Common questions
Where does landscaping money go furthest?
Drainage and grading first. Plants on top of a drainage problem die and take your budget with them.
Things to watch out for
- Designs with plants that aren't native or climate-appropriate — you'll replace them within two seasons.
- Maintenance contracts that auto-renew annually without a price cap.
