Landscape solutions that turn your home into your hideaway

Retreat just steps from your door. Gaze at nature from every window. Recline in the shade next to a trickling waterfall. Matt Lucas and his landscape design team do more than make your yard beautiful, they give you an everyday escape, a vacation.

Our Staff

We have a small 13 person staff and that is just fine with us. A small, happy workforce is what makes for the best yards. Several of our employees have been with us for more than 10 years. We don’t have a lot of job openings and that’s a good thing. We are a tight-knit group with one thing in mind: making beautiful yards.

Our team is

•       Courteous
•       Safe
•       Highly Skilled
•       Flexible
•       Takes pride in their work. Our people often pull out their phones at
the end of the day and take pictures of what they accomplished.

  • Kudos from our awesome client

    Just wanted to say how pleased we are with the recent landscaping design, plants and work. It complemented your work from over 10 years ago and has made our yard that much more enjoyable. Your team is the best; from the moment we conducted business it has been totally positive! The design and choice/location of plants and landscaping have been perfect and although we're located in a remote area we have people stop and complement your work. It's especially refreshing knowing that there are still people and businesses like yours that "do what they say!"

  • From an Awesome Client ...

    I just wanted to reach out and let you know that the guys here are amazing! I can’t believe how quickly they are getting through the project and it looks fantastic. Logan said this morning “wow mommy, that is impressive, I can’t wait to play out there!” I just wanted to let you know and hopefully you can pass it on to them (Tomas & Walter). We appreciate you guys and all the awesome work!
