New home Landscaping in Alaska
Building a new home is an exciting milestone, and landscaping is what brings the whole property together. We love helping new homeowners turn bare ground into finished, livable spaces that reflect their vision and lifestyle. From layout to planting, each project is a chance to create something functional, personal, and enduring.
Landscape Consultation and Design
Starting with a blank yard can feel overwhelming, but that’s where we come in. We offer a free on-site consultation, walk through your property, and listen closely to how you want your outdoor space to feel and function. If you’re not sure where to begin, we’ll guide you through options and suggest ideas that make sense for your home and budget. Using advanced design tools and real imagery of your house, we help you visualize the possibilities before any work begins.
Site Preparation and Dirt Work
Before we build anything, we tackle what most new homeowners see first: an empty, uneven lot that can feel more like a moonscape than a future yard. Site prep is where transformation begins. We handle clearing, grading, and dirt work to turn rough terrain into a clean, buildable foundation. Proper preparation sets the stage for everything that follows and ensures your landscape is built to last.
Hardscaping, Retaining Walls, Patios and Decks
Your yard might start as a blank slate, but this is where it gets fun. Hardscaping adds structure and purpose with retaining walls, patios, steps, and walkways that turn raw land into usable, inviting space.
We build using materials that can handle Alaska’s tough climate and still look great year after year. Options include:
Natural boulders
Pavers
Brick
Gabion walls
We shape each hardscape to fit your property by leveling slopes, creating outdoor gathering areas, and designing a front entry that ties it all together.
Lawn Installation
There’s something special about seeing green grass where there was once just dirt and dust. A beautiful lawn is often the first thing that makes a new house feel like home. It softens the edges, invites you outside, and gives you a place to play, relax, or simply enjoy the view.
We build lawns from the ground up, starting with high-quality topsoil blends and hydroseed that’s proven to grow in Alaska. Every yard is different, so we offer custom seed mixes based on how you plan to use your space: low-maintenance, kid-friendly, pet-ready, or just flat-out lush and beautiful.
Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials
New homes often feel unfinished without the natural elements that bring softness and life to the landscape. Trees add structure, shrubs create privacy, and perennials deliver lasting color that returns each season. These details turn open space into something welcoming and uniquely yours.
We help you choose the right mix of hardy trees, native shrubs, and low-maintenance perennials that are well-suited to your location, including Palmer, Big Lake, Eagle River, Anchorage, and beyond. Some homeowners want wind protection, others want to attract bees and other pollinators or add four-season interest. Whatever your goals, we plant with purpose and a focus on long-term growth.
Garden Bed Installation
For homeowners who want dedicated planting space, we offer raised and in-ground garden beds that add structure, color, and purpose to the landscape. Each bed is installed with proper layering and drainage to support healthy roots and long-term growth. We include cold-hardy species that are proven to thrive in Alaska, adding reliable color throughout the growing season.
We know how exciting it is to step into a brand-new home. We’ve been there! There’s pride, anticipation, and a hundred ideas about what comes next. Landscaping is the finishing touch that helps everything come together, and we’re honored to be part of that moment.
