Late May to early June is ideal, once the soil thaws and grass starts growing.
Yes, with proper preparation such as aeration, fertilization, and seasonal cleanup, lawns can thrive after winter.
Costs vary based on service type and lawn size.
Cold-hardy varieties like Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass, and Fine Fescues are best suited for Anchorage’s climate.
Yes, if your deck is over 30 inches high or attached to your home, you’ll need a permit from the city.
On average, 2–6 weeks, depending on complexity and weather.
Composite and PVC are popular for their durability and low maintenance in wet, cold climates.
Yes. In addition, rock gardens can be strategically designed to help prevent soil erosion on sloping land by slowing down the water flow and holding the soil in place.
One of the main attractions of rock gardens is their minimal maintenance requirements. With drought-tolerant plants and a thoughtful design, rock gardens require little watering, pruning, or weeding compared to traditional gardens.
Our retaining walls are designed to withstand the constant expansion and contraction caused by freezing and thawing ground. The key is proper engineering and drainage. We install a compacted gravel base below the frost line to prevent frost heave, use materials rated for extreme temperatures, and add a drainage system (such as perforated pipe and backfill rock) to keep water from pooling behind the wall. This reduces pressure and prevents cracks, shifting, or bulging over time. When built with the right foundation, drainage, and materials, retaining walls can last for decades—even in Alaska’s harsh climate.
Yes. We cover the integrity of our construction work for up to 3 months.
On average, 1–3 weeks, depending on complexity and weather.
Anchorage’s short growing season, cool summers, and cold winters mean you’ll get the best results with hardy, cold-tolerant plants that thrive in USDA zones 3–4. Popular choices include:
Perennials: Lupine, delphinium, columbine, peony, and bleeding heart.
Shrubs: Dwarf Korean lilac, potentilla, spirea, and Siberian peashrub.
Evergreens: Spruce, juniper, and mugo pine for year-round color and wind protection.
Groundcovers: Creeping thyme, sedum, and ajuga for low-maintenance coverage.
Edibles: Rhubarb, raspberries, and hardy herbs like chives and mint.
Choosing native or adapted species ensures better survival, less maintenance, and vibrant color from spring to fall. For best results, plant in well-draining soil, use mulch to protect roots, and select varieties proven in Alaska’s climate.
