A Northwest Bayside Retreat: Retaining Walls & Paver Patio

A Project of Firsts
We wrapped up this landscaping project in the nick of time. On the very day we closed for our holiday break, we completed our final tasks on this landscape designed by Landscape Designer and CPH, Megan Pulkkinen. We defined the edges between the beds and gravel...
A Modern Northwest Cottage Garden
This Modern Northwest Cottage Garden in Sequim was designed by landscape architect Emily Russell. Sequim is not an area that we typically service due to the commute and unpredictable bridge openings. If this project had come to us any other way than through our good...
A Northwest Beach Garden
This Port Orchard landscape was designed by Emily Russell Landscape Architecture. These photos were taken one year after installation. With an outdoor space like this one, sheltering in place doesn't seem so bad! --- Thanks for reading our blog. Northwest...
Working in times of COVID-19
Being a landscaping company in Kitsap County - where COVID cases are relatively low - it's fairly easy to work safely. Of course, there are guidelines put forth by the Governor's office specifically defining what it means to work safely. Colby and I are rule followers...
A message from Colby regarding COVID-19
I hope all of you are doing well right now despite these very strange times. It’s easy to get lost in the panic and fear – both warranted emotions. Some of you are concerned about pre-existing conditions that may not interact well with this virus, in the still - at...
2009 – 2019 Celebrating 10 Years in Business!
The end of this decade marks the end of our first decade in business. That’s right. 10 WHOLE YEARS in business. As the saying goes, time flies. I can still remember the rush I’d get from early successes, like landing our first apartment complex to maintain (the...
Outdoor Seating Area
It's only February, but we're already longing for afternoons spent lounging outside on an outdoor seating area, book in hand. If you're dreaming of the perfect outdoor space and this is the year to make it happen, this project will help you visualize. Temperatures may...
GIE + Expo 2018 – Our Industry’s Biggest Trade Show

4 Benefits of an Automatic Irrigation System
One of the most time-consuming aspects of maintaining a healthy landscape is having to water it by hand. What starts out as a pleasurable outdoor task can quickly begin to feel like a dreaded chore, especially if you have stretches of lawn or a lot of garden beds....
Our story in the Kitsap Sun
Every person, every place, every business has a story. We haven't yet shared our story in writing, in part because it's still unfolding. As we approach the ten-year mark of our doors being open for business, it's time for us to look back, look inward, and do the work...
Elite Crete Interior Concrete
It’s been a very, very busy 3 months since our last blog post in July. On a personal level, we’re moving house! We’re feeling stretched to the max, getting our new space ready while still minding the details involved with taking care of our clients, yet we’re...
Brown Spots in Lawn
Wondering what's up with the brown spots in your lawn? Even if your lawn has irrigation, it’s common to see brown spots this time of year. They occur for a number of reasons. Here are some examples we’ve encountered at maintenance clients' sites over these hot and...
Our Backyard Refuge
Colby and I have been living in our home together since fall of 2010, about a year before we got married. It’s almost embarrassing to admit that we - two people who own a landscaping company - just finished landscaping around our home last month. I use the word...
Community Service Day
This was our second time volunteering our time and labor at Chico Salmon Park in Bremerton. Just like last year, we had a great time! An added bonus was being fed homemade cookies made by one of the park's regular volunteers. We constructed a small split rail fence,...

2016 was a very good year for us thanks to our clients, our skilled and growing team, and an improved economy. As the year comes to an end, we’re feeling a little nostalgic about all the great moments that marked 2016, and want to share some of them them here with...
New Commercial Landscape Maintenance Sites in Poulsbo

UW Pro Master Pruning Series
The ability to correctly prune shrubs and decorative trees at the right time of year is a landscape maintenance practice that distinguishes the skilled from the unskilled, the professional with a pair of hand pruners from the hack with a set of shears. The desire for...

To Rake, or Not to Rake?
There's a great leaf debate happening. One side says that fallen leaves left alone become important habitat for butterflies, salamanders, earthworms and other creatures that are important to our ecosystem. The other side makes the case that matted leaves shade and...
