Common questions

Residential Landscaping FAQ

Yes. Every project includes an on-site consultation where we discuss layout, materials, plantings, and budget. There's no separate design fee — it's built into the quote.

We select native and climate-adapted species for each project: hostas, daylilies, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, and boxwood are popular choices that thrive in our zone 5b/6a climate.

Absolutely. We run low-voltage LED systems alongside garden bed installation so wiring is buried before mulch goes down. Much cleaner than retrofitting later.
