Spring Landscaping

     Sweetwater Farms offers landscaping services to help your property look its best as Spring arrives. We can help design new landscaping around your house, get those flower beds ready, plant trees, shrubs and flowers, trim trees and bushes, spread mulch and gravel, and even help bury those unsightly drainage pipes coming down from your gutters like we did earlier this week. It can help keep water away from your home and foundation. We added stones to the pipe exit on this particular project to help hide the pipe and reduce washing around the exit during heavy rain.





     We also can help with sidewalks. We recently busted up this old stone sidewalk. We can do the same for you and even replace it with stepping stones for a new walkway.




     Contact us with your landscaping ideas and needs. We are glad to lend a hand! And don't forget we can help you plant your garden in April!
