We also reused some plant materials that were already growing in the client’s yard. By relocating these plants, we not only brought more aesthetic unity to the garden, but also found sunnier locations for those that needed it. Replacing grass with ground cover, perennials, and shrubs was a great way to transform the lawn into a low-maintenance garden, reducing the need for regular watering and, of course, mowing.

Our crews then installed an irregular.

Our crews then installed an irregular bluestone patio to compliment the client’s new Japanese-style garden. The client chose this style patio in particular for its informal look and for the range of colors present in the stone.
