Gardens and Plants Landscape Services

This was a very professional, hard-working crew who finished on schedule. They were punctual, and polite and kept their work area clean. They built a rock garden and gravel sitting area in our backyard and refreshed a gravel walkway. We live on the side of a hill, so they placed the rock steps and other stones beautifully. We realized we did want to spring for a few plants so they were receptive to me buying a few plants and placing them where I wanted them. They also let me move some existing plants from other areas of the garden and planted them to complete the look. We love our new project and can't wait to enjoy it all summer long!

Just had our spring start-up and backflow test for our irrigation system. Simply set up with good notification and they were here when they specified. The whole system that they installed is easy to operate, and the rain sensor really makes sure that the yard stays in good shape all summer.

FAQ

Residential Maintenance

We start with a complimentary visit to your home to create a service plan based on the maintenance needs of your space. Your personalized plan may include irrigation and water features, pruning, plant health, seasonal care and much more.

You will have a dedicated Account Manager who is always a phone call or text away.

Your home is assigned a specific day, a regular crew foreman, and a crew that remains consistent throughout the year.

We generally plan on 50 visits to your home each year.

Design & Build

We recommend low-voltage LED lighting which is soft in tone providing natural light while being extremely efficient. The average lifespan of LEDs is 40,000 hours, which should give you 18 to 20 years of run time from a single bulb. Learn more.

Control lighting allows you to create different themes in the lighting design by “zoning” the lighting system into up to four zones. This allows greater flexibility in how those zones are used. You might choose to enjoy all zones until you go to bed, and then only use the security zones through the night. Or, save energy by only lighting the spaces that are actually being used at any given time. Learn more.

Drain and flush water features to maintain clear water; remove foam buildup with a hot tub defoamer. Monitor the pH level to avoid algae growth. When foam starts to build up in your water feature, the best cure is to use a hot tub defoamer. If your water feature is not designed for cold weather, shut it off or pull out the pump for the winter.

If sand washes out during a heavy rain or from washing, simply sweep it back into the cracks with a broom. Polymeric sand can be applied to bond the cracks and prevent weed growth. If a chalky white substance appears, known as efflorescence, it can generally be removed by scrubbing with water and a stiff scrub brush, but it will generally wear off over time.

Pricing & Payment

Once you’ve spoken to Landscape East & West and a walkthrough of the job site is completed, your sales consultant will get to work on a ballpark quote. We welcome customer input with respect to the budget to assist in prioritizing the elements in the design.

Within a couple of weeks, we will deliver a ballpark estimate that will include engineering and permitting if needed, a cost range for each element essential for the design, and options to upgrade or downgrade finishes. Learn more.

Your full-service landscape care begins with a complimentary visit to your home where you’ll work with one of our consultants to create a comprehensive service plan customized to the needs of your outdoor space. And once you hire us, we’ll only charge you for the actual time we spend on your property. Learn more.

Scheduling & Timelines

What your makeover entails can make a difference in when you should start planning. For anything complex, we recommend getting your ideas together and calling Landscape East & West during the winter so your new yard will be ready for the warmer days of spring and summer. Projects can take anywhere from 4 to 8 months. Learn more

More complex projects typically take around 6 months between the first point of contact and when the project begins. On more straightforward projects, this might be less than a month from the customer’s first contact with us until a decision is made on the build, and the project then breaks ground within a couple of months. Learn more.

Overall, the process of going from an idea to hiring the professionals, to completing the project can take anywhere from 4-8 months.

Yes. Landscape care is a year-round business. We prune, remove yard debris and leaves, cut back ornamental grasses, complete any needed hardscape repairs, treat moss growth, and add mulch to prevent springtime weeds. Whew. Winter is a busy time.
