Landscape Design FAQs

Do you provide 3D landscape designs?

Yes — Daniel creates 3D renderings of your landscape design before any work begins. You'll see exactly what your yard will look like, including plant placement, hardscaping, and lighting. This lets you make changes on screen instead of in the ground.

What landscape styles work best in the Central Valley?

Drought-tolerant designs with native plants, decorative rock, and efficient irrigation work extremely well here. We also do traditional green landscapes with proper irrigation and soil amendments. The best design depends on your water budget, maintenance preference, and aesthetic vision.

How long does a landscape project take?

Small projects (flowerbeds, small yard redesigns) take 2–5 days. Larger projects (full front or backyard transformations) typically take 1–3 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline with every proposal so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you handle irrigation as part of landscape projects?

Absolutely. Every landscape design includes an irrigation plan. We install drip systems for planting beds, sprinklers for lawn areas, and smart controllers to manage everything efficiently. Irrigation is not an afterthought — it is part of the design.

Can you work with my HOA landscaping requirements?

Yes — we're familiar with HOA guidelines across Clovis and Fresno communities. We can design within your HOA's requirements and help you get design approval before we start. No surprises, no violations.

How much does landscape design and installation cost?

Costs vary by project scope. Basic mulch-and-plant conversions run $1,500–$3,000 per 1,000 sq ft. Full designed landscapes with hardscape cost $5,000–$10,000 per 1,000 sq ft. Premium projects with pavers, lighting, and focal trees range $8,000–$15,000+. We provide detailed proposals with transparent pricing before any work begins.

What drought-tolerant plants work best in Fresno?

Lavender, rosemary, California poppies, manzanita, Western redbud, and salvia all thrive in Central Valley heat and alkaline soil. For ground cover, Kurapia and UC Verde Buffalo Grass are excellent lawn alternatives. We select plants suited to your yard's sun exposure, soil, and water budget.

What is xeriscaping?

Xeriscaping is a landscaping approach designed to minimize water use. It combines drought-adapted plants, mulch, efficient drip irrigation, and permeable hardscape to create a beautiful yard that uses 50–75% less water than traditional lawns. It is ideal for Central Valley conditions with limited watering days.

Can you remove my old lawn and install a new landscape?

Yes — we handle the full transformation from lawn removal to finished landscape. This includes removing existing turf, regrading, amending soil, installing new irrigation (usually drip), planting, mulching, and adding hardscape elements. Many Fresno homeowners qualify for the Lawn to Garden rebate when converting.

Do you design landscapes for new construction homes?

Yes — new construction is one of our specialties. We design complete yard build-outs from bare dirt including grading, irrigation, sod or drought-tolerant plantings, trees, flowerbeds, and hardscape. We work with new homeowners in Kerman, Fresno, and Clovis to create their dream outdoor space from scratch.
