Frequently Asked Questions
What does your landscape design process involve for a new patio or walkway in Woodstock?
Our process starts with a consultation to understand your vision and the specific conditions of your Woodstock property. We then use computer-aided design (CAD) services to create a detailed plan, allowing you to visualize the final outcome for elements like brick paver patios, stamped concrete, or walkways. This plan integrates practical considerations like drainage and material selection suited to our local climate. Once approved, our award-winning construction team handles the installation, ensuring a seamless transition from design to a durable, finished outdoor living space.
I have a leaky sprinkler system and bare patches in my lawn. Can you help?
Absolutely. These are common issues for Woodstock homeowners. Our team specializes in irrigation repair and design to efficiently locate and fix leaks, conserving water and saving you money. For bare lawn patches, we diagnose the underlying cause—which could be related to soil quality, drainage, or irrigation coverage—and provide targeted solutions. This may include lawn aeration, overseeding, soil amendment, or adjusting your irrigation system as part of our comprehensive landscape maintenance services to restore a healthy, uniform green lawn.
Do you handle both the design and construction of complex projects like retaining walls?
Yes, we are a full-service design-build firm. For structural projects like retaining walls, our licensed landscape designers create plans that are both aesthetically pleasing and engineered for stability and proper drainage. Our own construction crew then executes the build, ensuring the design intent is perfectly realized. This integrated approach means better communication, accountability, and a single point of contact from the initial concept through to the completion of your retaining wall, patio, or other landscaping building project.
