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.

About this service
Rocks for landscaping are typically used to prevent soil erosion or add visual interest to garden beds. You should look for them if you want a permanent ground cover that suppresses weeds and holds moisture in the soil. Pricing is usually based on the weight and type of rock selected for your specific area. We can assist with your selection; 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.
