Installing a quality landscape will increase your home’s value. And the aesthetics of a beautiful landscape is always a help in selling your home. But the most significant return on the investment is your enjoyment of creating the perfect landscape. You can turn your backyard into a personal paradise. This can improve the length of your life, as you spend more time out relaxing and enjoying life outside.
We offer customized maintenance packages for any landscape. But if you would like to maintain it yourself, we will give you specific instruction and tips on how to keep your landscape looking its best! Also, we are always available to check in after the job is done and offer some additional advice if needed, free of charge.
In general, the most ideal time to prune your trees is in the dormant season or just before bud break in early spring. This allows the tree proper recovery time before a growth flush.
It is generally agreed that fall and spring are the best seasons to plant. These allow for the best opportunities for maximum growth for newly planted seeds and bulbs. Summer and winter months are not ideal for landscape installation, but lawns still need regular watering during these months to ensure proper growth.
This is a tricky question we get often. Firstly, if the tree is at a semi-mature, to mature stage in life. Yard by Design will not reduce the height on any tree that age unless, it has previously been pollarded, or reduced in the past. With most fruit trees and trees that have been lowered at an adolescent age it is acceptable to maintain this practice as long as the tree is healthy. However, topping a tree is an unethical approach to maintaining trees, and we will have to recommend other solutions.
Sometimes tree care is a multiple-choice answer – the diagnosis may not be obvious. An associate will identify the problem area(s), recommend a program of treatment and perform the procedure(s) necessary. We believe in proactive (preventive) care programs – maintaining healthy landscapes – avoiding decline and damage rather than reactive tree care that is performed after problems occur.
It’s a side effect of the fertilization process. When fertilizer is added to the root zone of a tree or shrub it can’t help but fertilize the lawn a little bit as well. The increased nutrients cause the grass to grow in green clumps.
Our woodchips are typically unloaded to any resident who is in need of mulch. We also allow certain local residents to pick up wood that has been processed during the course of the job, with the permission of the client. If you are interested in wood or woodchips. Please give us a call at (210) 638-8804.

This depends on several factors, but it really depends on your soil texture. You should water sandy soils with smaller quantities of water applied more frequently than with clay/silt soils and you can water silt/clay soils less frequently than sandy soils without leaching water.
To determine “how much,” water your trees need you must determine tree diameter x five minutes = total watering time.
