Your landscaping is not only the first thing people see when they walk up to your home, it also can provide the most bang for your buck when it’s time to sell, increase your home’s curb appeal, and contribute toward positive feelings, well-being, and good health. If you want the landscaping done right, hire a professional. A good designer will ask questions about your lifestyle and goals, then help plan, design, and oversee the implementation of your dream landscape while maximizing your budget.
Anchor Block Company
Who we are:
Anchor Block Company is a premier manufacturer of innovative concrete wall and paver systems. For over 100 years, it’s been our mission to design products that help create stunning outdoor spaces. We are also the exclusive North American manufacturer of Rinn™ paving elements. Rinn is widely recognized by industry experts as the preeminent German manufacturer of high-strength, high-quality paving elements to withstand harsh climates and will look beautiful for years to come.
Our specialty:
Our online Paver Visualizer tool depicts what a patio, driveway, walkway, or pool area can look like with different Anchor™ paver products and colors. It’s a great resource for seeing the possibilities of a project. Also, see our product displays at prominent local dealers for actual color and textures.
Landscaping trends:
Increase the value of your property by extending your lifestyle outdoors with large-scale, contemporary paving elements that complement natural stone and landscaping. Some styles are also available for permeable applications to reduce stormwater runoff. The rich, long-lasting colors of Rinn’s paving elements are suitable for a variety of uses including outdoor kitchens, driveways, walkways, fire pits, and patios, providing the ideal space to barbecue with friends, relax and read a book, and enjoy quality time with family.

About us:
Your property is a place to play, relax, and entertain. As a design and build firm, we work with you—being mindful of your style and goals—to develop perspectives, sketches, and visualizations so you can see the possibilities right outside your front door. From there, we develop master plans and construction documents, and our expert crew builds the projects (structures, stonework, retaining walls, lighting, irrigation, and plantings). We also offer a la carte maintenance services to keep your landscape beautiful season after season.
Our specialty:
Residential landscape design is our sweet spot. We translate your goals into beautiful, functional spaces.
Outstanding project:
We’re excited about a recent project implementing new landscaping that also does its part to protect water quality, featuring a permeable paving driveway and two rain gardens. The landscape claims water from approximately 80 percent of the roof’s runoff. It’s thrilling to be a part of this.
Common landscaping mistakes:
It’s important to hire experienced designers and installers. Also, don’t be afraid of doing a project in phases over a few seasons, based on a master plan.
Outdoor entertaining trends:
It’s all about details that help make a space more comfortable and enjoyable. For example, one of our projects included marine-grade ceiling fans in an open-aired arbor to provide ambient light, a relaxing breeze, and mosquito control. Whatever can extend the use of the outdoor space well into the evening is also popular. This includes tasteful lighting design and the innovative use of fire pits.
