What the crew actually built.

Every photograph here is a real Loth & Son job, taken on the property. Nothing on this site is stock.

Stone and structures

Paths, pads, edges and the deck.

Planting and beds

Beds cut, edged, planted and mulched as one job.

A freshly mulched corner bed with hydrangea, fieldstone boulders and new plantings, curving around a tree at the edge of a lawn.
Corner bed rebuilt around the tree: boulders set, bed cut, plants in, mulched.
A long island planting bed with a clean cut edge running through an open lawn, with mature trees and a street beyond.
Island bed cut into an open lawn, with the edge held by hand rather than by plastic.
A narrow planting strip between a sidewalk and a lawn, freshly mulched with new low plantings and a fieldstone at one end.
The strip between the walk and the lawn, planted and mulched as one piece of work.
A front lawn area newly seeded and covered in straw, with a sprinkler running and a mulched bed along the house.
Seeded and strawed in September, when cool nights and warm soil do the work.

Maintenance through the year

The weekly route, the fall cleanup, the pruning most owners send out.

A large rear lawn cut in clean stripes, bordered by a low evergreen hedge and a granite cobble edge along the driveway.
Weekly maintenance: cut lines, a clipped hedge and a cobble edge that stays where it was set.

How we work

Everything arrives at once, and every estimate is written down before anything is dug.

    After: the same corner cleared and rebuilt as a stepping-stone path in river stone, with a granite cobble edge, new planting and path lights.After

  • Before: two air-conditioning condensers beside a house on loose gravel and scattered pavers, next to a cracked concrete walk.Before
    After: the same condensers standing on a level paver pad with a soldier-course border, tied into the concrete walk and the stone steps.After

  • Before: an overgrown island bed around a tree in a front lawn, with a narrow gravel path running past it.Before

These are the three jobs with photographs taken from the same spot before and after. Nothing here is staged and nothing is stock.
