History

Established in 2005.

We started out maintaining yards for customers interested in native landscapes as well as managing school natural areas. We quickly realized that our passion was for transformation. This interest led to a push towards creating dynamic spaces for play environments as well as for residential customers.

We have stayed true to the pursuit of transformation and realized that a collaborative relationship with our customers + transformation of their space = positive change in their lives. This could not be more evident in the play spaces we create, where the spaces that kids interact in will no doubt have a profound impact on their lives. But for residential customers as well, transforming their space through collaboration can have a profound impact.
