It depends on the size, the materials and how much digging the site needs, so we don't guess over the phone. After a site visit you get a written proposal with the price broken out by area. If the number needs to come down, we'll show you what to change or what can wait for a later phase.

A planting job is often a few days. A patio or wall usually runs one to three weeks, depending on size and weather. Your proposal includes a timeline, and we'll tell you how far out we're booking before you sign.

Planting and most patios don't need one. Taller retaining walls, work near a property line or wetland, and anything tied into a storm drain often do, and some neighborhoods have their own rules. We check what Carmel requires and handle the paperwork when a permit is needed.

Some of it, for a while. We plan access so machines stay on one path, protect the lawn and driveway where we cross them, and clean up at the end of each day. Any lawn we disturb is graded and seeded or sodded before we call the job done.

Yes, and it's often the smart way to do it. We draw the whole plan first so the phases fit together, then build in an order that won't have us tearing up finished work. Patios, walls and grading go first. Planting and lighting come after.
