    My name is Nils Ruona. I come from a family of old-school craftsmen, having worked alongside my father, who worked alongside his father & uncle; a line of concrete and masonry contractors, carpenters, builders and master gardeners. This perfect mix of trades passed down opens up so many more options to you. Dare to dream bigger.

    How We Work

    We work closely with our clients because we want to develop a trusted relationship that lasts for decades. If you recommend Rhinamic.com, we proudly put our reputation behind your word.

    Most homeowners have big dreams, so we look at the big picture. In our initial meeting, we want to hear about your vision, previous challenges, unique needs and desires, so that we can buy into your mindset. We’ll then develop a design, tweak it with your input and put together the vision plan.

    The plan is a series of finite project phases, with the things you want accomplished first prioritized. We build in sensible cut-off points for subsequent projects. Planned project phases make so much more sense, allowing you to budget wisely and continue where you left off without having to re-do stuff you’ve already paid for.

    Our Body of Work

    As you scroll through our picture galleries, please notice the details … they are a testament to our quality, backed up by comments from repeat clients.

    Each project started with a “Well, this is what I was hoping for . . .” and we applied ourselves to collaborating with homeowners on that dream. Now imagine we apply ourselves to your home, and create your ‘something special”. We’d love to make you proud.

    Landscaping

    LANDSCAPING needs to look captivating before one plant is set in the ground. To break up lack-luster terrain we 

    • create decks and shade structures
    • sculpt gardens in multi-level tiers
    • contour using retaining walls
    • control water with dry creek beds
    • build rock gardens for interest
    • design pathways to points of interest
    • incorporate raised gardens
    • use interesting ground textures (lawns, mulch, decomposed granite, pebbles, vines and other ground cover plants.

    Structures

    STRUCTURES are an essential part of landscape design. Add next-level spectacular by including

    • a deck
    • a shade structure
    • an arbor
    • an improved fence or
    • a pathway meandering through the yard

    Xeriscaping

    XERISCAPING is the longest lasting, easiest to maintain and most economical way to go. That term doesn’t mean desert barrenness. Having studied micro-climates within a yard, we skillfully marry environmentally adapted plants, colors, heights and textures with the most suitable locations. As the home owner, you’ll love how easy it is to maintain them and how little it takes to make them spectacular.

    Surprises

    SURPRISES: Every garden must have hidden secrets or surprises. Not all features should be evident from a single vantage point. Add a seating area to gain a new perspective. Each yard is unique and so, too, will yours be. We look forward to working with you.
