Watch a yard come together From bare dirt to a finished yard

  1. 01

    Plan it

    We start with a plan drawn in-house: beds, walks, the patio and where every plant goes.

  2. 02

    Grade and lay out

    The lot is graded so water runs away from the house, then the plan is marked out on the ground.

  3. 03

    Build the hardscape

    Driveway, front walk, patio, fire pit, pergola and fence go in before anything is planted.

  4. 04

    Run the irrigation

    Lines are trenched to each zone, and every head is tested before beds and sod cover them.

  5. 05

    Plant

    Trees, shrubs, grasses and seasonal color go into mulched beds, set out to the plan.

  6. 06

    Lay the sod

    Fresh sod is rolled out strip by strip, then watered in until the seams disappear.

  7. 07

    Light it up

    Path lights and uplights come on at dusk, and the yard is ready to enjoy.

How much does landscaping cost in Columbia, TN?

It depends on the size of the property and the scope of work. We provide a free on-site estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.

How long does a landscape installation take?

Most residential projects take two to four weeks from start to finish. Larger properties or phased projects may take longer depending on weather and material lead times.

Do you handle both the design and the installation?

Both. We design in-house and install with our own crew. The person who draws up the plan works directly with the team building it.

Do you install and repair sprinkler systems?

Yes. We design and install new irrigation systems and handle repairs, spring start-ups and winterization. Our certified technicians also test backflow prevention devices.

Can you fix standing water and drainage problems in my yard?

Yes. We solve drainage problems with French drains, curtain drains, drain tile, downspout tie-ins and grading, so water moves away from your home and lawn.

Do I need to be home during the installation?

No. As long as we have access to the property and water, our crew can work while you are away. We communicate progress and flag anything that needs a decision.

Will you work with my existing landscaping?

We work with what you have whenever it makes sense. If existing plants or hardscape features are in good shape, we design around them.

Do you offer maintenance after installation?

Yes. We offer ongoing property maintenance including lawn care, seasonal cleanups, turf treatments and landscape bed maintenance.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. We maintain commercial, industrial and residential properties, from lawn and landscape maintenance to seasonal flower displays and mulching.

Can you test my irrigation backflow device?

Yes. Our certified technicians test backflow prevention devices to local regulations and industry standards, so your system stays compliant.
