Nursery Stock

 

Our nursery stock is field grown and then transferred to our 4 acre sales area. By taking this extra step, we can monitor the plant material during that stressful period following its initial root pruning.

and irrigation tape.

 

The black plastic irrigation tape will provide water

to the root zone of the plants. This saves water and

reduces water-related damage to the foliage.

 

 

Landscaping

We also provide professional landscape planning and installation. We can provide on-site consultation for specific problems or come in for an in-house walk through to see what plant materials you should consider for your own, personal landscape.

 

 

 

 

We also can build walks, walls,

and

other outdoor structures.
