Watch for These Five Indicators

Signs You Need Design, Build & Maintain Service

This service is the right call when your property shows problems that piecemeal fixes can't solve. If two or more sound familiar, your property needs coordinated care rather than another one-off repair.

Indicator 01

Standing Water & Poor Drainage

Puddles lingering 48 hours after rainfall point to compacted subsoil, improper grading, or a failed French drain. We regrade the site, install catch basins, and redirect downspout discharge before water damages your foundation.

Indicator 02

Patchy, Declining Turf

Thinning grass, dollar spot, brown patch, and grub damage signal deeper issues like soil pH imbalance or thatch buildup. A soil test, core aeration, overseeding, and scheduled fertilization restore dense turfgrass.

Indicator 03

Overgrown or Failing Plant Material

Shrubs pruned into decline, trees planted too close to structures, and perennials outgrowing their beds all call for a professional planting plan with species suited to your USDA hardiness zone.

Indicator 04

Cracked or Heaving Hardscapes

Sunken pavers, tilting retaining walls, and spalling concrete indicate base failure. We excavate, compact new aggregate base, and rebuild patios and walls to ICPI standards.

Indicator 05

An Irrigation System That Wastes Water

Misting heads, dry zones, and climbing summer water bills mean your sprinkler system needs an audit. We inspect valves, replace worn nozzles, and calibrate smart controllers to match precipitation rates to plant needs.

One comprehensive plan beats another one-off repair.

Informed at Every Stage

Our Design, Build & Maintain Process

A proven six-step process that keeps you informed from first walkthrough through years of scheduled care.

Site Consultation

A landscape architect walks your property, measures the site, photographs problem areas, and listens to your goals and budget.

Design Development

We draft a scaled site plan with planting selections, hardscape layouts, lighting placement, and irrigation zones. You review 3D renderings and request revisions until the plan fits your vision.

Detailed Proposal

You receive an itemized estimate covering materials, labor, and a construction timeline. We schedule the project once you approve.

Construction

Crews grade the site, install drainage, build hardscapes, trench irrigation lines, amend soil, and plant trees, shrubs, and perennials. A project manager updates you at each milestone.

Walkthrough & Warranty

We inspect the finished work with you, correct any punch list items, and hand over warranty documents and care instructions.

Ongoing Maintenance

Your property moves into a scheduled care program. Crews mow, edge, prune, fertilize, mulch, and adjust irrigation through every season, and your account manager checks in quarterly.

Most residential projects run 4 to 10 weeks from approved design to final walkthrough

FAQs About Design, Build & Maintain Service

Landscape design, build, maintain service is a single-provider model that covers planning, construction, and ongoing care of your outdoor property. One company drafts the design, builds the hardscapes and plantings, and maintains everything afterward.

Fall and winter work best for design and permitting, which positions your build for spring construction. Maintenance programs can start any month of the year.

Coordinated planning prevents expensive rework. The team that designs your drainage also builds it and monitors it, so problems get caught early instead of after damage occurs.

An architect surveys your site, drafts a scaled plan with plant and material selections, and revises it with your input. Construction begins after you approve the final design and proposal.

Yes. We audit the existing plantings, irrigation, and hardscapes, then build a maintenance program around what's already on your property.

Our full-service plans cover sprinkler startups, monthly inspections, winterization, and lighting adjustments alongside mowing, pruning, fertilization, and seasonal cleanups.

Most residential projects run four to ten weeks from approved design to final walkthrough, depending on scope, permits, and weather.
