Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a warranty on your landscaping and stonework projects in Richmond?
Yes, we fully guarantee all our work. Our commitment, recognized by the Home Builder's Association's 2011 Best Landscaping Award, extends beyond the final product to the entire installation process. We stand behind the durability of our stonework and the health of our plantings, providing peace of mind for your Richmond property.
I'm dealing with moss taking over my lawn in Richmond. Can you help?
Absolutely. Moss growth often indicates underlying soil or drainage issues common in our area. As a Vermont Certified Horticulturist, owner Matt Leonetti doesn't just treat the symptom. We analyze your lawn's specific conditions—like shade, compaction, or pH—and provide a long-term solution. This may involve aeration, soil amendment, adjusting irrigation, and recommending suitable grass varieties or alternative groundcovers for a healthier, moss-resistant landscape.
You offer both design and construction. How does that integrated process benefit my project?
Our unique strength is having owner Matt Leonetti, who holds a degree in Plant Sciences and Landscape Design, directly oversee projects from concept to completion. This means the visionary plant combinations and sustainable design are executed by the same skilled team handling the stonework and construction. This seamless integration ensures the architectural intent is preserved, materials are expertly installed, and the final landscape is cohesive, functional, and built to our high standards.
