Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you offer lawn maintenance services?
At Artistic Landscaping Inc., our primary focus is on landscape design and construction, so we do not offer routine lawn maintenance services. We create long-lasting landscapes that require minimal maintenance, and we can recommend trusted partners for ongoing lawn care if needed.
2. What types of projects do you specialize in?
We specialize in both residential and commercial landscape transformations. Our projects range from backyard escapes, pool deck renovations, and water features to large-scale commercial property makeovers. We bring artistic design and expert craftsmanship to create inviting, functional outdoor spaces.
3. What is a hardscape, and how is it different from traditional landscaping?
A hardscape refers to the non-living elements of a landscape, such as paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, water, and fire features. Traditional landscaping, or softscape, includes the living elements like plants, trees, and flowers. Hardscapes provide structure and functionality, while softscapes add beauty and natural appeal. We blend both to create cohesive outdoor environments.
4. Do you design and install residential landscapes, or do you only work on commercial projects?
We work on both residential and commercial projects. Whether it's a custom backyard design or a large-scale landscape overhaul, our team delivers the same level of attention and creativity to every project.
5. Do you offer maintenance services for the hardscapes you install?
While we don’t offer ongoing maintenance, our hardscapes are built to last and require minimal upkeep. We can advise you on maintenance practices and recommend trusted partners for periodic upkeep.
6. What is your process for creating a custom landscape design?
Our process begins with a consultative approach. We discuss your needs, preferences, and intended use of the space. We then create a design that blends your vision with our expertise, handling every aspect of installation to ensure a seamless experience.
7. Can you incorporate existing elements of my property into the new landscape design?
Absolutely. We believe in enhancing your property's natural beauty and are experienced in integrating existing elements—like trees, patios, or architectural features—into the new design for a cohesive, harmonious look.
8. How long does a typical landscape construction project take to complete?
The timeline varies by project complexity and scale. Small residential projects may take a few weeks, while larger commercial projects can take several months. We provide a detailed project timeline during the design phase.
9. Do you provide irrigation system installations for your landscape projects?
Yes, we offer professional irrigation system installations to ensure your landscape stays lush and healthy. We also provide water-efficient solutions, including reclaimed water systems.
10. What is the difference between hardscape and softscape design?
Hardscape design focuses on structural elements—like paver and concrete patios, fire pits, and retaining walls—while softscape design involves plants, trees, and grass. We specialize in blending both to create functional, visually appealing, and sustainable outdoor spaces.
11. Can you help with outdoor lighting for my landscape project?
Yes, we offer outdoor lighting solutions to enhance the beauty and functionality of your landscape at night. Our lighting designs highlight key features and improve safety and visibility.
