Services
Living Earth works across landscape construction, renovation, repair, water management, carpentry, hardscape, planting, irrigation, and site improvement.
Many projects overlap more than one trade, so the goal is not to force every job into a narrow category. It is to understand the property, define the work clearly, and build or repair what makes sense.
New ponds, pond renovations, rebuilds, pondless waterfalls and creeks, filtration, circulation, water-quality improvement, seasonal maintenance, and full cleanouts. Living Earth works with both new and established systems, with particular emphasis on keeping ponds functional, maintainable, and enjoyable over time.
Decks, stairs, railings, fences, gates, sheds, small outdoor structures, repairs, rebuilds, and custom site-specific work. Projects may involve new construction, selective repair, complete replacement, or creative solutions that do not fit a standard category.
Patios, walkways, entries, retaining walls, stonework, driveways, masonry repair, grading transitions, and hardscape renovation. Good hardscape should organize movement, grade, access, planting, and the relationship between the house and the larger property—not simply add more surface area.
New planting, mature landscape renovation, screening, soil improvement, lawn transitions, irrigation integration, and phased property improvement. Living Earth designs and installs landscapes with mature size, long-term maintenance, foliage, texture, and the larger site relationship in mind.
Downspout piping, catch basins, French drains, dry wells, swales, rain gardens, sump-pump discharge, ditch work, drainage correction, and site-water planning. The goal is to understand where the water is coming from, where it should go, and how to move or manage it without creating a new problem somewhere else.
A drainage problem may affect hardscape. A deck may change access. Planting may depend on irrigation, grading, or retaining. A pond combines water, equipment, stonework, planting, and maintenance.
Living Earth approaches those relationships as one connected property system.
New irrigation, repairs, controller updates, drip systems, sprinkler adjustments, zoning changes, troubleshooting, and irrigation integration during landscape renovation. The focus is reliable coverage, practical maintenance, and matching the system to the planting rather than simply adding more water.
Grading, excavation, boulder placement, material movement, post holes, footing preparation, gravel work, small equipment-assisted demolition, and other site-improvement tasks. Equipment is used as a tool to make the larger project safer, faster, and more practical—not as a service disconnected from the property need.
Path lighting, step lighting, water-feature lighting, accent lighting, system repairs, fixture replacement, and integration with new or renovated landscapes. Lighting should improve safety, extend enjoyment of the property after dark, and reveal the landscape without overwhelming it.
Site assessment, pre-design planning, repair-versus-replacement decisions, project phasing, DIY guidance, pre-purchase and pre-sale considerations, and situations where the scope is not yet clear. Use this service to route visitors who need an answer before they need an estimate.
Living Earth often returns to the same properties over many years for repairs, renovations, new work, maintenance, and evolving project needs. That continuity matters. Prior knowledge of the site, previous work, drainage, utilities, materials, client priorities, and maintenance history can make future decisions easier and more informed.
If the work is already well defined, start with a project request.
If you are still trying to understand the problem, compare options, or decide what should happen first, Consulting & Site Assessment may be the better starting point.
