Landscaping is a term that is used loosely in the industry. Most think of landscaping as the guy cruising around on the mower that cuts and trims grass.  However, landscaping includes plant and tree installation as well as turf installation and management.  Residential landscaping needs to be carefully thought out and designed according to a number of different factors such as light conditions, climate and overall aesthetics.  Unfortunately, there is a large number of landscapes that are installed incorrectly with the wrong material for the situation. This is where selecting the right company with the expertise to understand the environment and conditions makes the largest difference in the quality, durability and sustainability of your investment.
