Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost?

Professional landscaping averages $350. Basic lawn care runs $50-$200/month. Complete yard makeovers cost $3,000-$15,000+. Costs depend on lot size, design complexity, and materials.

When is the best time for landscaping projects?

Spring and fall offer ideal planting conditions with moderate temperatures and rainfall. Summer works for hardscaping (patios, paths). Avoid planting during temperature extremes. Plan design in winter for spring installation.

How often should trees be trimmed?

Most trees need trimming every 3-5 years. Fast-growing trees may need annual attention. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately. Late winter/early spring (dormant season) is ideal for most species.

Do I need landscape drainage?

Yes, if you have standing water, basement moisture, or erosion issues. Solutions include French drains, dry wells, grading improvements, or rain gardens. Proper drainage protects foundations and prevents plant disease.

What's the ROI on landscaping?

Quality landscaping returns 100-200% of investment at resale. Curb appeal projects (front yard, mature trees, healthy lawn) offer best ROI. Even simple upgrades like mulch and flowers create strong first impressions for buyers.
