Elko, Nevada

Landscaping Company in Elko, NV

Babb's Fence and Landscape handles landscaping and full lot development in Elko, Nevada, bringing together lot preparation, grading, drainage, fencing, hardscaping, paver patios, retaining walls, sprinkler systems, sod, and rock. One crew handles the fence and the yard inside it.

Most of our landscaping company's work in the Elko area starts with a fence. Once the yard is enclosed, people want a patio to sit on, a wall to hold the slope back, and grass that isn't a mud pit. We do all of it with the same crew, which means one estimate and one schedule.

Elko yards have their own problems: alkaline soil, hard clay, slopes, and water that shows up in spring and disappears by June. We build for that.

Pavers, retaining walls & drainage

Full lot development

Bring a new lot or unfinished yard together in Elko with lot preparation, grading, drainage, fencing, hardscaping, paver patios, sprinkler systems, retaining walls, sod, and rock. Start with a conversation about the whole property and what you want to build.

Paver patios and walkways

Concrete pavers on a compacted base with proper edge restraint. Patios, walkways, fire pit areas.

Retaining walls

Segmental block walls with drainage behind them. Holds slopes, creates flat yard, doubles as planter beds.

French drains and drainage

Perforated pipe in gravel to move water away from foundations and low spots.

Sprinkler systems

Zoned irrigation for lawn and beds, with a controller you can actually figure out.

Sod, rock, and mulch

New lawns, decorative rock, and low-maintenance beds with plants that live here.

Yard clean-up and grading

Tear-outs, haul-off, regrading, and lot prep for new construction.

Details that make the difference.

Base work

Excavation, compacted gravel base, and sand bed. Pavers fail from the base up, so we don't skimp there.

Walls

Buried first course, gravel backfill, drain pipe behind the wall. Geogrid on taller walls.

Drainage

Sloped pipe, filter fabric, and a real outlet. A French drain with nowhere to drain is a ditch.

Finish

Polymeric sand, clean edges, sod rolled tight to the hardscape.

Landscaping questions

Answers for your project in Elko.

What does full lot development include?

For your outdoor space, it can include lot preparation, grading, drainage, fencing, sprinkler systems, patios, retaining walls, sod, and decorative rock. Craig walks the property with you to agree on the work your lot needs.

How tall can a retaining wall be without an engineer?

Generally up to about four feet. Taller or surcharged walls need engineering, and we'll tell you if yours does.

Will pavers heave in winter?

Not on a proper base with drainage. Frost heave comes from water under the pavers, so we build the base to drain.

Do you do lawn maintenance?

Our Elko landscaping company focuses on projects: clean-ups, installations, and hardscaping. Ask about seasonal clean-ups.

What do you have in mind?

A new fence. A better backyard. A project you've been putting off. Let's talk about it.
