 | Hardscapes Carefully planned driveways, walkways, retaining walls and patios can enhance the functionality and visual appeal of your exterior spaces. We have years of experience building walks and patios of concrete, pavers, flagstone, etc., for any type of yard or outdoor space. We also build beautiful ponds, waterfalls, etc. of natural stone and boulders. |
 | Landscapes We’ll work with you to custom design and install a landscape that fits your needs. I always want to know if there are any plants you would especially like included or colors you love or hate. I also want to get a feel for the type of landscape that suits you best, and design accordingly. I’ll work within your budget whether we create a formal plan or work from simple on-site sketches. |
 | Masonry We do extensive work in concrete, stone, pavers, brick, block, etc. Our flagstone patios for instance may be set in soil with ground cover planted in-between; on compacted decomposed granite; or mortared onto a concrete base with grout in-between. Retaining walls may have a poured concrete footing with re-bar, or sectional masonry units on compacted base. |
 | Woodwork We design and build any structure outdoors you desire. These include decks, fences, retaining walls, gates, steps, arbors, trellises, sheds, raised garden beds, etc. |
 | Lighting If you’ve considered turning your landscape into a beautiful night-scape with low-voltage accent lighting, we can make that happen. Lighting not only provides a stunning backdrop after dark but a measure of security for your home as well. Steps in particular should be well lit to prevent tripping in the dark. |
 | Irrigation We specialize in drought tolerant drip irrigation systems. This is the most efficient use of water as well as the most beneficial way to water your plants. Sprinklers make sense only in lawns. Used in the landscape they invite weeds and excessive water use. We also install French Drains and other drainage systems. |

| Gary G., Landscape Architect Riley Twohig has over the years successfully completed numerous jobs I have designed. His willingness to see what needs to be done and professionally fulfill the obligations of a plan or a request from a client, is a smooth and easy task for him to accomplish. Riley graduated from Cal Berkeley with a degree in Landscape Architecture and chose to create gardens from the hands-on-approach. His vision for the environment is easily explained in his photos of the Big Sur Coast, two of which hang in my office. |
| Janet B. Riley and his crew transformed our backyard into a thing of beauty. I especially appreciated the neat and professional manner everyone exhibited. All the tools were kept in a trailer and they showed up with an outhouse on wheels. The disruption to our lives was minimal and the benefits speak for themselves. |
