We have 4ft wide buckets as well as a 52" V plow for plowing long pathways.

Plant Material & Mulch

Plant material selection and placement is the key to a visually appealing, beautiful, and functional landscape. There are many decisions to make regarding plant material such as plant hardiness (will it survive on the prairies?), mature height and spread, color, flowers, fruit, fall color, winter interest, exposure, and the list goes on.

Site Grading & Top Soil

Proper and careful site grading will ensure water flows away from your home. All beautiful landscapes start with proper site grading. At City Gardens, we will use the engineered elevations that are specific to your lot (if you are in a newer area with this information available). If you are in an existing older neighborhood we will assess the site conditions and configure a plan to exit the water away from your house.
