Water, Weeds & Critters

Is your landscaping overrun with water, weeds or critters? There's a landscaping app for that! Here's a look at two of our recently completed projects that addressed these very issues.

Drainage was a problem for this project. To correct the issue we brought up the grade around the cabin to direct water away from the dwelling. We added drain stone and installed a French drain. The new owner wanted to clean up the existing flower beds (overrun with weeds) but also wanted to retain a casual, woodsy appearance. "Nothing fancy" he said. We were able to salvage many of the perennials found on site. We dug them out & removed the weeds that were choking them by hand. Many were split and/or moved. The owner was happy with the results and no new plants were purchased.

Critters were the issue for our next project. We installed this fence to protect the owner's berry patch from the deer. A blueberry and gooseberry patch. Yum! And, we enjoyed another beautiful view of Torch Lake from this job site!

When it comes to garden pests - insect, birds, deer and raccoon usually come to mind. But occasionally you find an unexpected critter robbing your berry patch!

And that's ok. Gardens are meant to be shared!
