Services
Landscape Installation
We create complete landscape installations tailored to Idaho's climate. Our process includes soil preparation, plant selection, and hardscape integration. Clients receive customized designs that maximize property value and outdoor living potential while ensuring long-term sustainability.
Sprinkler Systems
Custom-designed irrigation systems prioritize water efficiency and system longevity. We install backflow preventers and use commercial-grade components. Each system is engineered for specific site conditions including soil type, sun exposure, and plant water requirements.
Retaining Walls
Functional and decorative retaining walls constructed from natural stone or concrete blocks. Our designs address drainage needs while creating usable yard space. Walls are built to withstand Idaho's freeze-thaw cycles with proper reinforcement and materials.
Pavers
Durable paver installations for driveways, walkways, and patios. We use interlocking concrete pavers that resist cracking from temperature changes. Projects include proper base preparation and edge restraint systems for lasting stability.
Landscape Lighting
Low-voltage lighting systems enhance safety and aesthetics. Our designs highlight architectural features and landscape elements while using energy-efficient LED fixtures. Systems are integrated with existing irrigation and hardscape components.

David and team installed a sprinkler system and new lawn at my home and have zero complaints (he even comes back for summer/winterization!). The 5 day job came in a day early, under budget and looks great.

David did our landscaping about four years ago at our new build home. He is very professional and easy to work with, coming up with a plan that gets us nice comments from neighbors walking by and installing plants that do well in this area. He is quick to respond to any questions we have and handles any maintenance issues as well. We highly recommend David Rains and Highcraft Landscape.

David completed the work when he said he would. He did exactly what we agreed to be done, and came back to adjust the sprinkler system every time I asked him to. So on time, on plan, and stands behind his work. Hence five stars from me.
