My yard is a pollinator and wildlife-friendly habitat with a natural beauty thru the seasons thanks to Dave Eubanks. He guided me in the creation and installation of a native yard and continues to help in maintenance with prescribed burns and invasives control. Thank you Dave.

I have been putting off a yard project for many years because of what I thought would be a difficult process. From the moment Dave came to my house he put my mind at ease. He worked with me on my ideas, and helped me figure out how to make the work affordable to me. The day of the project the team was right on time and hard working. Dave stayed the whole time to ensure that I was pleased with the work being done. I have even texted a few questions since completion that Dave has kindly answered. Don't put off your dream yard...call!

Dave and his team recreated our entire front yard. They removed unwanted yew, transplanted overgrown dogwood, and put in native trees and the most beautiful flower bed full of native plants. We cannot wait to watch it all come into its own.
Dave is simultaneously capable and easygoing. He definitely knows his stuff, and is willing to listen and adjust accordingly. His team did great work. 16+ different varieties of native flowers and plants added to our yard overnight.
Here is a before and after of our entryway; the quality of the trees he sourced is amazing.
