Questions and Answers

How does your design process work for a new irrigation system designed for my Sterling yard?

Yes, absolutely. Our irrigation design service begins with a detailed analysis of your property's specific layout, soil type, and sun exposure. We design systems to provide efficient, even coverage, directly addressing common local issues like dry spots or runoff. As a design/build firm, our team then expertly installs the system, ensuring it's tailored to your landscape's needs for long-term health and water conservation.

What is the difference between your landscape design and landscape building design services?

Our landscape design service creates the overall master plan for your outdoor space, including plant selection and layout. Landscape building design focuses on the structural elements within that plan, such as patios, retaining walls, walkways, and water features. As a licensed landscape architect, Alan Skoog integrates both, ensuring the aesthetic vision and the functional construction details work together seamlessly from the start.

Can you help with tree roots causing damage to my lawn in Sterling?

Yes, this is a frequent challenge in our area. We address it through thoughtful greenscape and landscape design. Solutions may include redesigning the area with shade-tolerant ground covers or permeable hardscapes around tree bases, installing functional yet attractive tree rings, or re-grading and re-sodding affected areas with appropriate soil amendments. Our approach preserves the health of your trees while creating a durable and attractive landscape solution.
