Calfee Park is at 700 S Washington Ave, which is US 11. Many homes nearby were built in the late 1800s and have Queen Anne porches. We make beds and paths that fit those porches.

Landscaping near Calfee Park in Pulaski means planning for slopes, Peak Creek runoff, and homes from the late 1800s. We build beds, paths, steps, and stone work that hold soil and fit your porch. A wall that holds back over three feet of soil needs a town permit.
If your yard runs along Peak Creek or sits on Valley Road near the Draper Mountain trails, plan for water first. Rain on a slope pulls soil, mulch, and seed downhill fast. A pretty bed will not stay pretty if it washes into the street.
Before we plant, we walk your yard and watch how water moves. We find where it pools, where it runs, and where it leaves your lot.
Then we plan beds, steps, and grass to hold the soil on the slope:
- Beds shaped to catch and slow the water
- Steps that give you a safe way up and down the hill
- Grass and ground cover that keep soil in place
A retaining wall that holds back more than three feet of soil needs a building permit from the town. Shorter garden walls usually do not, unless a building sits above them.
Pulaski has worked with this creek for a long time. In the 1880s, downtown Peak Creek was moved into a straight path and held in by limestone walls. We use the same idea in your yard. We guide the water and give the soil something solid to hold against.
Landscape Projects Near Calfee Park Suit Older South-Side Homes
Most of Pulaski’s south side is inside the Pulaski South Historic Residential and Industrial District. If your home was built between the 1880s and the 1930s and has a Queen Anne porch, your yard should match it.
We plan beds, shade trees, and paths that fit a house with a front porch. A path leads you to the steps. Low beds keep the porch in view. A shade tree cools the front of the house.
The Pulaski Historic Residential District is another older neighborhood we work in. It was laid out in 1884 and 1888. By 1988, it had more than 350 houses.
Yards near First Street Park, along Peak Creek, may need creek-friendly plants and care for the bank. Roots hold the soil in place and keep it from washing into the water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for landscaping near Calfee Park?
No, most landscaping does not need a permit. A retaining wall that holds back more than three feet of soil does, and so does a fence used as a pool barrier. Digging up or moving more than 10,000 square feet of land needs a land disturbance permit from the town. Virginia law also says to call 811 at least three business days before you dig.
Can you fix a steep yard near Valley Road?
Yes, we slow the water on steep yards with terraces and drainage paths. A terrace turns one steep slope into a few flatter steps. A drainage path gives water a place to go, so it does not rush down your yard.
Will new landscaping fit my older south-side home?
Yes, we pick plants and paths that match the age of your home. Pulaski’s zoning rules include a Historic District. Ask the town if your street has any design rules before we start.
