Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our landscape design, irrigation, lighting, and outdoor living services—all in one place.

What is the benefit of a professionally installed irrigation system?

A professionally installed irrigation system saves time, conserves water, and ensures that your landscape receives the right amount of water. Smart irrigation systems can be easily adjusted to meet the seasonal needs of your lawn, garden, and plants, significantly reducing water waste and enhancing your landscape's health. Over time, this investment will increase the value of your property by keeping your lawn and garden lush and green year-round.

How often should I service my irrigation system?

To keep your irrigation system running smoothly, we recommend three annual routine visits:

  • Spring Startup – Activate your system, check plumbing, and adjust the program.

  • Mid-Season Check – Evaluate system performance, check for dry or wet areas, and reset controllers as needed.

  • Fall Winterization – Shut down the system, drain pipes, and prepare it for winter to avoid damage.

​

These visits help extend the lifespan of your system and ensure optimal water efficiency.

3

How can landscape lighting improve my property?

Landscape lighting increases the safety, security, and beauty of your outdoor spaces. Properly installed lighting can highlight walkways, stairs, patios, and pools, reducing the risk of injury. It also adds ambiance and depth to your landscape, making your property more inviting both for relaxing and entertaining. Landscape lighting can extend the usability of your outdoor areas well into the evening, helping you enjoy your yard year-round.

4

What is the difference between LED and traditional landscape lighting?

LED landscape lighting has several advantages:

  • Energy Efficiency – LEDs use 75% less energy than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs, saving you money on your energy bills.

  • Longevity – LEDs last 40,000 to 50,000 hours, compared to the 2,000 hours of traditional bulbs.

  • Lower Operating Temperature– LEDs stay cool, which prevents wasted energy.

  • Flexible Design – LED systems allow for more fixtures per wire run and less power usage, making them more efficient and adaptable to your design needs.

7

Can I incorporate water features into my landscaping design?

Yes, water features like ponds and waterfalls can be a stunning addition to your yard. Not only do they create a relaxing ambiance, but they also improve the aesthetics of your property. We use modern techniques and equipment to ensure that your water feature is low maintenance and eco-friendly, often integrating water plants and fish to maintain the natural balance of the ecosystem. Landscaping elements like ornamental trees and perennial plants enhance the overall beauty of your water feature.

8

How do you handle irrigation system winterization?

Proper winterization is crucial to protect your irrigation system from freezing temperatures. Our fall service includes turning off the water supply, draining pipes, and using compressed air to remove water from the system, ensuring that nothing freezes or bursts during the colder months. This service is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your irrigation system.
