Frequently Asked Questions About Sustainable Landscaping

Do native plant gardens require less maintenance than turfgrass?

Yes, once established, a well-designed native plant garden will typically require less water, fewer inputs like fertilizer, and less ongoing care than a lawn that needs mowing each and every week. We’ll help you understand what to expect and provide a custom care guide.

What’s the average investment for a project like this?

Garden installation typically ranges from $500 to $5,000, with some projects going higher depending on scope. Long-term maintenance plans to keep your outdoor spaces thriving begin at $150 a month and up for garden maintenance and less for e-mowing alone.

Can you help if I don’t know where to start?

Absolutely. We start with an on-site consultation with one of our experienced Project Mangers to discuss your goals and guide you through the process, from soil conditions and sun exposure to aesthetics, budget, and timeline.
