FAQs
How do you handle common Asheville issues like mulch bed weeds and patchy lawn grass?
We address these issues at their root by improving the underlying landscape. For patchy lawns, we assess and correct drainage and soil health, often recommending a transition to low-maintenance ground covers or native grasses that thrive here. For persistent weeds in mulch beds, our approach includes proper bed preparation, using quality mulch, and installing dense, layered plantings that naturally suppress weeds. Our designs focus on creating a healthy, balanced ecosystem that minimizes these common problems without relying on constant chemical treatments.
What does your landscape design process involve from start to finish?
Our process begins with understanding your vision and the unique characteristics of your Asheville property. With a background in horticulture and decades of local experience, we create a cohesive design plan that incorporates practical elements like drainage and retaining walls with aesthetic features such as patios, walkways, and custom water features. We handle all construction and installation, followed by selecting and planting a diverse mix of shrubs and plants for year-round interest. The goal is a complete, functional outdoor space that requires minimal ongoing maintenance from you.
Can you build functional structures like retaining walls and patios as part of a natural design?
Absolutely. In fact, integrating functional construction with natural aesthetics is a specialty. We construct retaining walls, patios, driveways, and exterior living spaces using materials like natural stone that complement the Western NC environment. These elements are engineered for durability and proper drainage, which is crucial in our region, while being designed to look like a natural extension of the landscape. This blend of construction expertise and ecological design creates outdoor areas that are both usable and beautifully integrated with the surroundings.
