Elevating Connecticut’s Outdoor Living with Expert Landscape Design and Build Services
How our Design and Build Process Works
Every project runs the same clear path. First we walk your property, talk through how you want to use the space, and take measurements. Next we put together a design, and for larger jobs a rendering, so you can see the finished space before we break ground. Once the plan is set we handle any permits, then our crew does the build, from excavation and base work through the final stone, planting, or board. We finish with a full cleanup and walk the completed space with you. You get a clear schedule and a fixed quote up front, so there are no surprises.
Landscape Design & Renderings
Good design is where every strong project starts. We map your property and factor in soil type and sun exposure, then turn your ideas into clear 2D designs you can see and adjust before any work begins. We plan around the local climate and your home’s style so the layout is both beautiful and sustainable, from hillside designs near Newtown to poolside patios in Brookfield. The design consultation is free and comes with a no-obligation estimate, so you can plan the space with no commitment. Because it starts from a clear, understandable plan, changes are easy and you move into the build with confidence.
Driveways
Your driveway is the first thing people see, and a well-built one lifts your whole property’s curb appeal and value. We design and install high-quality driveways using premium pavers and top-grade poured concrete, tailored to your home. You can choose the timeless elegance of pavers or the sleek, modern look of poured concrete, and we work closely with you so the driveway fits your home’s architecture and your style. We use only the highest quality materials, so your driveway is beautiful and stands up to the harsh New England weather year after year. As a local company that knows the region’s environment and weather patterns, we build driveways suited to the area.

Every backyard is different, so we create a design that complements your outdoor living space and becomes its centerpiece. The process starts with a personal consultation to understand your vision and assess your space, then detailed design options, and our team manages the whole installation with timely completion and minimal disruption.

Plantings & Softscapes
Plantings are what make a hardscape feel finished and alive, and they can turn a yard into a sustainable, vibrant space. We pair deep knowledge of the local flora with current techniques to create resilient softscapes that thrive through every season. That means selecting annual flowers that bloom in our local climate for bursts of seasonal color, and designing with native plants suited to our soil, which need less water and upkeep, promote biodiversity, and provide habitat for local wildlife. Our team knows the local ecosystem, so we craft personalized plantings that add to your property’s beauty and value while staying sustainable and easy to maintain. We have served Brookfield, Newtown, Bridgewater, and the surrounding Western Connecticut towns since 1999, and every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate.
Seating & Retaining Walls
A retaining wall manages soil erosion and holds back a slope, while a seating wall turns a patio into a place to gather, and we build both to fit your landscape. We combine meticulous craftsmanship with real knowledge of the local terrain, choosing high-quality materials suited to our climate so the wall stands up year after year. Whether you want a cozy outdoor seating area or a wall to control erosion on your property, we work closely with you so the design reflects your style and handles the practical side of managing your landscape. Built to last with advanced construction techniques, our walls add both structure and lasting beauty to your yard. We have served Brookfield, Newtown, Bridgewater, and the surrounding Western Connecticut towns since 1999, and every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate.
Artificial Turf
Artificial turf gives you a perfectly green, low-maintenance lawn without the mowing, watering, or fighting weeds, and it looks and feels like natural grass. It is a smart choice for areas where real grass struggles, like shaded lawns, sloped areas, and high-traffic zones such as play areas and pet runs, and you never have to worry about fertilizers or irrigation again. Our turf is designed to handle New England’s seasonal shifts and stays clean and green through snow, sun, and everything in between. A good install starts with the prep, so we remove the existing grass, level the area, and build a solid base, with real attention to drainage, which matters in the Brookfield area where freeze-thaw cycles move the ground. The result feels natural, looks seamless, and holds up season after season. We have served Brookfield, Newtown, Bridgewater, and the surrounding towns since 1999, and every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate.
Deck Installations
A deck extends your living space off the back of the house and becomes a backyard center for relaxation, entertainment, and time with family. Our team brings over 15 years of combined experience designing, building, and finishing decks across Fairfield County, and we handle your project from the first consultation through flawless execution. Whether you want the natural warmth of wood, the low-maintenance appeal of composite, or the durability of PVC, we use only the highest-grade materials and hardware, from tropical hardwoods that better withstand moisture to composite and PVC boards engineered to resist fading, staining, and weather. Our master carpenters build decks meant to last for decades, backed by our exclusive 15-year structural warranty. We also handle upkeep, from power washing, staining, and sealing to board and rail repair and full refinishing. We have served Brookfield, Newtown, Bridgewater, and the surrounding towns since 1999, and every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
A paver or natural stone patio typically runs about $10 to $35 per square foot installed, with concrete pavers at the lower end and natural stone at the higher end. For a 20 by 20 foot patio, that usually lands somewhere from a few thousand dollars up to around $14,000, depending on the material and add-ons like a seating wall or fire pit. We give a free on-site quote so you get a real figure for your yard.
A retaining wall typically costs about $35 to $65 per square foot installed, including materials and labor. Taller walls cost more, since anything over about four feet needs a permit, an engineer's design, and deeper foundations. Material matters too, with natural stone at the high end and concrete block more affordable.
An asphalt driveway generally runs about $5 to $12 or more per square foot installed, while a paver driveway runs about $10 to $30 per square foot. Asphalt costs less up front and goes in fast, while pavers cost more but last longer, add curb appeal, and let us replace a single unit if one is ever damaged. We walk your property and recommend the option that fits your budget and how the driveway gets used.
A composite deck usually costs about $40 to $80 per square foot installed, so a 20 by 20 foot deck often runs $16,000 to $32,000. Ground-level decks sit at the lower end, while elevated decks cost more. A wood deck costs less to build, around $25 to $50 per square foot, but needs more upkeep over the years.
A built-in fire pit typically runs from about $325 to $2,000 installed, while a full outdoor fireplace runs higher, roughly $1,500 to $9,000 for a prefab unit or $6,000 to $20,000 for a custom masonry build. The difference is scale, a fireplace has a chimney and hearth, a fire pit is an open gathering spot. We build both to match your patio stone so it reads as one project.
Installed artificial turf generally costs about $6 to $17 per square foot, depending on the turf quality and how much prep the area needs. It costs more up front than seeding a lawn, but you save on mowing, watering, and fertilizer for years, which is why it is popular for shaded spots, pet runs, and high-traffic areas where grass struggles. We put in a proper base and drainage so it stays level and dry.
Often yes, and the rules vary by town. As a general guide, retaining walls over about three to four feet, decks attached to the house, and patios close to a property line usually need a permit, while a simple ground-level patio sometimes does not. We handle the permit process so the work is done to code.
We serve Brookfield, Bethel, Danbury, Newtown, Bridgewater, New Milford, and Ridgefield across Western Connecticut. Timelines depend on the job, a patio or fire pit may take a few days, while a full design and build with walls, plantings, and a driveway can run a few weeks. After we walk your property we give you a clear schedule along with the quote.
