A plan for what to keep, what to remove, and what to redo, before anything gets touched.

A landscape that’s overgrown, outdated, or just not working anymore doesn’t need to be torn out blind. We assess what’s salvageable, what’s causing the actual problems, and build a renovation plan around that.


What’s worth keeping. Mature trees or healthy plantings don’t always need to go just because the rest of the yard does.
What's really causing the problem. Drainage, soil, or grading issues often explain why a landscape declined in the first place.
Licensed and insured. Ask us for proof. Ask everyone you’re considering.
A phased plan if needed. Not every renovation has to happen in one season.

Renovation design often incorporates planting plan design and hardscape design depending on the scope.

Tearing out an overgrown or failing landscape without assessing why it failed usually means repeating the same mistake.
What gets repeated:
Removing plants without addressing the drainage or soil issue that killed them in the first place
Replanting in the same problem areas without fixing the underlying cause
Losing mature trees or plantings that could have been preserved with the right plan
A renovation that looks better for a season and declines again for the same reasons as before
How we build: Which is why a renovation starts with working out why the last one failed. Usually it's drainage, soil, or grading rather than the plants themselves. Fix the cause first, keep the mature plantings worth keeping, and the renovation holds instead of repeating the same decline on a five-year cycle.
We walk the property, assess what’s there, and put together a renovation plan that addresses the real cause of the problem, not just its symptoms. You get a quote before anything moves to construction.
