FAQs
As a Tucson homeowner, my palm tree roots are exposed and my rock landscape keeps shifting. Can Harlow Gardens help with these common local issues?
Yes, absolutely. These are frequent challenges in our desert climate. For exposed palm roots, our team can assess the situation and provide solutions like careful grading or creating a protective, decorative well around the base that allows for proper health while improving safety and appearance. For shifting rock landscapes, we specialize in designing and installing stable hardscapes, including proper retaining walls and strategically placed walkways or patios, to anchor the area. Our irrigation design and repair services also ensure water is directed efficiently to plant roots, not under decorative rock, which is a common cause of erosion and shifting.
We want a new patio and retaining wall. Does Harlow Gardens handle the entire construction project, or just the design?
We provide a complete, start-to-finish service. Our in-house landscape designers, with over 50 years of combined experience, will create a custom plan for your patio, terrace, and retaining walls. Then, our own construction and installation crews, who are experts in exterior wall and hardscape construction, will execute the build. This integrated approach ensures the final result matches the design vision with quality craftsmanship, and it provides you with a single, accountable team for the entire project, from the initial concept to the final installation.
My shrubs are struggling with pests and disease. Do you offer ongoing care services in addition to planting new ones?
We do. Our services extend well beyond initial shrub planting. Our maintenance team provides expert shrub care, including pruning, trimming, and transplanting. More importantly, we offer specific insect and disease management services. Our horticulturists can diagnose issues common to Tucson's climate and apply targeted treatments to restore your plants' health. For shrubs that are beyond recovery, we also offer removal and replacement services. Think of us as a long-term partner for keeping your landscape thriving.
