Q&A
What's included in your comprehensive landscape design and construction packages?
Our design-build approach covers everything from the initial concept to the final installation. For a complete outdoor transformation, our packages typically integrate hardscape elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls with softscape planting, drainage solutions, and lighting. We handle all phases, including earthmoving, masonry, and planting, ensuring a cohesive and professionally built landscape tailored to your DC property's specific needs and style.
My DC lawn has patchy grass and persistent weeds. How do you address this common local issue?
We tackle patchy, weedy lawns with a targeted, multi-step approach. First, we assess soil health and drainage, common underlying issues in our area. Our solution often includes core aeration, targeted regrading for better water flow, and installing fresh sod or a tailored grass seed mix suited to the DC climate. We then implement a proactive maintenance plan, including proper mowing, fertilization, and organic weed control strategies, to help your lawn stay thick and healthy long-term.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the hardscapes and landscapes you install?
Absolutely. We have dedicated teams for seasonal maintenance and cleanups to protect your investment. This includes care for hardscape features like patios and retaining walls, as well as shrub and tree care—pruning, trimming, and health assessments. Our long-term maintenance plans are designed to keep your entire outdoor living space beautiful and functional year-round, giving you one less thing to worry about.
