The Willow Bend backyard rescue

The Hendricks family bought their ranch home for the inside, not the yard: a cracked concrete slab, knee-high weeds and shrubs so overgrown they were pushing the fence over. They wanted somewhere to eat dinner outside by July.

Yard size
1,600 sq ft
Duration
3 weeks, May 2025
Scope
Patio, sod, beds, fence
Investment
$24k–$28k range

What we did

We broke out the old slab, regraded so water runs away from the house, and laid 420 sq ft of charcoal pavers on a 10-inch compacted base. 900 sq ft of new sod, a 64-plant perennial border of hydrangea, lavender and grasses, and a horizontal-board privacy fence stained to match the trim.

Result: Finished two days ahead of schedule. Fourteen months later: zero settled pavers and every plant still in the ground.
“Our backyard was the thing we apologized for. Now we eat dinner out there five nights a week.”— Greg H., Willow Bend
Finished Lakeview backyard at dusk: paver patio, curved stone seat wall, fire pit and lit garden beds

Fire pit patio & lighting

A young family in Lakeview had a big, flat 0.4-acre lot and a patio the size of a parking space. They wanted a place to gather after the kids were in bed that still felt like part of the garden.

Lot size
0.4 acre
Duration
4 weeks, June 2025
Patio
640 sq ft pavers
Lighting
22 LED fixtures

What we did

A sweeping paver patio connected to the existing pergola, a 34-foot curved natural stone seat wall, a wood-burning fire pit, and new beds of hydrangea, ornamental grasses and boxwood. Warm low-voltage lighting on a dusk-to-midnight timer ties it together.

Result: The yard now gets used most nights from May through October. The beds are on our Full Season plan, so the planting has filled in exactly as designed.

Terraced front-yard wall

Every heavy rain sent mud across this Millbrook front walk. The slope was too steep to mow safely and the old timber edging had rotted out.

Wall length
58 linear ft
Duration
9 working days, Sept 2025
Steps
7 natural stone
Height
Two tiers, 2.5 ft each

What we did

Two terraces of natural fieldstone with drain tile and clean stone backfill, seven slab steps up to the front porch, and new perennial beds on each level with drip irrigation.

Result: The walk has stayed clean through every storm since. The wall came through its first spring thaw without a single stone moving.
“The front walk has been dry since the day they finished. It looks like it was always there.”— Ellen V., Millbrook

Two-season lawn turnaround

A 0.6-acre Cedar Falls lawn was thin, mowed too short by the previous company and roughly a third weeds by midsummer.

Lawn size
0.6 acre
Duration
2 seasons, 2024–2025
Program
Full Season plan
Mowing
Weekly at 3.5"

What we did

Core aeration and overseeding with a sun/shade blend two falls in a row, our 5-step fertilizer and weed program, preventive grub control and weekly mowing raised to 3.5 inches in summer.

Result: Weed coverage went from roughly 35% to under 5%. The client hasn't watered by hand since the second spring.

Stonebridge Commons fall cleanup

Stonebridge Commons is a 38-home association under mature maples and oaks. The board needed every front yard and common area cleared before the first snow, on a fixed budget.

Homes
38 + common areas
Duration
4 visits, Oct–Nov 2025
Crews
3 crews per visit
Leaves hauled
~410 cubic yards

What we did

Four scheduled passes from mid-October to late November, perennial cut-back in common beds, gutter clearing on the clubhouse, and every leaf hauled to a local compost facility.

Result: Done a week before the first snow, under budget. The board renewed for three years, adding weekly mowing and snow removal.

Ridgeway Hardware lot

Ridgeway Hardware & Supply opens at 7am and takes a freight delivery at 6:30. Their old contractor regularly showed up after the doors opened.

Lot size
1.1 acres
Season
Winter 2025–26
Events
27 plowable storms
Trigger
1 inch, lot + walks

What we did

A dedicated truck and sidewalk crew, a 1-inch trigger, pre-treating before forecast ice, and timestamped photo logs emailed after every visit.

Result: Open and salted before 6:15am for all 27 events. Zero slip-and-fall claims, and the store renewed before the season ended.
“Greenline is the only contractor I never have to chase.”— Jim P., property manager
