What affects the price

Landscaping costs depend on the specific needs of your property. Factors include the total square footage, the complexity of the design, and the types of materials—like stone versus mulch—you choose. If your yard requires grading, drainage improvements, or clearing out heavy debris, that adds labor time. Ongoing maintenance plans also fluctuate based on how often you want crews on-site and the size of your lawn. We don't guess numbers over text; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Pea gravel is a small, smooth stone often used to create a soft, permeable surface for patios or garden paths. It offers a clean, textured look that works well in informal garden settings. You would typically use this when you need a cost-effective, easy-to-install material that allows water to drain into the ground. Installation involves clearing the site and adding a landscape fabric base. Costs are generally determined by square footage. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Fall is critical for lawn recovery. We provide leaf removal, aeration, and overseeding to strengthen your grass before the cold sets in. This is also the time to plant bulbs and perennials so they establish roots before the ground freezes. Preparing your yard now saves significant work once the weather warms up again. Let us handle the heavy cleanup so you can enjoy the season.
