Will you show me what the design looks like before work starts?

Yes. The team provides 3D landscape design so you can see how everything will look before installation begins.

Do you handle drainage and grading problems?

Yes. Many projects include regrading, proper drainage installation, and retaining borders to manage water flow and site slopes.

How soon do I need to maintain the landscaping after you finish?

Plants need proper care; one reviewer reported plant failure within months, so clarify maintenance expectations and any warranty coverage with the team.
