Frequently Asked Questions
My lawn in Central has patchy, thin grass and my shrubs are overgrown. What's the first step to fix this?
We often see this combination in local yards. The first step is a thorough assessment. For the lawn, we'll diagnose issues like soil compaction, thatch, or improper watering from your irrigation system. For overgrown shrubs, we evaluate their health and structure. Our approach typically involves a tailored plan starting with core aeration and proper fertilization for the grass, followed by strategic pruning or, if needed, removal and replanting of shrubs with varieties better suited to our area. We handle both the immediate cleanup and the ongoing maintenance to prevent the problem from recurring.
What's included in your landscape construction or installation services?
Our landscape construction covers the full transformation of your outdoor space. This includes designing and installing new planting beds with shrubs and seasonal color, laying sod for an instant lawn, building paver patios and walkways, and setting up functional irrigation systems. We also specialize in greenscape construction, which focuses on creating sustainable, visually appealing plant groupings. Think of it as building the permanent foundation of your yard—we handle the grading, hardscaping, and initial planting to ensure your landscape is both beautiful and built to last.
Can you handle both the electrical and aesthetic parts of outdoor lighting?
Yes, absolutely. We offer a complete service for outdoor lighting. Our certified technicians handle the safe electrical installation, repair, and fixture replacement, ensuring everything is up to code. From a design perspective, we then strategically place fixtures to highlight your home's architecture, illuminate pathways for safety, and accent key landscape features like trees or masonry work. This integrated approach means you get a lighting system that is not only reliable and safe but also enhances the nighttime beauty and usability of your property.
