Design Scapes Inc.

Basic landscaping costs $1,500-$5,000, while full landscape design and installation ranges from $5,000-$20,000+. Ongoing lawn maintenance typically costs $100-$300 per month.

Mow weekly during the growing season, or when grass reaches about one-third taller than the ideal height. Most lawns do best mowed to 2.5-3.5 inches.

Fall is the best time to plant most trees, as cooler temps and rain help roots establish before summer stress. Spring is the second-best option, especially for container-grown trees.

Tree removal costs $300-$2,000+ depending on tree size, location, and complexity. Large trees near structures cost more due to the equipment and skill required.

Most lawns need 1-1.5 inches of water per week, applied in 2-3 deep watering sessions. Water early morning to reduce evaporation. Adjust based on rainfall and soil type.

Hardscaping refers to non-plant landscape elements: patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. It adds structure, function, and value to outdoor spaces.

Patio installation costs $8-$25 per square foot depending on material. Concrete pavers are $10-$17/sqft, natural stone $15-$30/sqft, and stamped concrete $8-$18/sqft.

Fertilize in early spring and fall for cool-season grasses, or late spring and summer for warm-season grasses. Use a soil test to determine the right fertilizer type and application rate.

Solutions include regrading, French drains, dry creek beds, rain gardens, downspout extensions, and catch basins. A landscaper can assess your specific drainage issues and recommend the best approach.

Permits are typically needed for retaining walls over 4 feet, major grading changes, irrigation systems, and structures like pergolas or outdoor kitchens. Check with your local building department.
