A short introduction..

Rick's is a practitioner of Japanese garden design principals and elements. Your garden or landscape project need not be Japanese or Asian in character, but many design principles and practices are applicable. Most, if not all landscapes are focused on summer with few considering the winter character. At Rick's winter is as important as summer.

Landscaping is more then just about plants. Such topics as privacy, drainage, accessibility, storage, irrigation, snow accumulation, and maintenance issues are important considerations in the layout of landscape improvements. Such items as storage sheds, gates, fences, greenhouses, bridges, patios, paths/walkways, and electrical outlets are important elements in helping a landscape improvement become functional as well as pleasing to view.

Is your landscape overgrown, does it have certain site problems, and/or lacks appeal?
The design emphasis is to make it easy to construct, simple to care for, and a delight to view.

Don't know where to start, but want to change some of  the landscape?
We will help guide you in the process of developing  your landscape  with less effort, cost considerations, and potential conflicts.  Landscape  projects can be fun, stimulating, and fullfiling.

Can landscaping be a "Do it yourself" project?
We at Rick's encourage you to see our design approach in practice at our business location. Landscape projects can be performed in phases  and coordinated to meet budget factors.  Our design's are easily suited to those who enjoy to "Do it yourself"

Is it expensive?
Our designs can be balanced to the owners budget and aspirations. Landscaping need not be difficult, cumbersome, or expensive.
