Common questions
How much does landscape design cost?+
Small front-bed redesigns often land in the $1,500–$4,000 range installed. Full property designs vary widely — we quote firm numbers after the consultation.
What plants do best in Central Pennsylvania?+
We lean on hydrangea, boxwood, viburnum, spirea, coneflower, and ornamental grasses — all reliable in zone 6b with our clay-heavy soils.
Do you handle hardscaping?+
We install stone walkways, edging, and decorative rock. Large retaining walls and patios we'll refer to a trusted mason partner.
Can the project be done in phases?+
Yes — many customers do the front yard first, then backyard the next season. The design accounts for it.
Do new plants come with a guarantee?+
We install to spec and advise on watering. Nursery stock carries its supplier warranty; we'll help you make a claim if a plant fails early.
When is the best time to install?+
Spring and early fall are ideal for root establishment, but we install through the growing season with proper watering.

Mulch Installation
Nothing lifts a property faster than fresh mulch installation. We prep beds properly first — pulling weeds, cutting a sharp new edge, then installing premium mulch at the right depth so it looks great and actually protects your plants.

Decorative rock is the low-maintenance answer to beds you're tired of re-mulching. We prep with quality fabric and solid edging so the stone stays put and weeds stay out — then set the rock at an even depth for a clean, permanent look.

A well-built flower bed starts below the surface. We shape the bed, kill off existing turf, amend Central PA's heavy clay with compost, then plant a mix of perennials and seasonal color that keeps something in bloom from spring through frost.
