Complete landscape renovations of several older Meridian-Kessler homes

While Winter's weather greatly limits our ability to do much landscape installation, our staff remains busy preparing for Spring. Educational seminars are being attended, improvements being made to our own 10 acre facility and our equipment, and our design staff is actively working on plans to be implemented this Spring and Summer.

Snowfall finds our crews on the streets clearing parking lots, driveways and sidewalks at a variety of area businesses and residences.

Whatever your landscape needs for the year might be, now is the time to be putting plans in place.

As always, we are working on an exciting array of projects not only in Indianapolis, but throughout Central Indiana.
