Hardy Designs for Rural Estates
In Three Oaks, landscaping often needs to bridge the gap between manicured lawns and the natural woodland edge. We believe in "Right Plant, Right Place." We amend the local soil with organic compost to give new plantings a head start, but we choose varieties that can thrive in the local climate without constant babying.
Whether you need softscapes to soften the edges of a new paver patio or a full privacy screen to block a road, we approach the design with longevity in mind. We are careful to plan for mature growth—ensuring that the cute sapling we plant today doesn't become the giant tree that heaves your foundation ten years from now. Our compact equipment allows us to execute these projects quickly and cleanly, leaving you with a lush, thriving landscape that enhances your home’s rural character.
