General
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Port Orange and serve all of Volusia County, with a secondary service radius into Flagler County — see our full service area list for specific towns.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Landscape design, paver patios and driveways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, screened lanais and enclosures, outdoor lighting, irrigation, and ongoing lawn and grounds maintenance.
Do you work with HOAs or only individual homeowners?
Both. We take on individual residential projects and maintain ongoing contracts with HOA common areas and multi-property accounts.
How do I get a feel for the quality of your work?
Ask to see our project portfolio during your consultation, and check current client reviews on our Reviews page and Google Business Profile.
Design & Process
What does the design-build process actually look like?
A free on-site consultation, a design plan (for full projects), a proposal with pricing, and then a scheduled build. Read our full breakdown on the blog: How a design-build process actually works.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends heavily on scope — a paver patio might take days, while a full backyard renovation with a kitchen, lanai, and planting can take several weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline at proposal stage.
Can I do my project in phases?
Yes — many clients design the full master plan up front and build it in phases as budget allows. We'll sequence phases so early work doesn't need to be redone later.
Can you work from a design I already have?
Yes, we can price and build from an existing plan, whether it's from another designer or your own sketch, and flag anything that needs adjustment for site conditions.
Pricing & Estimates
How does pricing work for a project like this?
This is a high-ticket, highly variable trade, so we don't publish fixed prices. We provide a free in-home estimate after understanding your scope, and offer financing options for larger projects. See our Pricing page for what's included in that process.
Is the in-home estimate free?
Yes, the initial consultation and estimate are free, with no obligation to move forward.
Do you offer financing?
We offer financing options for qualifying larger projects — ask your consultant during your estimate for current terms.
Is there a way to get a rough number before I call?
Yes — our Resources section has free calculators for paver area and cost, mulch and sod quantities, and overall project budget ranges, useful for early planning before a formal quote.
Maintenance & Irrigation
Can I hire you just for maintenance, without a design-build project?
Yes, our maintenance division services existing landscapes regardless of who originally installed them.
Is a rain sensor required on irrigation systems in Florida?
Yes, Florida law requires an automatic shutoff/rain sensor device on irrigation systems, and we install and calibrate one on every system we build.
Do you account for local watering restrictions?
Yes, we program irrigation controllers to your local water management district's watering schedule and adjust seasonally.
Permits & Licensing
Do I need a permit for my project?
It depends on scope — taller retaining walls, screened enclosures, and electrical/gas work typically require permits. We handle or coordinate the permitting process as part of your project.
Are you a licensed contractor?
Our landscape and irrigation work is performed to Florida code by our team. Any structural or electrical scope on a project is subcontracted to licensed, insured trade partners — we're upfront about which parts of a job fall under which license.
Are you insured?
Ask your consultant for current insurance and licensing documentation — we're glad to provide it before work begins.
