Landscape Design

Eichenlaub’s professional design staff creates each landscape plan with attention to the individual aspects of a client’s property coupled with the features specific to their home.  This full consideration is what has led Eichenlaub designs to be the recipients of professional design awards.  Our designers realize that the dramatic impact of a cascading waterfall as well as the smaller details such as the subtle shading of an heirloom rose are equally noteworthy of their attention when creating a successful plan.  We, at Eichenlaub, understand that the first step toward achieving the final result our customers want for their property is to create a landscape design plan that matches their vision.

   
 

Softscapes

New Installations; Renovations

Planting is far more than placing a flower, tree, or shrub in the ground. It is evaluating the right location, selecting the appropriate plant; installing it in correctly prepared soil; at the proper depth; where suitable living conditions can be maintained. This is the Eichenlaub approach to every job. We select only the highest quality plants from growers in geographically compatible zones throughout the United States. This allows us to make unique and distinctive selections for every client. Each member of our planting crews has been educated and trained regarding installation protocols. This expertise has led the foremost landscape architects and designers to choose Eichenlaub for their projects in this area. What begins as a landscape job ends as a creative investment benefiting your overall property value.

   
  Specialty Gardens

Woodland; Herb; English Style; Japanese Style; Rose; Cutting; and many more

Theme gardens are created to provide an escape from the ordinary. They
range from rose gardens - to herb gardens - to specific color palates - to butterfly gardens - to formal English landscapes or any other garden interests one can have. At Eichenlaub, our crews have the experience to install the most discerning theme gardens and our nursery staff has the ability to locate and acquire all the plants that are needed. We can transform any specialized request into a growing reality that will differentiate your property from all others.

   
  Hardscapes

Retaining Walls; Steps; Sitting Walls; Water Features; Walkways; Patios; Entrance Pillars; Custom Fences; Arbors

Hardscapes are the non-plant elements on your property. Incorporating hardscape features such as walls, patios, walkways, and arbors into your landscape will improve the usefulness and beauty of your garden and yard. Hardscapes can create new outdoor living areas on your property ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

We are experienced at installing brick, concrete pavers, stone, and wood. At Eichenlaub, stone masonry is not a bygone skill. We have experts performing old-world craftsmanship, with a variety of materials on today’s property. This gives us the unique capability of incorporating natural setting hardscapes into your landscape. Our expertise in these areas allows us to go beyond traditional landscape designs and plant installations to provide our customers the most complete service possible.

   
  CUSTOM WOODWORKING

Gazebos; Arbors; Pergolas; Decks on Grade; Specialty Fences; Play Structures

Eichenlaub has a long-standing reputation for building unique outdoor enhancements that accent both your home and its surrounding property.  Each pergola, patio deck, fence, or garden structure is custom designed then built by hand, by our in-house craftsmen.  We use superior quality woods that we can also integrate with stone or brick to give our customers the broadest design selections possible.  The result is a combination of beauty and functionality.  These structures create areas that you and your family will be able to enjoy and use to the fullest.

   
  Water Features

Ponds; Streams; Waterfalls; Fountains

Water can be used as the focal point of a new garden or it can add an exciting dimension to an existing one. Eichenlaub can design and install ponds, streams, fountains, waterfalls, and other water features. Our design staff is skilled in calculating water flows, evaluating the impact on the surrounding topography, and addressing the daily performance of each water attribute. In addition to being a source of visual pleasure, water features can produce soothing sounds and support a variety of aquatic plants and fish. Eichenlaub’s experience at selecting both can truly expand a water feature into a flourishing water garden.

Eichenlaub’s design and installation is not just limited to the water feature. Our in-house construction specialists can create effects that produce water bridging, adding stepping stones, timber decking, islands, and a variety of bridges. This allows our customers to gain the fullest enjoyment from each installation.

   
 

Irrigation

Design; Installation; Service

Watering is an integral part of landscape design and maintenance. Irrigation systems can be the difference between a thriving environment and the disintegration of plant life. Eichenlaub’s irrigation department has certified personnel, with the technical expertise to provide the best possible methods to manage your landscape. We pay special attention to ensure that flowers, trees, shrubs, ground cover, and grass areas will receive the proper amount of supplemental water necessary to maintain optimum growth. Conservation of our natural resources is a paramount concern to us at Eichenlaub. As such, our irrigation specialists are most accurate in calculating watering needs and most prompt with any follow-up service.

   
  Lighting

Moonlight; Silhouettes; Accents; Path; Up-lights

Complementary night lighting has the ability to enhance the best aspects of your garden, walkways, landscape, and your home while adding to your security. Effective night lighting takes into account the contrasts between light and shade, angles, direction, intensity, and energy use. This kind of result cannot be achieved through what ever happens to be in stock at the local mass merchandiser. Eichenlaub utilizes custom manufactured fixtures, not available locally, and we have the trained personnel to provide ongoing service. We have the experience in both the design attributes and the installation of custom lighting. Eichenlaub can transform you garden or patio into a nighttime living space while creating an outdoor ambiance that will make your landscaping become an accent for your home in the evening as well as during the day.
