Common Questions
As a licensed civil engineer, how does Todd Gunnell's background benefit my Wilmington landscape project?
Todd's professional engineering and architectural experience brings a level of structural integrity and precise design planning not always found in landscaping. This is especially valuable for complex projects like building additions, retaining walls, or new structures, where proper drainage, load-bearing considerations, and long-term stability are critical in our coastal soil conditions. It ensures your project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also soundly constructed.
My irrigation timer keeps failing and my shrubs are struggling. Can you help diagnose and fix this common Wilmington issue?
Absolutely. We frequently address these interrelated problems. A failing timer often leads to inconsistent watering, which stresses plants in our climate. We provide expert irrigation design and installation services, repairing or replacing faulty components with reliable systems. Simultaneously, we assess your struggling shrubs—considering soil, drainage, and sun exposure—and can redesign or replace plantings with species better suited to local conditions, ensuring a healthy, sustainable landscape.
Do you handle the entire process for a custom patio or outdoor living space, from design to construction?
Yes, we offer a complete turnkey service. Our process begins with a custom landscape design consultation, where we listen to your vision for patios, walkways, fire pits, or terraces. As a design-build firm, we then handle all construction and installation, including excavation, base preparation, masonry work, and finishing details. This seamless approach, managed by our experienced team, ensures the final build accurately reflects the planned design with quality craftsmanship.
