Summer Days

This first day of Summer (June 21) finds our crews revamping the front of a customer's home with a walkway and handicap ramp, driveway improvements, and the installation of new plant material, seed, and sod.
Note especially the handicap ramp. Most ramps are belated add-on's, oddly juxtaposed against the existing architecture. But this ramp rises fluidly to the front stoop, forming a graceful arc by the side planting bed. Great work guys!

Quick Fix

Apparently someone missed the drive-thru by a wide margin. Well, no job too big or too small, as the saying goes - especially when the job is emergency turf repair for one of our existing customers.


Now, it's like it never happened - thanks, of course, to the expert work of our crews.

Homeward Bound

Our crews were rolling the other day, with these BIG maples and oaks, bound for their new home at a customer's property.


As we've noted before, Ben's Creek Nursery is able to provide Instant Trees - just call us, and normally within the week, you can have a full grown, 15-20' shade tree installed in just the right spot in your yard or garden!

Seamless Precision


The art of paver work is often that of being inconspicuous - that is, it must blend in with the existing improvements seamlessly. Here is some recent brick paver work that highlights our crew's expertise. Not only did they have to fit this under a back staircase and around stair supports and AC units, but the pavers had to align with an existing concrete driveway.

The finished product speaks for itself.

Instant Trees!

Pin Oaks 16'
If there is a better way to start off a major landscaping job than planting some BIG, full grown, ready to shade trees, I can't think of it right now. Especially when the customer elects to obtain those trees from our own Nursery. Herewith some photos of some trees, newly installed, that we have watched, tended, and nurtured for upwards of six years or more:

Biloxi Crape Myrtle 12-14'
Overcup Oak 5" caliper
Biloxi Crape Myrtle 12-14'
Green Giant Arborvitae 10-12'
Pin Oak 18'

Spring Makeover

Spring brings out the best. Even our own driveway entrance got a fresh makeover recently.

It's sometimes amazing what a few little things can accomplish. New seed and sod, fresh mulch, small garden beds, a little pruning, and some general cleanup almost magically seem to revitalize everything - including us! Herewith some photos.
