Question Answers
How can you help with a yard in Lancaster that always has standing water and moss?
Standing water and moss are common signs of drainage issues in our area. We start with a site assessment to understand your yard's specific conditions. Our ecological design approach often includes strategic grading, creating rain gardens with native, water-loving plants, and improving soil structure to enhance absorption. Instead of just treating the symptom, we design a landscape that manages water sustainably, turning a problem area into a functional and attractive part of your garden.
What does your landscape design service include for a home garden?
Our design service is a collaborative process focused on your goals and Lancaster's ecology. It begins with a consultation to discuss your vision, followed by a detailed site analysis. We then create a personalized plan that may include edible gardens, native plantings, and functional outdoor living spaces. The plan covers plant selection, irrigation design, and hardscaping, with a focus on low-maintenance, regenerative practices. We can also connect you with our network of local landscapers to bring the design to life.
Do you offer help with specific shrub problems, like diseases or needing removal?
Yes, we provide comprehensive shrub care as part of our holistic landscape management. For diseased or insect-affected shrubs, we first identify the issue using ecological principles, often recommending organic or targeted solutions that support overall garden health. For removal or transplanting, we assess the shrub's condition and location to determine the best course of action, ensuring it's done safely and with consideration for the surrounding plants and soil. Our goal is always to maintain or improve the balance of your landscape.
