Landscape Design, Installation and Renovation
We believe that landscaping is more than just plants, trees and turf. Landscapes should incorporate a sense of originality, warmth, passion, interest and beauty. Our company strives to integrate all these elements into our designs and installations.
Before beginning any landscape project, we start by simply listening to the client. What do they like? What do they not like? What function do they want for this space? The answers to these questions determine the direction of focus for the landscape. We want the landscape to reflect the client and their interests. In all of our designs and installations, we try to blend a variety of smells and textures to create interest, beauty and depth.
Grantlin Landscape Services, Inc. adheres to the principle that a great design is only as good as the products that are used. Therefore, we only use the highest quality plant and tree materials available, and never settle for common-place.
In addition, we use earth friendly soil mixes, soil amendments and fertilizers to ensure that your landscape has a healthy living environment.
Hardscapes Installation
Through innovations in man-made product, as well as increasing availability of natural product, hardscapes are becoming more popular as a home improvement investment. Hardscapes include pavers, retaining walls, outdoor living spaces, stonework, fire pits, pool surrounds and any additional landscape feature that uses stone materials. Studies have shown that hardscapes can increase the property value of a home around 10% or more over the normal selling price. Hardscapes also add to the attractiveness of a home with the growing trend toward outdoor living spaces and kitchen areas.
Grantlin Landscape Services, Inc. is proud to use Belgard, Techo-Bloc and Cambridge products in their hardscape installations. However, we always welcome the opportunity to explore and use other manufacturers that our clients want.
Water Features
Adding a fountain, pond, traditional waterfall, pondless waterfall or stream to your landscape is an exquisite blend of stonework, plant textures and liquid motion for you to enjoy year round. Modern water features are owner-friendly, affordable, natural looking, and require minimal maintenance.
Water features also provide many additional benefits beyond aesthetics. Water features reduce traffic noise giving you the outdoor oasis you have always dreamed of. Water features create a sustainable ecosystem for a variety of plants and wildlife. Water features have also been found to reduce stress and tension by providing a measure of tranquility through sounds of water flow.
Irrigation & Lighting
Summer heat can be brutal on plants, trees and turf. Irrigation systems have been found to be extremely beneficial for plant, tree and turf health and development. Like hardscapes, irrigations systems have been shown to increase the property value of a home. Innovations such as rain sensors, remote controls, and smart controllers have improved the functionality of irrigation systems. Grantlin Landscape Services, Inc. uses RainBird, Toro and Hunter products in their irrigation installations.
An additional element that increases property value is landscape lighting. Landscape lighting is a must when you want to showcase your new landscape. Furthermore, landscape lighting provides a measure of security for your home. Unique, Vista Pro, Kichler and CopperMoon are some of the manufacturers that we use in our lighting installations.
Landscape Maintenance
As part of our comprehensive approach to landscaping, Grantlin Landscape Services, Inc. offers annual landscape maintenance contracts. Proper landscape maintenance is vital for plant, tree and turf development and sustainability.
We extend our landscape maintenance services to include both residential and commercial clients. We customize all of our landscape maintenance contracts to fit the client’s needs.
