Common Questions

What does your comprehensive design and implementation process involve for a D.C. patio or garden?

Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, the specific conditions of your D.C. property, and your lifestyle needs. Derek Thomas, our certified designer, then creates a tailored plan that integrates elements like hardscaping, plant selection, and irrigation. We manage the entire implementation, from obtaining necessary permits to construction and planting, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to a finished outdoor living space that thrives in our local climate.

My shrubs in D.C. are struggling or dying. Can you help diagnose and fix the problem?

Absolutely. Soil compaction and poor drainage are common issues in our area that stress plant roots. We start with a soil analysis to check for compaction, pH, and nutrient levels. Based on the findings, we may recommend core aeration, soil amendments, or adjusting irrigation practices. Our shrub care services include precise pruning, disease and insect management, and, if necessary, strategic replacement with hardy species better suited to D.C.'s urban environment.

You offer both design and construction. Do I need to hire separate contractors for my landscaping project?

No, we are a full-service firm. As a licensed landscape contractor, we handle both the creative design and the physical construction. This includes everything on our services list, from retaining walls and walkway installation to custom carpentry and irrigation systems. Managing the entire project ourselves ensures quality control, consistent communication, and a cohesive result, saving you the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.
