Frequently Asked Questions
Can you design and build a complete outdoor living space, including hardscapes and irrigation, here in Mead?
Yes, absolutely. As a full-service landscape architecture firm, we handle every phase from initial concept to final construction. For a Mead homeowner, this means we can design your patio, walkways, and retaining walls, then our own construction team installs them, ensuring the design vision is faithfully executed. We also integrate practical elements like custom irrigation systems from the start, designed for our local soil and climate to promote healthy plant growth while conserving water.
What makes your water features different from other landscapers in the Spokane area?
Founder Dave Nelson is credited with bringing new water feature materials and construction techniques to our region. Our team combines landscape architecture with artistic craftsmanship, allowing us to create unique features—from serene garden streams to dramatic commercial installations—that are built to last. We have specific experience with complex projects like river modifications, which translates to skilled engineering and a deep understanding of water flow and ecosystem integration for any scale of project.
How can your landscape design help prevent common local issues like lawn fungus or weeds in mulch beds?
Good landscape design is the first defense against these common Mead-area problems. Our designs promote healthy turf through proper grading for drainage, which reduces the standing water that encourages fungus. We select plant varieties suited to our climate that are more resistant to disease. For mulch beds, our construction includes quality weed barriers beneath hardscapes and walkways, and we can advise on the best organic mulches and planting strategies to suppress weeds naturally, reducing maintenance for you.
