Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what most clients ask before starting a project or maintenance plan. If something isn’t covered here, contact us directly.

Getting Started

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide free on-site consultations within our Burien and Seattle service area for residential and commercial projects. We evaluate your site conditions, goals, and budget before recommending a scope.

How quickly can you start a project?

Availability varies by season. Spring and summer fill quickly, so we recommend reaching out 4–8 weeks before your ideal start date. Maintenance agreements can often be scheduled sooner.

Do you require a contract?

All installation projects are covered by a written agreement outlining scope, materials, timeline, and pricing. Maintenance services run on a service agreement reviewed annually.

Services & Scope

Do you work on both residential and commercial sites?

Yes. Our team handles single-family homes, multi-family properties, HOAs, and small-to-mid size commercial landscapes. Scope and pricing are tailored to each property type.

Can you help with drainage issues?

Absolutely. We evaluate water flow, grading, and soil conditions before recommending practical drainage, French drain, or erosion-control solutions designed to last through Seattle winters.

Do you handle both design and installation?

We offer design-build services where we manage the full project — from concept through installation. We can also execute plans provided by a landscape architect you've already engaged.

Maintenance

How often should I schedule maintenance?

Most properties benefit from bi-weekly or monthly service depending on season, plant density, and property goals. We'll recommend a schedule based on your site during the initial consultation.

Do you offer year-round maintenance plans?

Yes. We offer annual maintenance agreements that cover seasonal pruning, mulching, leaf removal, and ongoing upkeep. Year-round clients receive scheduling priority and consistent crew assignments.
