With the ability to cover those hard to reach areas, our trucks are capable of blowing up to 300 feet away from our trucks. We perform precise application which can reduce material cost from 20% or more by breaking up material clumps and producing an even mulch spreading pattern, with fine particles on top.

Earth Retention Systems
Earth Retention Systems involve retaining soil subjected to either a natural, unstable slope or a man-made excavation and when required, supporting existing adjacent structures. They can also be a functional backbone of a great landscape design. In a landscape setting, retaining walls help define the look and feel of a project while adding structure. Interesting features such as terraced slopes provide visual depth and improved functionality to your property. Earth Images draws on its extensive experience with the full range of techniques to provide optimal earth retention solutions, and/or enhance your landscape’s appearance.
Invasive Species Removal
Invasive, non-native plants are a serious threat to native species, communities, and ecosystems in many areas. Invasive species can compete with and displace native plants and animals. They can alter ecosystems’ functions, structures, and cycles. In addition, they could promote other undesirable plant growth. The good news is that a lot of plant invasions can be stopped and reversed. Earth Images has the experience, equipment, and required licensing and certifications to eradicate invasive species on your project.
Irrigation Installation & Maintenance
A properly installed irrigation system maximizes the long-term value of your landscape by reducing maintenance costs while supporting optimum plant health. Earth Images can install a competent irrigation system on time and within budget no matter how large or complex. Plus, by maintaining your irrigation system, we can reduce wasted water, reduce pollution from run-off and over-irrigation, and improve plant health by applying the correct amount of water where it can be utilized by the landscape.

Perfecting the science of seeding and sodding, a practice that is the foundation of our business involves a commitment to using the highest-quality, state-certified seed varieties and the most advanced equipment. Effective seeding and sodding, which is critical to improving the environment by adding beauty and preventing soil erosion, requires intensive soil preparation. Every Earth Images sodding project includes a standard 30-day watering program to promote a strong, healthy root system.
Small Structure Installation
Small structures including culverts and precast concrete rectangular box culverts are small structure that forms a hole through an embankment and have no superstructure, substructure or deck. Earth Images has the capabilities to design and install these drainage elements on your project.
Soil Amendments/Placement & Light Grading
Soil amendments are materials you add to soil to improve its physical or chemical properties. Unlike fertilizers, the exact ingredients and chemical composition of soil amendments vary among different sources. Soil amendments can also improve the fertility and alter the acidity of the soil, making it easier for plants to access the nutrients they need. Earth Images has the capabilities and resources to use soil amendments to improve the permeability and water retention characteristics of your soil. The key to successful landscaping and turf establishment starts with quality soil. Earth Images can provide finish grading, new topsoil placement, and amend existing soils to help ensure a successful project.
