Services
Artificial Grass Installation
Transform outdoor spaces with low-maintenance artificial grass that mimics natural turfs appearance while offering superior durability. Our UV-resistant, pet-friendly installations require no mowing or irrigation, making them ideal for residential lawns and commercial properties. With customizable shades and textures, we create year-round green landscapes that withstand heavy use while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Drainage Solutions
Prevent property damage through engineered drainage systems including French drains, dry wells, and rock gardens. Our solutions address saturated soil, standing water, and foundation seepage by redirecting runoff through gravel trenches, underground piping, and strategically placed water features that blend functionality with landscape aesthetics.
Patio Installation
Construct durable, visually appealing patios using interlocking pavers, natural stone, or concrete. We design spaces for entertainment and relaxation, incorporating lighting, built-in seating, and weather-resistant materials that withstand Midwestern climate challenges. Custom layouts consider usability, architectural harmony, and long-term maintenance requirements for both residential and commercial applications.
Hardscaping Design
Enhance outdoor functionality with permanent features like walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. Our designs integrate permeable pavers, fire pits, and water elements to create multi-use spaces that increase property value. Projects combine aesthetic appeal with practical considerations such as erosion control and seasonal adaptability in suburban environments.
Fence Installation
Provide security and privacy through custom fencing using wood, vinyl, aluminum, or chain-link materials. Our installations consider local regulations, climate durability, and architectural compatibility. Offerings include decorative accents, gate automation options, and boundary definition systems that enhance property aesthetics while meeting functional requirements for residential and commercial clients.

Report
Narnia has done a few projects for us. Always on budget and within the schedule. Couldn't recommend them more for brick paver and other landscaping services.
