Questions and Answers
Do you grow the plants you sell, and why does that matter for my Shelbyville garden?
Yes, we grow a significant portion of our unique plant material, like Japanese maples and ginkgo biloba, right here in our on-site greenhouses. This matters because plants grown locally in Shelbyville are already acclimated to our specific Kentucky soil and climate. They experience less transplant shock and establish themselves more successfully in your garden compared to plants shipped from distant growers, giving your investment a stronger start.
Can you help with common local issues like poor lawn drainage or patchy sprinkler coverage?
Absolutely. Our landscape design and installation services specifically address Shelbyville's common grading and irrigation challenges. We assess your property's unique drainage patterns and can redesign slopes or install French drains to correct water pooling. For irrigation, we design and install efficient systems with proper zone coverage to eliminate dry spots and ensure your lawn and plantings receive consistent water, promoting healthier growth and conserving resources.
What does your landscape design process involve from start to finish?
Our process begins with a consultation at your home in Shelbyville or the surrounding area. We listen to your vision, assess your property's conditions, and then create a personalized design plan. This plan can include plant selection from our nursery, hardscape elements like patios or walkways, and layout for proper drainage. Once you approve the design, our experienced crew handles the complete installation, followed by product delivery of any additional materials like mulch, ensuring a seamless transformation of your outdoor space.
