Landscape FAQs
Landscape design involves planning and creating outdoor spaces that combine aesthetics and functionality. This includes selecting plants, arranging hardscape elements like patios and walkways, and incorporating ecological or thematic ideas. Installation is the process of bringing these plans to life through planting, building structures, and setting up features such as water elements or lighting to create a cohesive outdoor environment.
Native plants are naturally adapted to the local climate, soil, and wildlife, making them easier to maintain and more resilient than non-native species. They support local ecosystems by providing food and habitat for birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Using native plants also conserves water and reduces the need for fertilizers and pesticides, making your landscape more sustainable.
