Japanese Gardens
Our Japanese garden designs blend traditional elements like tsukubai fountains and stone pathways with modern aesthetics. We prioritize tranquility and natural harmony, using Japanese maples, ornamental pines, and carefully placed boulders. Each garden is tailored to complement architectural styles while creating meditative outdoor spaces for relaxation and reflection.
Landscape Maintenance
We provide seasonal pruning, pest control, and disease management to preserve garden health. Our team uses sustainable practices to maintain plant vitality, ensuring landscapes remain vibrant year-round. Services include mulching, irrigation management, and winterization to protect investments in outdoor spaces.
Natural Gardens
These gardens emphasize native plants and ecological balance, creating habitats for wildlife while reducing maintenance needs. We design with natural patterns in mind, using layered plantings that mimic wild ecosystems. Features like pollinator gardens and rainwater management systems enhance environmental benefits.
Low-Maintenance Gardens
We select slow-growing, drought-resistant plants and install efficient irrigation systems to minimize upkeep. Strategic hardscaping with stone or gravel reduces lawn areas, while dense plantings suppress weeds naturally. These gardens balance beauty with practicality for busy homeowners.
Water Features
From serene tsukubai basins to custom swim-in waterfalls, we integrate water elements that enhance ambiance and property value. Our designs ensure proper circulation and maintenance ease, combining aesthetics with functional engineering for lasting enjoyment.

What great guys! They operate high quality equipment like the Avant loaders to not tear up customer's properties when doing landscape installs.

We are very grateful for our garden design from Hanselman Landscape. They exceeded our expectations and created something we couldn't have imagined. The entire team is exceptional and very professional, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Hanselman landscaping has helped us re-landscape our property over the past 3 years. James has a way of guiding you through your own garden, taking in the vantage points and uncovering your vision (even though you didn't know you had one)!
