About
If you are looking for a colorful landscape, I'm your girl. I pick interesting plants that you simply don't see everywhere. I like green but it is never the focus of my jobs. You will only find color. My tagline is "Where color counts!"
I love what I do. it doesn't matter if it's moving mud or planting. I build fences, decks, and structures incidental to a landscape. Ponds, too! This is a fun job, and I love doing it. Irrigation is the thinking part, and I'm pretty good at it!
Interested in a landscape that's fun and different? Give me a call, text, or email. Love to talk to you about your project!

The job has not been completed as yet. I met with Sue and we went over everything I wanted to have done. She gave me some good suggestions and listened to my needs. She is starting the job next week

Dumbfounding that Sue came to my home March 14th and spend many hours with me to be able to bid a $10,000+ project that required very detailed matching of a retaining wall. Unfortunately, after 75 days and the coronavirus pandemic she could not find the matching wall blocks, apparently. So, had to go with the two other bids from Bella Turf and Santini Landscaping that COULD find matching wall blocks. Sue is a nice person and a plethora of knowledge on planting plants for the region and might be okay if, you have a clean slate backyard to start with. Not recommended for complex and/or engineering related projects.
Details: Complete renovation of current landscape (e.g. replace soil, hardscape services) • Walkway • Patio • Retaining wall • Back yard • No, one-time project • Home

Its unfortunate that this happeneds. I did go to the manufacturer of the retaining wall block and pavers and they did not help. I hope one of these other LARGE landscapers can find the right size block for Kyle.
