Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Landscape & Garden Design
Q: What kind of landscape projects do you handle?A: We handle a wide variety of projects for homeowners in Albany, Saratoga, Troy, and the surrounding Capital Region. Our services range from designing and installing a simple, beautiful garden bed to a complete front or backyard transformation that includes patios, walkways, and a full planting scheme. Our goal is to create an outdoor space that perfectly matches your vision and lifestyle.
Q: I have some ideas for my yard, but I don't know where to start. Can you help?A: Absolutely! That's what we're here for. Our process is a creative partnership. It begins with an on-site consultation where we listen to your ideas, discuss your needs and budget, and help you refine your vision into a concrete plan that we can bring to life.
Q: How do you choose plants that will survive and thrive in the Albany area?A: This is a crucial part of our design process. We have extensive knowledge of species that perform well in our specific New York climate, with its cold winters and humid summers. During our site analysis, we assess your property's unique sunlight and soil conditions to select the perfect trees, shrubs, and perennials that are not only beautiful but also sustainable and well-suited to your yard.
Q: Is your service just for planting, or do you also build things like patios and walkways?A: We are a full-service design and installation company. In addition to all aspects of planting, we design and construct "hardscape" elements. This includes patios, pathways, retaining walls, and other features that provide structure and functionality to your outdoor space.
Q: What is the first step in your design process?A: The first step is our initial on-site consultation. We'll walk your property with you, discuss your goals, and perform a site analysis. From there, we develop a custom design plan tailored specifically for you, outlining the layout, plant selections, and hardscape features.
Q: Do you offer maintenance services after the new landscape is installed?A: Yes, we do. We want your garden to look its best for years to come. We offer a range of ongoing care services, including seasonal cleanups in the spring and fall, pruning, weeding, mulching, and planting seasonal annuals to ensure continuous color.
Q: I have some mature shrubs and trees that I love. Can you incorporate them into a new design?A: Definitely. During our site analysis, we take stock of your property's existing features, including plants you wish to keep. We will create a design that thoughtfully integrates your favorite mature plants, ensuring they harmonize with the new elements.
Q: What does the installation process involve?A: Our professional installation service handles every detail. This includes thorough soil preparation and grading, expert installation of all plants, creation of garden beds, construction of hardscape elements, and the application of mulch or other ground coverings. We manage the entire project to ensure a seamless and high-quality result.
Q: How do I get an estimate for my landscape project?A: Getting started is easy. Simply contact us to schedule your initial on-site consultation. Following our meeting and analysis, we will provide you with a detailed design plan and an estimate for the full installation.
