You are probably spending more time in your backyard than ever right now! I know that I am and I’ve noticed my neighbors working on their yard more than ever too. Being stuck at home means more yard time for playing, relaxing, and probably some backyard projects as well. While this national predicament has changed what all of us thought 2020 would bring, 2020 is not over and together we can make plans for your dream backyard to be realized sooner than you think!

Coronavirus Tips
OUR RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS:
To all of our friends and loyal customers. We wanted to keep you all in the loop as we try and navigate how to handle the Coronavirus.
We want to err on the side of caution. We want to be respectful of our team as well as the vulnerable persons in our community and so as of today our office team members will be working remotely for the next few days. As long as our on site crews are healthy and comfortable doing so, they will continue to work on our current projects. We are fortunate that the majority of our team works in an outdoor environment. That being said if your project is current, or upcoming we will probably be seeing some delays due to our current national predicament. Bryan will, if not already, be in contact with you regarding any changes from what has been communicated.

The User Experience of a Beautiful Landscape Design
As the saying goes, good design is 99% invisible.
It’s only when something is out of place that one notices its oddness. There’s actually an entire podcast devoted to this idea. It explores often overlooked aspects of design and states boldly on its homepage, “Design is everywhere in our lives, perhaps most importantly in the places where we’ve just stopped noticing.”
A Gift that Will Last Decades
Thanksgiving is over and the season of gift giving has begun. There are gift guides galore available. And the “it” toys of the season. But why not think outside of the box this holiday?
There is a push in families encouraging gifts of time and experiences instead of toys. Unfortunately toys don’t last forever and sometimes they really don’t hold kids interest past that day! Why not make the shopping list a little simpler and give the family something you can use together for decades to come? A well designed outdoor space is an investment in family time.
What the pets can and cannot eat this Thanksgiving
Who would we be if we forgot the pets this holiday? Do not feed them anything unsafe for them, that's not worth it. But there are foods they can have that are good for them!
You don’t have to break the rules, just put it right into their bowl, separate from your own meal time. That way you do not break the "we don't feed our dog table scraps so they don't beg" rule.
Can we still plant?
“Thom says” answers the questions we’ve been getting recently,
“CAN WE STILL PLANT?”
November is here and the holidays will soon be upon us! With our lives about to become very busy making preparations for eating lots of turkey soon to be followed by Christmas and holiday preparation our minds are beginning to shift focus from outside to inside! Before you officially shift your focus to eating lots of pie, we only have a short window left for planting for this year! So focus on the outside for just a few more weeks!
