Our
Services
From hardscaping to grading to outdoor living spaces, we handle every phase of your project — ideation, construction, and finishing touches
Hardscape
Softscape & Lawns
Walkways
Patios
Water Features
When construction is complete, we'll walk through the finished space together. We don't consider a project done until you're completely satisfied with the results – and confident in how to care for and enjoy your new outdoor space.
Final Walkthrough & Handoff
Our team gets to work bringing your outdoor space to life, and Peter oversees every phase personally. We keep you updated on project progress, addressing questions, and ensuring the project stays on track.
Construction & Communication
We'll discuss your vision, budget, and timeline, then schedule a site visit to walk your property. During this visit, Peter assesses the space, learns about your goals, and identifies any site-specific factors. He'll also share recommendations based on his experience to help bring your vision to life.
Consultation & Site Visit
Our Process
After the site visit, we'll prepare a comprehensive proposal that outlines every aspect of the project – from materials to timeline to cost. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Detailed Project Proposal
Once the proposal has been approved, we'll finalize the contract and lock in your timeline. You'll know exactly when work begins and what to expect throughout the build.

I cannot say enough good things about Peter Butler. He is personally involved in every step of the installation process. He took my landscape design plan, embellished it, and made it even better! He went above and beyond at every step of the process to entertain design options, materials, and cost. Frankly, the final installation exceeded my expectations. If it were not for him, we would not have been ready for the wedding reception of my son. Peter will forever have my thanks!

We love our yard!! I'm not really sure what we envisioned but it turned out better than what I imagined. The patio seat wall Peter recommended was a great addition. It is so nice to walk into our main living area and look out and see the lovely yard and green grass! We've received a ton of compliments from friends who can't believe the transformation. I appreciate how very easy Peter was to work with. He made the whole process easy and even enjoyable.
