Common Questions
My yard in Stamford has areas of standing water after it rains. Can you help with drainage issues?
Standing water and soggy lawns are common in many Stamford neighborhoods due to our soil composition. We address this by integrating drainage solutions directly into our hardscaping and landscaping work. This can include properly grading your land during a new patio or walkway installation, constructing French drains, or installing permeable pavers for driveways to redirect water away from your foundation. For existing issues, we can assess and install discreet drainage solutions or regrade affected areas.
Can you handle both the masonry and planting for a new patio project?
Absolutely. As a full-service company, we uniquely manage the entire project from start to finish. We'll construct the durable stone or paver patio foundation and then seamlessly design and install the surrounding plantings, shrubs, and garden beds. This integrated approach ensures cohesive design, proper drainage planning, and a single point of responsibility, saving you time and ensuring a beautiful, unified result for your Stamford home.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance after installing new landscaping?
Yes, we provide comprehensive landscape maintenance to protect your investment. Our services include seasonal lawn care, shrub pruning and trimming, disease and insect management for your plants, and even shrub transplanting if needed. This ongoing care helps your new landscaping thrive in the Stamford climate and maintains the beauty we built together from the very beginning.
