Q&A
As a Lexington homeowner with moss and tree root damage in my lawn, can Rushing Design help beyond just a new design?
Absolutely. Our master site planning service starts with a thorough analysis of your property's specific conditions, including drainage, soil composition, and existing tree health—common factors in moss growth and root damage in our area. We don't just design over problems; we integrate solutions. This can include regrading for better drainage, specifying appropriate plantings, and designing hardscape elements like patios or pathways that work harmoniously with mature trees, transforming problematic areas into stable, beautiful parts of your overall landscape.
What does the 'design/build' process involve for a custom pool and outdoor kitchen project?
Our design/build approach means our licensed landscape architects and construction team work together from start to finish. After an initial consultation to understand your vision, Rick Rushing and our team create a master site plan that cohesively integrates the pool, kitchen, and other amenities with your home and property. We then handle all construction, project management, and coordination of trades, ensuring the design is executed to precise specifications. This single-source responsibility provides continuity, streamlines communication, and helps maintain the project's budget and timeline.
How does your experience with commercial projects benefit residential clients in Lexington?
Our extensive commercial work has honed our skills in large-scale project management, detailed site engineering, and navigating complex regulations. For homeowners, this translates to a highly systematic and professional approach. We bring rigorous planning, an understanding of long-term durability, and expertise in creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also functionally sound and built to last. Whether it's ensuring proper structural support for an outdoor fireplace or planning irrigation for extensive plantings, that commercial-grade discipline is applied to every residential project we undertake.
