From Seed to Stone

As you enter into a newly done landscape job, the first thing that attracts your attention more often than not are hardscapes such as patios, retaining walls, fences, chimneys, pergolas, walks and other structures.  These hardscapes anchor down the landscape while the plant material enhances and softens their impact on the landscape.  For this reason Saunders Landscapes began offering hardscapes, in particular stonework, about 6 years ago in order to continue to produce what we feel are landscape designs and installations that are second to none.  Our guarantee to you is that no other company will provide you with the same quality, creativity and price or we will MATCH their price.  For those who are looking for adding the greatest value to their landscape, stonework is hands down the greatest impact on your landscape.  For many, many years to come, our stonework will enhance and add value to your home.  

 

So now whether it is heirloom or cutting edge plant material or stonework that you are looking for, Saunders Landscapes has got you covered, 'From Seed to Stone'.

Born to be Wild!

In our January issue of Nelson County Life Magazine, we focused on the buffer zone and the loss of habitat for our native wildlife.  Our push with our clients has been to address this growing concern and to re-introduce native species back into the wild.  By addressing the buffer zone, we are guaranteeing future generations will appreciate the natural beauty of our land and wildlife.  Read on and plant your buffer zone today.
