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 crew builds it, with any subcontractors managed by the same project lead.

From our clients
In Their Own Words.
What clients say about working with Dillon and the team.
We hired Dillon … to two tier our backyard retaining wall, rebuild and expand a paver patio and clean up the side of the house that had been destroyed while trenching for a gas line to our bbq. He was able to do most of the work in the winter and finished up the rest this spring. We are more than thrilled with the finished project. Dillon and his team took the time to understand our vision, offered helpful suggestions and executed everything beautifully.
We worked with Dillon to remove and replace a failing retaining wall. We were on a limited budget, but the wall was causing safety issues for our toddlers in our backyard. Dillon worked with us to find a solution which was within our budget and would also give our yard the balance and esthetics it deserved. His crew was clean and tidy during the entire process. Our HOA complimented the work as well and we have shared his contact with multiple neighbors who love the new wall in our yard.
Great work, attention to detail. Solid communication from the beginning. The process was explained clearly and all options given, including those that would save money. Would highly recommend.
