The five-person Talus crew at morning light in a half-built yard, tools in hand

FOUNDED ON A PILE OF ROCKS.

Talus started in 2016 with one truck, one rented excavator, and a client who said 'do whatever, it can't get worse.' It got better. 212 yards better.

Over the fence.

“Our neighbors hired them the week after our patio went in. Then THEIR neighbors did.”

The Okaras, terrace garden

“Casey's crew swept the street. The STREET.”

M. Devlin, cedar deck

“Rowan drew our yard better than it deserved. Then they built the drawing.”

T. Nakamura, meadow lawn

“The side yard used to eat shoes. Now guests ask to see it. The SIDE yard.”

The Brandts, gravel path

“Year two genuinely beat year one. They said it would. I have witnesses.”

FAIR QUESTIONS

Asked at every site walk.

Most fall $12K–$40K. The sketch tool above gets you a range in 20 seconds.

A site walk within two weeks; most builds break ground four to eight weeks after the plan's signed.

Yes — hardscape season. Best pricing of the year.

You, with our calendar — or us, with a seasonal plan. Year two is when it gets good either way.

Ours to pull. Walls over 4 feet, gas lines, and drainage tie-ins all come with paperwork we've filed a hundred times.
