Question Answers
How does Contour Design address common Fort Wayne landscaping issues like mulch bed weeds and damaged edging?
We tackle these local challenges with practical, lasting solutions. For mulch bed weeds, we focus on proper bed preparation, using quality mulch that suppresses growth, and can incorporate landscape fabric where appropriate. For damaged edging, we assess the cause—often frost heave or wear—and install durable materials like steel or concrete that withstand our climate. Our maintenance services also include regular edging inspections and weed management to keep your landscape looking clean and intact.
What does your landscape design and construction process involve for a project like a patio or retaining wall?
We start by discussing your goals, budget, and site conditions. Our design phase includes detailed plans for drainage, materials, and layout to ensure functionality and longevity. During construction, we explain each step, from excavation and base preparation to installation and finishing. For patios and retaining walls, we use techniques like proper compaction and reinforcement to prevent settling or shifting in Fort Wayne's soil, ensuring a stable, attractive result that lasts.
Do you offer ongoing care for trees and shrubs after installation?
Yes, we provide comprehensive tree and shrub care, including planting, pruning, disease management, and removal. Our approach emphasizes health and sustainability—we select species suited to our local climate, use proper planting methods to encourage root growth, and offer seasonal pruning and treatments to prevent issues like insect infestations. This ongoing support helps your landscape thrive with minimal long-term problems.
