Landscaping Frequently Asked Questions

What are softscapes, and hardscapes?
Softscape comprises of the animate, horticultural elements of landscape design, i.e. plants. Hardscape are the non animate design elements, such as edging, stone walls, tile patios, and brick walkways.
What should I spend on my landscaping project?
The rule of thumb for your dream landscape is between 15-25 % of the cost of your new home, or between 10-15 % to give your existing homes landscape a face lift. You may choose to spend more or less, but money put into landscaping will usually make your home more enjoyable, and build equity.
Should I question the landscapers plan, or his / her ideas?
The answer is YES! If you are unsure about a plan, or any aspect of the project you should say so. You have the right to have the yard the way YOU want it, not the way some landscaper wants it. It is much easier, and cheaper to change a project before it starts than after it is finished.
When should I trim my plants?
As a general rule soft stemmed plants such as Grasses, Daylilies, and Hostas, can be cut back in the fall. Woody plants such as Russian sage, or Butterfly bush, should wait till spring, but before budding.
What are the different sun distinctions, such as full sun partial sun and so on?
Full Sun – Receives at least 6 hours of sun a day. Partial Sun – Receives at least 4 hours of sun a day. Dappled Shade – Produced by trees and creates a moving pattern of sunlight and shade. This shade allows for the widest range of gardening options for growing both shade- and sun-loving plants. Open Shade – Created in a north-facing yard for as many feet out as shade is cast by an adjoining wall, fence or building. The distance the shade is cast will vary with the season. This type of shade can be a challenge for growing shade-loving plants in the middle of summer as the hot afternoon and evening sun may cause burning of leaves. Medium Shade – Occurs where open shade is further obscured by trees. Medium shade also occurs under decks and south-facing entrances with no direct sun. Dense shade – The deepest shade, found where tall walls and fences block all but the narrowest strips of light. Dense shade can also occur under trees with dense foliage such as Norway maples and some conifers. Plant selection for dense shade is limited. Dry shade – Any of the previous shade situations involving mature trees can also be dry shade. Dry shade occurs because most trees are shallow-rooted, removing nutrients and water from nearby plants.
When is the best time to seed my lawn?
Generally speaking it is best to do it either late Spring or the early Autumn.
What is the difference between seeding and sodding a lawn?
Sod is a strip of grass that is ready to be laid, usually coming in the size 3’x6′. Seed is much cheaper; however you have to wait for it to become established, usually at least 3 months.
When should I plant?
Ideally you should try and plant in the spring and the fall. Try to avoid extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. Also, make sure that you water well especially for a few days / weeks after planting.
Why should I hire a professional to design my landscape plan?
A design professional has a lot of experience with both the softscapes, and hardscapes used in your area. They also have the knowledge to know what plants will work the best in what areas, and what will look the best when it is full grown. Last but certainly not least is that a landscape designer will be able to stop future problems such as drainage.
Why should I landscape my backyard?
Landscaping is one of the most cost effective ways to add value to your home, not to mention the aesthetic value it adds.
