Frequently asked questions

What does landscaping cost?
Every property is different. After we see your space and priorities, we’ll outline phased options so you can align scope with budget.
How long should I expect my project to take?
Timing depends on design rounds, plant availability, and weather. Small refreshes may take days; full installations can span multiple weeks — we’ll spell out milestones up front.
How do I know I’ll like the design?
We iterate with you on plant palettes, materials, and layout before we break ground — no surprises.
How do you stand behind quality?
We select healthy plant material, prepare soil properly, and set irrigation for long-term success. Ask Art on a call about care after install.
What warranties or guarantees do you offer?
Coverage varies by scope and materials; we’ll document what applies to your project in writing.
