ABOUT US

“We are an expert landscape contractor in South Lake Tahoe and deeply committed to ensuring your experience with us is positive. We will work tirelessly to exceed your expectations.”
—Josh Forte,
Founder & Owner

My upbringing in South Lake Tahoe was deeply influenced by my parents, Doug and Daphne Forte, who were involved in all aspects of the community. Their involvement taught me the value of being part of a close-knit, supportive community and the power of interconnection. I aim to carry forward their legacy by building upon the connections they established. Even after 30 years in business, I rely on our community’s strength and the power of word-of-mouth to keep our crews busy.

Earth & Stone Landscapes retaining wall example in the Tahoe area.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls will bring both form and function to your landscape. Retaining walls are most commonly used when a property has sloped grades. Constructing a retaining wall allows the creation of flat, useable space in an otherwise unusable area. Alternate uses include: erosion control, raised planter beds, and seating walls. Retaining walls can be created from dry-stacking natural stone, prefabricated wall systems, or wood.
