FAQ

Landscaping Questions We Hear Most

How much does a paver patio cost in Syracuse, NY?

Cost depends on patio size, paver style, site access and how much excavation and base preparation is needed. After a site visit we provide a detailed estimate so you know exactly what is included.

When should I plan my landscaping project?

Fall and winter are the best time to design. Your plan is finished and your project is on the schedule, ready to build as soon as the ground thaws in spring.

Is low voltage landscape lighting worth it?

Yes. Low voltage LED landscape lighting uses very little energy, lasts for years, makes walkways and steps safer, adds security and dramatically improves curb appeal after dark.

Do I need a retaining wall for my sloped yard?

Often, yes. A properly built retaining wall controls erosion, manages water and creates level, usable space. Taller walls may require engineering and permits, which we help coordinate.

Do you handle both design and installation?

Yes. We are a design-build landscape company. We create the plan and our own crews install it, from hardscaping and plantings to lighting, pools and water features.
