Awards and What Others Say

Interior Landscaping Interior landscaping can make the difference between a space that simply exists and a place that is full of life and activity ‐ sustaining the human spirit.

Interior Color Programs Strong artistic accents of color in your offices and lobbies attract attention and give your business and your employees a brighter outlook.

Landscaping and Landscape Maintenance

Creating and Maintaining … memorable places

Say “welcome” to your visitors, create your own memorable place. Landscapes are not merely for decoration, but to connect people with plants and stimulate their sense of well‐ being.

Landscape Color Programs Adding colorful, blooming plants and seasonal plantings enhances your building’s exterior landscape. It might seem obvious, but for a landscape to be relevant and capture the viewer’s attention it must stimulate their senses.

Holiday Décor Bring the spirit of the season to your offices, mall, hotel and building. From live blooming plants to custom crea‐ tions...together let our imagi‐ nations soar and weʹll do the work, beautifully.

Greenwalls and Green Roofs

These environmentally friendly products are sustainable building solutions

that provide bio‐air filtration, acoustical separation, striking aesthetics and strong visual support of corporate green strategies. And even though green walls arenʹt well known in the U.S., their potential benefit to sustainable projects is significant. Our Greenwalls™ Vertical Planting System is carefully thought‐out and based on seventeen years of on‐site proven experience.

Site Specific Furniture From benches to bridges, tree grates to trellises, planters to pedestals, custom fabricated pieces give your project its own unique identity.

Special Projects: Water Features & Sculpture There are times when we are asked to stretch ourselves and create something well beyond the ordinary interiorscape or landscape. We relish those opportunities to do something extraordinary. To our clients of vision and courage... we are always excited at the possibilities. Thank you.
