Q. Can landscaping really add value to my home?

A. Yes, absolutely - In recent years, there have been quite a few studies on this very subject. Here are just a few examples:

• Money Magazine determined that landscaping offers an excellent return on investment and ranked top out of any home improvements. In addition, there was a study done by the American Society of Landscape Architects in conjunction with Money Magazine finding a recovery value of 100% to 200% of landscaping costs which can be gained when selling your home.

• Clemson University of Clemson, SC, stated that homes with excellent landscaping will sell for 6% to 7% more than comparable homes with just good landscaping.

• Michigan State University found similar results, but gives good landscaping even more value. They state that the perceived value of a home which is landscaped nicely is improved by as much as 12%.

• The Society of Real Estate Appraisers also feels a nicely landscaped home adds value and actually causes homes to sell more quickly.

• The U.S. Forest Service found that just trees alone can add 3% to 7% to the value of a home.

 

Q. Is there a fee for the initial consultation?

A. No - We do not charge for the initial site visit. This is your opportunity to share your ideas and vision for your landscape project, start the process of design by discussing initial ideas, pin-point any landscape problems you are having, and get a scope of the overall size of scope. Plus this gives you the opportunity to meet us, learn more about our company, and ask questions.

 

Q. Can you draw me up a landscape plan?

A. Yes – we have our own Design Department who can draw up anything from basic hand-drawn layouts and sketches, highly detailed concept plans, or a complete set of working construction drawings. Clients will often call upon us to provide this service as a first step to their overall project.
