Landscape project costs are highly customized and depend entirely on factors like the size of the area, complexity of the design, types of materials selected (e.g., basic pavers vs. natural stone), extent of planting, inclusion of features like lighting or hardscapes, and site preparation needs. During the initial consultation, we'll discuss your budget goals along with your vision. Our detailed proposal will provide a clear, itemized breakdown of costs before any installation work begins, ensuring transparency. Think of it as an investment that enhances your property's value and your enjoyment of it.

We understand your time is valuable! Your primary involvement is crucial during the initial consultation (to share your vision and needs) and during the design review/approval stage (to ensure the plan aligns with your expectations). Once installation begins, our experienced team manages the day-to-day execution. We handle material sourcing, scheduling, and project oversight. While we provide regular updates, your daily involvement during installation is typically minimal unless unforeseen decisions arise, which we would discuss with you promptly.

The initial consultation is an exciting first step! Our representative will meet you at your property for an in-person discussion and site evaluation. We'll walk the space together, listen to your ideas, discuss your goals (how you want to use the space, problems you want to solve), talk about style preferences, and get an understanding of your budget range. To prepare: Think about your main objectives, gather any inspiration photos you like (from magazines, Pinterest, etc.), and be ready to discuss your priorities for the space. Knowing your HOA guidelines, if applicable, is also helpful.

This is key to a successful, lasting landscape! Our team has deep local horticultural knowledge. We select plants specifically suited for Central Indiana's climate (USDA Hardiness Zones 5b/6a), considering factors like cold hardiness, heat tolerance, and typical rainfall patterns. We also assess the specific conditions of your property, such as sun exposure (full sun, shade, part shade) and soil type, to choose the "right plant for the right place." We often recommend incorporating hardy native plants and cultivars known to perform well locally.

Absolutely. Our design process is collaborative and aims to integrate any existing landscape elements you wish to retain, provided they are healthy and structurally sound. We can design around mature trees, incorporate existing patios or walkways, or renovate specific sections while preserving others. We are also accustomed to working within Homeowner Association (HOA) guidelines – just provide us with a copy of your specific requirements, and we will ensure the design complies.

A professional design provides a cohesive roadmap that saves time and prevents costly mistakes in the long run. It ensures all elements work together harmoniously, maximizes both beauty and functionality, and selects the right plants and materials for your specific site and goals before installation begins. Without a thoughtful plan, installations can become piecemeal, resulting in a less integrated look, potential plant failures, or the need for future rework. A professional design is an investment in a well-executed, beautiful, and functional landscape that truly meets your needs and adds lasting value.
