Questions and Answers

What does your landscape design and construction process look like for a new patio or outdoor living space?

Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, usage needs, and budget. Zack, our founder and a Purdue-trained Landscape Architect, then creates a custom design plan that considers your property's specific layout, sun exposure, and drainage. We handle all construction in-house, from excavation and base preparation to the installation of pavers, walls, and any integrated features like lighting or irrigation. We maintain clear communication throughout, ensuring the final build matches the design and your expectations for a durable, functional outdoor space.

As a Maple Park homeowner, how do you address common issues like bare lawn patches or damage from tree roots?

These are familiar challenges in our area. For bare patches, we diagnose the cause—whether it's soil compaction, poor drainage, or wear—and correct it before reseeding or sodding with grass varieties suited to our local climate. For lawn damage from surface tree roots, we offer solutions that protect the tree's health. This can include carefully grading and adding a shallow layer of topsoil and shade-tolerant turf, or redesigning the area with a decorative mulch bed or ground cover around the tree base, creating an attractive feature while solving the problem.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance for the landscapes you install, including shrub care and seasonal clean-up?

Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance to protect your investment. Our services include seasonal shrub pruning and trimming to promote healthy growth, disease and insect management using targeted strategies, and annual planting refreshes. We also handle seasonal clean-ups, irrigation system winterization and spring start-ups, and lawn care. For many of our clients, having the same team that built their landscape provide the maintenance ensures consistency and a deep understanding of the specific plants and systems on their property.
