"CONTINUING THE JAPANESE AMERICAN TRADITION"

Groundworks continues the Japanese gardening tradition by creating memorable impressions in gardening and delivering on work we can stand behind.

Landscape Services Overview

A lot of people tend to think that landscaping just involves planting some grass and picking out some pretty flowers.  At Groundworks we know landscaping involves much more than just digging a hole and popping in a plant.  We hope that the information presented here will give you a few tips to keep in mind as you create a beautiful garden.

From beginning to end, the creation of a garden involves multiple steps. It is important to constantly keep in mind all of these landscaping steps when creating a garden, otherwise designs could be flawed or even worse, the longevity of the garden could be hampered. One of the most common mistakes that we see in landscape layouts are the plants are generally planted to close together or to close to a structure. Especially with trees. Think about how the tree will grow in eight to ten years.  Equally as important is your choice in contractor. When selecting a contractor, make sure to get references as well as look into their past work. If it’s possible, talk to past clients and see what they think of the contractors work.  It is also vital that a written and signed contract is put in place. This contract spells out what you are paying the contractor to create so both sides are aware of what will be done. Remember contractor come in all shapes and sizes. Some with specialty skills and some with general skills. When looking to hire a contractor make sure they have done work that you like. That can be a great starting point.

Groundworks takes great care in the process of building a pleasing garden, we like to say that we delivery our white glove service to our clients by walking you through the process of constructing a landscape project. We are there to make sure the job gets done and goes smoothly from the very beginning.  The creation of a professional garden needs to include and consider the design - the end results of how the garden will look and function, the grading - the flow and drainage from the property, the soil prep - making sure the soil has lot of nutrition for the plants, the irrigation - distribution of water pressure and watering plants by type, the planting - making sure the spacing and zoning are correct. The idea of planting a tree and turning it 10 degrees to get the perfect limb direction for decades of growth, and even low voltage lighting - to bring alive the garden at night. Groundworks is a reputable and qualified professional landscaping company that only uses quality materials and builds to code, ensuring a high level of craftsmanship within the company. During the contract writing process, we will take you step by step to make sure it includes everything you expect.

Gardening Services Overview

  • Industry studies have shown that during the lifetime of a professionally designed, installed and maintained garden, 80% of the cost will be in the maintenance.  Many times, we experience clients who have invested tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in their garden just to have their trusty gardener mow and blow their garden back into a malnourished and improperly maintained property.

Tree Care Services Overview

  • Proper tree care is not only important for the health of the tree but should be considered an investment to the property. Tree trimming when done right will promote healthy growth and allow the tree to grow as directed by the way in which the tree trimming is done. Tree trimming is also consider very dangerous work. Skilled technician must know how to handle large and sharp tools, proper rope climbing techniques, handling large and heavy limbs, and protecting the property
    from damage.
