Kimberly's tidy, tree-lined streets set a high bar for curb appeal — and that is exactly what we build here.
The old Paper Village sits right in the Heart of the Valley, and it shows a lot of pride. Kimberly's neighborhoods run to well-kept mid-century homes and newer builds on quiet streets, the kind of place where a sharp front yard is a point of neighborly competition. We are happy to help you win it.
Most of the work we do in Kimberly is for families who want a yard that looks great and holds up to real use — kids, dogs, and a short season to enjoy it all. That means durable plantings, a patio that takes a beating, and beds that stay clean without a full-time gardener.
A Kimberly backyard usually has to do double duty: a place for the kids to run and a place for the adults to sit. We design for both, with a durable paver patio for the grill and the fire pit and open, healthy turf that survives a summer of foot traffic.
Plant choices matter when a yard gets used hard. We lean on tough, Zone-5-proven shrubs and perennials that shrug off a stray soccer ball and still look good in October.
Front yards are where Kimberly shines, and a clean, layered planting bed does more for a home's look than almost anything else. We build beds with real edging, honest soil, and plants scaled to the house so it reads finished, not fussy.
A custom, buildable plan for your whole yard — drainage, plantings, and hardscape that fit your property and our climate.
