Proper land shaping is the foundation of every successful landscape. We prepare your yard so water flows correctly, plants thrive, and your space looks clean and intentional.

If your yard is uneven, rocky, sloped, or improperly draining, we make it ready for planting and long-term success.

We install trees and shrubs that thrive in local soils and foothill weather patterns. Proper planting ensures your landscape takes root quickly and grows strong for years.

• Shade tree and privacy screen tree installation
• Shrub planting for borders, walkways, and garden beds
• Large plant installation for instant impact

Your new plants are installed using the proper techniques for root health, stability, and long-term health.

A reliable irrigation system protects your investment and keeps your landscape thriving through hot summers and unpredictable rainfall.

• Full sprinkler system installation

We design your system for optimal coverage, reduced water waste, and compatibility with foothill terrain.

Mulch and weed barrier help protect your landscape and reduce long-term maintenance.

• Weed barrier fabric for long-term weed prevention
• Bark, mulch, and wood chips for moisture retention
• Rock or gravel for decorative or low-maintenance yards
• Pre-mulch soil prepping and leveling

This finishing touch keeps your yard looking clean and polished—while improving soil health.

Healthy soil is the key to a thriving landscape—especially in the hard, rocky, clay-heavy soil common in the Sierra Foothills. Common soil solutions we provide are:

• Adding compost, topsoil, and organic amendments
• Breaking up compacted soil for deeper root growth
• Raising garden beds for improved drainage and soil texture
• Pre-plant soil amending for nutrient-rich planting areas

Healthy plants need healthy soil — especially in the Sierra foothills where many yards have compacted, depleted, or rocky soil. We prepare your soil so your plants grow stronger, healthier, and more drought-resistant.We improve your soil using:

• Compost
• Organic/Non-Orgainc fertilizers
• Gypsum
• Topsoil
• Custom blends based on plant type

This ensures deeper roots, healthier growth, and reduced water needs.
