Patios and walls give a yard its structure. Planting gives it life. The right trees, shrubs, and beds soften hard edges, add colour through the seasons, and frame your outdoor living space. But planting fails when it is rushed. Wrong plant for the spot, poor soil, or bad spacing means half of it dies or outgrows the bed in a year.
McCoy plans and plants yards that fill in the way they should. We pick plants that suit your light, soil, and space, then plant them with proper soil prep and spacing so they thrive. As a design-build company, we plan your planting alongside your patios and walls, so the soft and hard elements work together.

Most planting projects take a few days to 1 week on-site, depending on size. Spring and fall are the best planting seasons, so book ahead.
Every project is scoped to the size of the beds, the number and size of plants, and the soil work needed. There is no flat guessing over the phone. We build the written estimate after the on-site visit, so the number you see is the number you pay. No surprises, no escalations.
It depends on the size of the beds, the number and size of plants, and the soil work needed. A few new shrubs cost far less than a full front-yard makeover with trees. We give you a written estimate after the on-site visit, not a guess over the phone.
Spring and fall are the best planting seasons because the weather is mild and roots settle in well. We can plant through the summer too with the right care and watering. We help you plan the timing during the consultation.
