About working in Milton
Milton has a lot of older homes on lots with mature, established trees. Big trees are why people buy these properties and they are also why the fall cleanup here is a bigger job than the lot size suggests. Mature landscapes also reach a point where the plantings need renovation and the hardscape needs resetting, which is different work from installing something new and needs someone who will work with what is there rather than clear it.
Landscape Design services in Milton
Full design, done by Keith
Every design on this company comes from Keith. He walks the property, works out what it can actually support, and draws the plan, so there is no gap between the person who sold you the idea and the person responsible for it working.
Landscaping and planting
The core of it. Beds cleaned out, cut back, and re-edged, then planted with material sized for the space it actually has to grow into rather than the space it fills on install day.
Drainage systems
If the yard stays soggy after rain, or water is finding the basement or crawl space, that is a grading and drainage problem and no amount of planting fixes it. We look at your slope, your soil type, and how close the problem is to the house, then design a system to move the water somewhere it cannot hurt anything.
Water features and ponds
Ponds, fountains, streams, and waterfalls, from a small garden feature outside a kitchen window up to the entrance planting for a neighborhood or a commercial property. We build them and we maintain them, which matters, because a water feature nobody services turns into a problem within two seasons..
Synthetic grass and synthetic turf
An option worth knowing about for the spots where real grass keeps losing: deep shade, heavy traffic, pool surrounds, and play or sport areas. It stays green year round with no watering and no mowing, and because it offers nothing for grubs to eat you stop dealing with turf pests in that area.
