Layered planting beds of shrubs and perennials along a stone path

Planting beds, trees, sod and landscape lights

New beds, trees, shrubs and sod, plus warm low-voltage lights, all with a 1-year plant guarantee.

What are we building?

Takes a minute. A designer comes to you.

Plants die in clay for one main reason: they get set in a narrow, deep hole that fills with water like a cup. We dig wide and shallow, loosen the sides, plant a touch high and mulch. Then we choose plants that handle wet springs and dry Augusts, mixing evergreens for winter shape with perennials for color.

Lights get planned with the beds, not added later. A few warm fixtures aimed at trunks, steps and walls do more than a row of path stakes. Planting and lighting projects usually run $8,000–$35,000.

01

Walk the yard

A designer spends about an hour on site with you, checking grades, soil, sun and where the water runs, and hearing how you want to use the space. The first visit is free.

About an hourNo charge

Plan at your table

Right there at your table, the designer sketches the layout to scale, then comes back with a material board of real stone, brick and plant picks you can hold.

Fixed price

We adjust the plan until it fits how you live and what you want to spend, then send one fixed price that lists every material and quantity.

Build and hand-over

One crew lead runs the job from first stake to last plant, and a photo update lands in your inbox every Friday. Hardscape is covered for 5 years, plants for 1.

Our back lawn used to drain like a bathtub. Thornbury fixed the grade first, then laid the terrace and new sod, and it matches the plan we signed off on at our own table. Same crew every morning, and they swept up before they left.

Nobody could use our hillside. Graham sketched a terrace and a low wall right there on the patio, Luis ran the job, and the photos came every Friday. Three weeks later we were sitting around the fire.

Planting and lighting questions

What season should we plant in?

October through early December gives roots a cool, wet head start. Spring works too, as long as you keep up with watering through the first summer.

What kind of fixtures do you use?

Brass or copper fixtures with warm LED lamps. They outlast aluminum and the bulbs draw very little power.
