Q: Can you help me decide which plants to install?
A: Yes. Plant selection is part of the process. We’ll consider your property conditions, the available space, your preferred look, and the planting areas included in the project.
Q: What factors do you consider when recommending plants?
A: Recommendations may be based on sunlight, drainage, available space, mature plant size, existing landscaping, maintenance preferences, and the overall appearance you want to create.
Q: Do I need to know exactly what plants I want before the estimate?
A: No. It helps to share examples of colors, styles, or plants you like, but you do not need to arrive with a complete plant list. We can help you determine what may work well for your property.
Q: Is fall really a good time to install plants?
A: Fall can be an excellent planting season in coastal North Carolina. Cooler temperatures and less intense sunlight can reduce stress while the roots begin establishing. The right timing may vary by plant, so we’ll recommend what is appropriate for your project.
Q: Does the service include removing old plants?
A: Existing plant removal can be discussed during the estimate. Show us anything you want removed or replaced so the labor and disposal can be included in the proposed scope.
Q: Is mulch or pine straw included with the installation?
A: Bed-cover installation depends on the scope of your project. If you would like fresh mulch or pine straw around the new plants, mention it during the estimate so it can be discussed and included if appropriate.
Q: Who is responsible for watering the new plants?
A: Newly installed plants require consistent watering while their roots establish. We’ll explain the initial care requirements, but the property owner is responsible for making sure the plants receive the water they need after installation unless a different arrangement is included in writing.
Q: Do I need to be home for the estimate?
A: Not always. If we can access the planting areas and understand what you want to accomplish, we may be able to assess the property and communicate with you electronically. Our team will confirm the details when we call.
Q: Do you serve my area?
A: We provide plant installation in Wilmington, Leland, Hampstead, and surrounding communities. Submit the form with your address, and we’ll confirm whether your property is within our service area.
