great landscapes are built on craftsmanship and care. Our team uses only high-quality materials and equipment to deliver results that exceed expectations. Whether you’re updating a small garden or completing a full property transformation, we approach every project with precision and pride.
