Landscaping
Landscapes planted to look better every year
Planting plans for yards across Tennessee and Northeast Arkansas, built on your sun, soil and slope — structure first, with color layered in around it.
Structure first, then the color
A good planting starts with what the yard already has: how much sun reaches each bed, what the soil is like, and which way the ground falls. We work that out on the walk-through, then build the plan around the trees and shrubs that give the yard its bones. Seasonal color and texture fill in around them.
We plant for all four seasons. Flowering shrubs and trees carry the spring, perennials change through the summer, trees with fall color finish the year, and evergreens hold the shape of the yard through the winter, when everything else has gone quiet.
The plants come from sources suited to our region, so they settle in quickly and keep going. A new bed should look intentional the day it goes in and better by its third summer.
The job can be a full renovation of a property or a single new bed by the front walk. Either one gets the same walk-through, and Randy and Adam bring the same decades of combined, hands-on experience to it.
How it goes
From first walkthrough to finished landscape
-
Site walkthrough
Sun, drainage and how you actually use the yard, assessed before we draw anything.
-
Design and plant selection
A layered planting plan: structure, seasonal color and texture chosen to work together all year.
-
Installation and care
Careful planting, then clear aftercare guidance so the new landscape establishes well and keeps looking its best.
Answers
Landscaping: common questions
How much does landscaping cost?
Every landscaping job is priced after we walk the property, because the yard sets the cost. What moves it most: how much area is being planted, what has to come out first, the size of the trees and shrubs going in, and how much grading and soil work the beds need.
Is professional landscaping worth it?
It is when the plan is built around your sun, soil and slope. Plants chosen for the site establish faster and need less replacing, and a layout with trees and shrubs as its structure still looks intentional in February. We aim for a yard that looks good on day one and better by year three.
What should I plant for color in every season?
Plant for structure first, then color. Evergreens hold the yard together in winter, flowering shrubs and trees carry spring, perennials change through the summer, and trees with fall color finish the year. We layer those four so something is always happening in the beds.
Can you redo just one flower bed?
Yes. We take on a single new planting bed as gladly as a full landscape renovation. A small job still gets the same walk-through — sun, soil, drainage and how the bed is seen from the house — so the new bed fits the rest of the yard instead of standing apart from it.
How long does landscaping last?
A well-planted landscape should get better for years, not wear out. Shrubs and trees chosen for our region establish quickly and fill in, and evergreens keep their shape through the winter. What shortens a landscape’s life is the wrong plant for the spot, which is why the plan starts with your site.
