About Us

"The garden must be prepared in the soul first or else it will not flourish."

- English Proverb.

What makes Rick's better?    
Our primary focus is to design a landscape that is simple to care for, pleasing to view, and unique. Mindful of our short summer and long winter conditions our design emphasis is to introduce a style and character that few use or promote.

Our varied work experience and knowledge provides expertise in other related areas - hobby greenhouse, storage shed,  garden bridge, water pond/fall feature, large & heavy rock placement, and certain arboriculture issues. A visit to our business location will provide examples of our work.


What makes Rick's different? 
 Nature provides the best example of scenes that are pleasing and inspiring to view. Water, stone, and plants are vital and basic elements of an oriental style garden. The traditional oriental garden takes years to fully develop and hours of meticulous care.

By studing and practicing landscape methods and techniques common to Japanese gardens
our designs can provide a simple, pleasing, and unique landscape/garden. A visit to our business location will provide you the opportunity to see examples of our design work.


What makes
Rick's service a value?
Retail garden centers provide little, if any, design help or assistance. Planning, installing, and managing a landscape project is time consuming, physically demanding, and a costly event. Rick's can help make your project  fun to do, enhance the results, and be cost effective. Having some one to talk to  and available to visit the work site will insure the project is an enjoyable event.
