Creative - Environmentally Sensitive Landscaping

Your Landscape Solutions specializes in challenging and unusual residential, public, commercial, and industrial landscape architectural design, construction, and maintenance coordination projects. 
Since 1964 Tom Stephens has focused on creating environmentally sensitive and economically efficient landscape projects using natural, recycled, and low maintenance materials and techniques; with colorful and eye-catching multi-seasonal effects; and low water use techniques (Xeriscape). 
YLS will provide the conceptual design, cost estimate and phasing plan, construction drawings and documents, and any necessary on-site inspections.  Owners then can complete the project as do-it-yourselfers, with their own contractors, or select form YLS' list of successful contractors. 
YLS has provided a wealth of information and a project portfolio in the connected pages of this web site.  There are links to helpful articles & worksheets as well as the YLS design process to help get you started.  Peruse our site and let us know how we can create Your Landscape Solutions.

We look forward to working with you to design and construct the landscape of your dreams.   

Best wishes,
Tom Stephens
