About Fine Grade

A Design-Build Studio Rooted in the Treasure Valley.

We design and build complete landscapes for homes across Boise, Eagle and the Treasure Valley, usually between $50,000 and $250,000. The designer who draws your plan stays with it until the last plant is in, and our own crews build it.

How we work

Six Promises We Can Keep.

They answer the questions people are often too polite to ask before they call.

  • Design Comes FirstEvery project starts with a site visit, a concept, 3D renderings and an investment estimate that's updated at every meeting. What design includes
  • Ranges Before You CallWe publish what projects typically invest, and the fixed-price proposal matches the final design line for line. The investment guide
  • One Team, Start to FinishOur own crews build what our designers draw, with one project lead and an update every week.
  • Registered and InsuredA registered Idaho contractor with liability and workers' compensation insurance. Before you sign, you receive Idaho's homeowner disclosure.
  • A Written WarrantyWe visit after the first season to check the work.
  • Honest About FitWe don't do maintenance or small repairs. If your project is smaller or much larger than ours usually are, we'll tell you who's better placed.
