Common Questions
My shrubs in Marathon keep dying. Can your landscaping services help?
Absolutely. This is a common issue we address. Our landscape design service starts with a soil and site analysis to diagnose the problem—often related to salt, poor drainage, or incorrect plant selection. We then design a plan using native, salt-tolerant plants suited for Marathon's climate and install a proper irrigation system to ensure they get the right amount of water without waste, giving your greenery the best chance to thrive.
We need a new deck but are concerned about salt air damage. What do you recommend?
It's a smart concern. For Marathon homes, we recommend and use materials specifically chosen for coastal durability, like certain composite decking or pressure-treated woods with enhanced corrosion-resistant fasteners. Our deck construction process includes design considerations for proper water runoff and ventilation to combat moisture and salt spray, ensuring your new deck is beautiful and built to last in our environment.
Can you design an irrigation system that helps prevent overgrown plants?
Yes, that's a key part of our irrigation design service. Overgrowth is often fueled by inefficient, blanket watering. We design smart, zoned irrigation systems that deliver precise water amounts to specific plant groups based on their needs. This promotes healthier, controlled growth, conserves water, and reduces the maintenance needed to keep hedges and shrubs in check, saving you time and effort.
