Frequently Asked Questions
How much will landscaping my backyard cost?
Knowing how much your project will cost depends on us knowing what you would like to have, the types of materials we’ll be using, the size of your backyard, access to it and many more factors.
Since every project is unique in its own way, we recommend that you send us a quick quote form with some of your project details and we can get back to you with a fairly accurate quote.
Will you take care of things like permits and coordinating different trades people?
Absolutely, and that’s a big part of what we do.
We will take care any needed permits and oversee the entire job, including the hiring of any subcontractors for specialty trades (gas, carpentry, plumbing, etc.).
Do you provide any guarantees?
We sure do, although you can rest assured that you won’t actually need them.
Workmanship on all hardscaping products is warrantied for two years and we guarantee our quotes & pricing, too.
You’re totally covered from start to finish and beyond.
How do you guarantee something like pricing?
It’s pretty simple, actually.
Once the final Scope of Work is agreed to – and a final price is set – we stick to that price.
The only exceptions would be coming up against something unforeseeable (like a giant rock hidden in the ground) OR you decide to add something to the project after we begin.
Other than that, you can expect to pay whatever you agreed to pay in the first place.
I'm not a fan of surprises. Will I know what my backyard will look like before you start the work?
We don’t like surprises, either, which is why we also offer several design packages that include 2D concept renderings and full, 3D renderings.
Opting for a design package will mean that every inch of your project will be visualized and accounted for beforehand.
There won’t be any surprises.
I've heard there are major swimming pool delays because of COVID. Is that true?
COVID-19 took everyone by surprise and the manufacturers in almost every industry were no exception.
That aside, we maintain strong relationships with all of our dealers and are working hard to ensure that any delays are minimized.
If you would like to have a swimming pool installed, please get your request for a quote in to us as early as possible.
How much of a deposit do you ask for up-front?
Once the Scope of Work on your project has been established, we will ask for a 20% deposit.
As soon as we receive your deposit, we will present you with a backyard landscaping contract to reserve your spot in our schedule.
For a Start-To-Finish understanding of what it’s like to work with us, please visit our Process page.
Will you be leaving a mess for us to deal with?
Once the job is complete, none at all.
During the work phase, we will do our best to keep the mess, dust and noise to a minimum.
We’re sticklers for details and the only thing we’ll leave behind is a beautiful backyard for you and your family to enjoy.
How long will it take you to finish our project?
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to predict an end-date without knowing the details of your specific project,.
Knowing this, what we can tell you is that our aim is to complete projects quickly – without sacrificing quality – and we want you to enjoy your space as quickly as possible.
Request your consultation and we’ll be able to tell you everything about your project in detail.
We've heard horror stories about other companies. Why should we trust you?
That’s a great question and we’ve heard those stories from people as well.

Why do you ask for so much information in your quote form?
In order to provide you with an accurate quote, it’s helpful for us to know such things as what you want, the size of the area, where you live, etc.
Even if you were to just call us, we’d still need to get this information in order to accurately price your job.
Having this information up-front enables us to call you with accurate pricing quotes, design ideas, timelines and more.
If it helps, our website is secure and any information you send to us through it is safe.
