Flak's Blog

Welcome to my musings about landscaping. I enjoy "edu-scaping" my customers so they truly understand the reasons behind the design and choices of plant and hardscape materials. My passion is creating unique designs to make the outdoor living space beautiful and functional. Add outdoor lighting and a water feature and you won't want to go indoors until winter!
