Common Questions
What's included in your full-service landscape design and installation process for Glen Allen homes?
Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision. As a Licensed Class A Contractor, we handle everything from initial design and permitting to the final construction and planting. This includes hardscape elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls, as well as softscape design, irrigation systems, and finishing shrub and plant installation. We manage the entire project with a focus on clear communication and quality control, ensuring a seamless experience from concept to completion for your Glen Allen property.
How do you address common local issues like moss in lawns and irrigation timer problems?
For Glen Allen lawns, moss often indicates drainage, shade, or soil pH issues. We don't just remove it; we diagnose the underlying cause and correct it through soil amendment, grading adjustments, or recommending suitable shade-tolerant turf. For irrigation timer failures, a common local headache, our certified designers and installers can repair existing systems or design and install a new, efficient system with smart controllers that are easier to manage and can help conserve water.
As a design/build firm, can you handle both the creative design and the construction of complex projects like outdoor kitchens?
Absolutely. Our founder, Tim Sanford, is a landscape designer with a construction management background, which is central to our design/build approach. We create the design with construction practicality in mind, ensuring your outdoor kitchen or living space is not only beautiful but also structurally sound and built to last. As a Class A licensed contractor, we directly manage all construction phases, from the patio base and exterior walls to utilities and finishes, ensuring the final build perfectly matches the designed vision.
