Question Answers
Can you help design and build a complete backyard project, like a patio with planting beds?
Absolutely. As a full-service landscape design and construction company, we handle projects from concept to completion. Our team, including certified nursery professionals, will work with you to design a cohesive outdoor living space. We can install hardscapes like patios and retaining walls, create functional planting beds with shrubs and perennials from our garden center, and integrate features like irrigation or lighting. This integrated approach ensures your new patio and gardens are built to last and thrive in our local climate.
What is your process for dealing with common local issues like soil compaction and weeds in mulch beds?
For soil compaction, which is common in our area, we use techniques like core aeration and amending the soil with organic matter to improve drainage and root health before planting. To manage weeds in mulch beds, we recommend and can install a quality landscape fabric barrier beneath fresh mulch during installation. For existing beds, our landscape maintenance services include manual weeding and applying pre-emergent treatments at the right time of year to prevent new weeds from taking hold, keeping your gardens healthy and low-maintenance.
Do you offer services for existing irrigation systems, or do you only install new ones?
We provide comprehensive irrigation services. Our team can design and install a new, efficient system tailored to your landscape. We also offer repair and maintenance for existing systems, which is crucial for water efficiency and plant health. This includes fixing leaks, adjusting sprinkler heads for proper coverage, performing seasonal start-ups and winterizations, and updating older controllers. Properly maintaining your system saves water and protects your investment in your lawn and gardens.
