Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between your landscape design and greenscape design services?
Our landscape design service is the comprehensive planning of your entire outdoor area, including layout, plant selection, and hardscaping elements like patios. Greenscape design focuses specifically on the living, green components—the arrangement of plants, trees, and garden beds to create a cohesive, thriving ecosystem. In Deltona, we design both with our local climate in mind, selecting plants that are well-suited to our environment and planning for proper drainage to support their health.
How can By The Root help with common Deltona issues like mulch bed weeds and exposed palm roots?
These are frequent concerns we address directly in our designs. For mulch bed weeds, we recommend and install quality landscape fabric or use deeper layers of specific mulch types that suppress growth, and we design bed shapes that are easier to maintain. For exposed palm tree roots, a common sight here, we can design around them with creative hardscaping or gentle grading that protects the tree's health while improving the area's usability and appearance, avoiding harmful practices like covering them with soil.
What is the typical process for a custom landscape design project with your team?
It starts with a free consultation where we discuss your vision, budget, and the specific needs of your Deltona property. Our expert team then assesses your site, considering sun exposure, soil, and drainage. We create a detailed design plan that incorporates your desired features, from gardens to patios, and present it for your review. Once approved, we handle the installation, ensuring the project is completed to transform your outdoors into a space you'll love for years to come.
