About this service
Landscape timbers are large, treated wooden beams used to build raised garden beds, retaining walls, or steps. These are a good choice if you have a sloped yard that needs structure or if you want to define specific planting zones. The price typically fluctuates based on the height of your walls and the amount of wood needed for your design. We make sure they are anchored properly for stability. 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.
