Where do I Start?
Your Landscaping Dream
Is it that overgrown rock bed in the corner (wait, there are rocks in there)? Is it that pathway that always seems to fade away no matter how much gravel you add to it? Or maybe it’s that crumbling retaining wall that catches your eye every time you go near it, looking like it is about to give way?
Landscaping starts with a dream, an idea, a desire to transform a small bed, your yard, or your entire property into something you are proud to show off. From small rock bed revitalization, to reseeding your lawns, to custom pathways, beautiful retaining walls and complete yard transformations, Blue A.R.C. Services LLC, can turn your dreams into reality. Our goal is that each day you can wake up, step outside, and wonder “Am I still dreaming?”
So, what’s your dream?

Good things can come without a plan, but landscaping is not one of them. That is why the first step we will take when you give us a call will be to set up a time to look at your project and understand the vision that you have for your outdoor space. We will walk through the project with you, not only to understand the layout that you want in one place or the type of rock in another, but also to enable us to understand your dream, because when we know your dream, there might be adjustments that can be made to your original plan, that you did not even realize were possible!
We take your ideas and bring your dream to life…or rather build it with rock and retaining wall block!

If you want something slapped together, we are not the company that you are looking for. We believe that the old adage, “You get what you pay for,” applies to most situations in life and most definitely applies to landscaping. At Blue A.R.C. Services LLC, we don’t cut corners. Every product we install (from weed barrier to retaining wall block), is quality material, and our processes are designed to create the best, most long-lasting product possible. Our hope is that when we leave a project, the only reason you call us to come back is because you found one more dream you want to turn into reality.
However, our goal is also to help you find a way to bring your dream to life without breaking the bank. We know that every dollar matters. We have several material suppliers in order to get you the best price possible on quality materials. We are also more than happy to walk through the project plan with you to help figure out what tweaks could cut costs significantly while not sacrificing your overall vision. It is often the case that one type or color of rock can be $40 to $50 less per ton than another type or color. If you are bringing in 10 tons of rock, that adds up pretty quickly. We find it rewarding to work on your dream project and save you money at the same time.

We rarely give estimates here at Blue A.R.C. Services. An estimate is an approximate cost of a project which can be altered as needed to cover materials that were not calculated correctly and man hours that were not accounted for. If you are given an estimate, it is not uncommon for the project to cost you more than the stated price, but how often does it cost you less? We don’t feel this is fair to the customer.
A bid is a fixed amount for the entire project that has been clearly laid out. Unless the project itself needs to be changed in progress, (either due to your choice to tweak it or coming across something major that must be fixed before continuing, such as water not draining away from your foundation), the bid that you receive is the exact amount that you will pay. No hidden fees, no extra material cost, no paying for someone’s inability to correctly calculate the cost of the project.
Here at Blue A.R.C. Services LLC, we only give out estimates for occasional hydroseeding jobs which we have not looked at in person. Otherwise, we always give you bids. If you are unsure if you received a bid or an estimate, just look at the upper right hand corner of the document you received. Above the date, it will say bid or estimate.
We look forward to sending you a bid for your next project!
That’s where we come in:

I’d like a Bid.
From here, we can arrange a time to look at your project together. Here’s where you can explain further details to help us give you an accurate bid. When I come and look at your project in person, the first hour is free if you are within our service area, and after that we have a $50 charge for each additional hour. However, if you decide to accept the bid we will deduct this charge from the project cost.
3.
Accept your bid.
Once we have seen your project and know exactly what you are looking for, we will get you a bid within 48 hours. If you accept the bid before the expiration date (which is generally about 2 weeks from the date it was created), you have now committed to the project and locked in your price. Now all that is left is for us to put you on the books and determine the start date for your project!
Begin!
The Project Begins
When the agreed upon start date arrives, our truck will show up on your site and work will begin! We stay in contact with you throughout the entire project to ensure your vision is realized. Sit back, relax, and watch your dream become a reality!
"We had a general vision for our backyard—features like a fire-pit area, rock and mulch sections for native plants—but no detailed plan. Theo worked closely with us to bring everything together, suggesting creative and practical ideas, including beautiful pathways. We couldn't be happier with the results."
