FAQs
We have bare spots and compacted soil in our Riverside yard. Can you help?
Absolutely. This is a common challenge in our area. We begin by assessing your soil's specific conditions, then use tailored techniques like core aeration to relieve compaction and improve root growth. For bare spots, we select hardy, region-appropriate grasses or ground covers and implement a precise planting and irrigation plan to ensure healthy, lasting coverage that integrates seamlessly with your existing landscape.
What does the design and construction process look like for a new patio or walkway?
Our process is collaborative and thorough. Sandy leads the initial design, blending your ideas with her expertise in materials and English-inspired aesthetics. From driveway and walkway construction to patio and retaining wall installation, our on-site crew handles all construction with close supervision. We manage every phase, from irrigation design to the final shrub planting, ensuring a cohesive and beautifully finished outdoor living space.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for specialized features like topiary or herb gardens?
Yes, we provide dedicated landscape and shrub care to preserve the health and form of your garden. Our maintenance services include seasonal pruning and trimming for topiary, disease and insect management for shrubs, and the specialized care required for herb and vegetable gardens.
