Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscape design cost, and what affects the price?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, how detailed the plan needs to be, and whether you want a single bed refresh or a full property master plan. Grading and drainage problems, hardscape elements like patios or retaining walls, and irrigation all add complexity. We provide a written quote after seeing your property and discussing scope.

How long does the design process take from consultation to installation?

Most designs take a couple of weeks from the initial site visit to a finished plan, depending on revisions and how quickly decisions are made. Installation timing varies with project size, material availability, and weather. Planting is often scheduled around fall and spring, when Sanford's conditions give new plants the best chance to establish.

What do I actually receive with a landscape design?

You get a site consultation, measurements and notes on sun exposure, drainage, and soil, then a layout showing plant placement, bed lines, hardscape areas, and any lighting or water features. We include plant selections suited to our climate and explain maintenance expectations, so you know what the finished landscape needs long term.

Do I have to use you for installation if you create the design?

No. You are welcome to take the plan and phase the work yourself or over several seasons. Many clients do choose us for installation since we already understand the grading, drainage, and plant choices behind the plan, which keeps the finished result consistent with what was drawn.

Can you fix drainage or standing water issues as part of the design?

Yes. Drainage is one of the first things we evaluate, since Sanford's clay-heavy soils hold water and drown plantings. Solutions may include regrading, French drains, dry creek beds, rain gardens, or raised beds. Addressing water movement before planting prevents plant loss and protects patios, walkways, and your foundation.

What should I have ready for the first consultation?

Bring photos or saved images of styles you like, a rough budget range, and a list of how you want to use the space — dining, kids' play, privacy, low maintenance. Also note any known issues like utility lines, septic fields, HOA rules, or areas that stay wet or shady.
