Landscaping solutions

Yards on the Central Island are all unique, and every property has its own personality. Some houses are anchored straight into solid rock, steeply sloped lawns, or purely sandy soil. They also come with unique quirks like tricky, tight access points, poor drainage, or large protected trees that you have to work around.

Figure Eight can help with whatever problems or questions you may have.

Solutions for Difficult Landscapes
Consultation or Installations

We can help with your landscaping needs, from concept to installation, including:

  • Steep sloped yards

  • Exposed bedrock and rocky sites

  • Poor drainage and wet areas

  • Awkward or limited access

  • Failing or poorly placed retaining walls

  • Overgrown, outdated landscapes

  • Natural movement and flow throughout the garden

  • Mature trees with established root systems

  • Difficult transitions between patios, lawns, gardens

Instead of forcing a standard solution onto the property, we work with existing grades, rock, drainage, vegetation and surrounding landscape. We identify the problem and develop practical options for improving your space.

Our solutions may include:

  • On site client consultations, garden plans, and assessments

  • Thoughtful grading

  • Retaining walls

  • Terraces

  • Alpine rock and crevice gardens

  • Swales, ponds, and rain gardens

  • Firesmart, drought resistant, and deer / rabbit resistant varieties

Do you have a difficult property or landscape that you don't know how to solve? ​

We do garden consultations and assessments!
