What affects the price
When you get a quote for landscaping, the final number depends on a few moving parts. The total square footage of your yard is the biggest factor, followed by the specific types of plants, hardscaping materials, or irrigation systems you choose. If your property requires significant grading, clearing away heavy debris, or accessibility challenges for our equipment, those tasks add labor hours. We also consider how much ongoing maintenance the design requires. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
River rock landscaping uses smooth, rounded stones, typically gathered from riverbeds, to create natural-looking ground cover or drainage solutions. These rocks are excellent for areas prone to water runoff or for creating dry creek beds. You should use them if you want a low-maintenance, polished appearance that handles heavy rain well. Costs move up or down based on the quantity and transport distance; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
During the heat of summer, our focus shifts to hydration and lawn health. We monitor irrigation timers to ensure plants aren't stressed by the sun, and we keep up with routine mowing to prevent weeds from taking over. If your yard needs a quick color boost, we can install heat-tolerant annuals that stay bright even during July and August.
