Frequently Asked Question
IF I ALREADY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT, WHY DO I EVEN NEED DESIGN SERVICES OR CONSULTATION?
This is a very good question. Creating a pleasing and lasting landscape project is more than simply digging holes, laying sod, and stacking stones. Every site has its own unique set of issues which need to be addressed. Items such as sun exposures, site drainage, grading, and a number of other conditions can have a dramatic impact on whether or not the finished project will stand the test of time and function as it was intended. During the course of preparing your landscape design and planning of each project, we record and analyze all the issues which will affect the final results, including follow up maintenance. With this information, we can proceed with a game plan which, in the end, will add to your complete satisfaction, as well as saving you money by addressing these issues before the project begins.
