Landscape Design-Build Process
What is the difference between landscape design and design-build?
✔ Landscape Design – We create a detailed plan for your space, but you can handle the installation yourself, we can collaborate on an installation or we can install it for you (see below).
✔ Design-Build – We design your landscape and install it for you, ensuring the vision comes to life seamlessly.

The timeline depends on the project size and complexity. Design projects can take 2–3 weeks, while installation varies from a few days to several months.

Native & Sustainable Landscaping
What are native shrubs, and why should I use them in my landscape?
Native shrubs are woody plants that occur naturally in North America. They may be found in forests, prairies, wooded areas, alongside bodies of water, in deserts, or on mountains. They can be big, small, or anywhere in between. When you choose native plants, you’re planting something that has evolved alongside native wildlife, thus offering them a reliable option for food, shelter, or reproduction. Planting native shrubs isn’t the only part of making your environment more friendly to pollinators and wildlife, but it’s an easy step you can take that benefits you and your home as much as them.
✔ Low maintenance – Adapted to local climate and soil.
✔ Wildlife-friendly – Supports pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects.
✔ Drought-tolerant – Requires less water and fertilizers.
✔ Beautiful year-round – Offers seasonal interest and natural beauty.
Will native shrubs look wild or weedy in my landscape?
No. We select the native species in our line specifically to work better in home landscapes than their wilder cousins. This means selecting for a tidier habit, shorter stature, and stronger stems, as well as for eye-catching flowers and foliage.
Can I mix native & non-native plants in my landscape?
Yes, you can absolutely mix them together and it won’t harm insects or birds. In fact, this strategy was the first step for many on their journey to become native plant gardeners. But every journey starts with a single step, so even small actions can have a big impact over time. Don’t be afraid to start with just one.
What about pruning native shrubs?
Pruning native shrubs is at your discretion. You may want to prune something like, say, Gem Box inkberry holly, for a formal look, or let it go. You may want to prune the Incrediball smooth hydrangeas so that they develop sturdier stems. You will find information on pruning your Proven Winners ColorChoice native shrubs on their tags as well as on this website.
How can I make my landscape more sustainable?
We incorporate rain gardens, native meadows, permeable paving, and organic soil practices to create landscapes that work with nature.
Do you offer rain garden or stormwater management solutions?
Yes! We specialize in designing rain gardens, nature inspired dry streams, bioswales, and permeable landscapes that reduce runoff and improve drainage.
Other Important Questions
Do I need permits for my landscaping project?
It depends on the scope of work. We handle permits and regulations as needed for your project.
Can you work with existing features in my yard?
Yes! We can redesign around existing plants, patios, or hardscapes, blending them into a fresh design.
What’s the best time of year to start a landscaping project?
Spring and fall are ideal for planting, but we design and build landscapes year-round.
