Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How soon can we meet to discuss my project and when will I receive an estimate? Generally we are able to schedule a visit to your site within the same week we receive your call. We strive to have your proposal prepared and emailed within three days of our visit.

Q. Am I required to make a down payment?
We require a down payment of 1/3 the proposed amount upon acceptance of the proposal. An additional 1/3 will be required on the start date. We will conduct a final walk through of the project on the day of completion to ensure your satisfaction and answer any final questions you may have. The remaining 1/3 is due at this time.

Q. When will my job be scheduled?
We schedule jobs in the order we receive signed proposals/down payments. We must sometimes shuffle job order dependent on weather.

Q. Can you recommend an irrigation system company?
Certainly! We have an established relationship with two highly reputable and professional companies. Call us for details.

Q. Can my job be completed in phases?
We are happy to work with you to establish a multi-phase plan to achieve all your landscape desires within your budget.

Q. We would like a water feature but we have small children.
A wonderful option would be a pondless water fall in which there is no standing water—or ask about our water bubbling boulders!

Q. What is an “Outdoor Living Area”?
It is an outdoor extension of your home which allows you to entertain, spend time with your family or just unwind after a long day. Outdoor kitchens are becoming increasingly popular.


There is no better way to savor the summer than to eat outdoors. Integrate a dining area into this space and establish a perfect area for gatherings! To ward off chilly nights and create an intimate space for relaxation a fireplace or fire ring is an essential component. A pergola helps keep the open air feeling but provides some relief from the hot afternoon sun. Check our Idea Gallery
for an outdoor living area.

Q. What is the proper way to water my new investment?
Early morning is the best time for irrigation. Water loss from evaporation will be less and the turf will dry quickly in the morning. On average, plantings will usually require 1.5 to 2 inches of water per week . New lawns should be watered 2-3 times per day keeping the top 1/4” wet. Shrubs and other plants should be watered at the base of the plants.

Q. Should I fertilize my lawn?
A well-fed lawn has a better root system to combat heat, cold, drought, and foot traffic. This can be obtained with three to four feedings a year.

Q. When should I mow my new lawn and how often?
Wait to mow until your new lawn is nearly 5” tall. Be sure to set the mower on the highest setting to avoid pulling new roots. Never remove more than 1/3 the blade length. Leave grass longer in dry hot weather to help keep the ground cool and slow evaporation.
