What is the difference between custom landscaping services and regular landscaping services?

Not much, tell you the truth! Adding the word “custom” to landscaping is simply a marketing approach which has been around for quite a few years, as in “we will customize our landscape design to meet your needs.”  Realistically, any landscaping design, be it backyard landscaping or front yard landscaping, is custom landscaping.

We are All Seasons Outdoor Solutions, providing custom landscaping to residents in the Greater Fort Worth area.  We offer affordable landscaping solutions to your property, and we work with you to make your vision and dream become a reality. Give us a call with questions and a price quote.

What does custom landscaping involve?

The main components of a landscaping plan include the following:

• Hardscape
• Softscape
• Landscape lighting
• Landscape drainage
• Tree service
• Sprinkler repair and installation
• Landscape design

Let’s briefly look at each of these components

Hardscape

Hardscape refers to the “hard” elements of any landscape design i.e. fences, walkways, ponds, dry creek beds.

Softscape

This refers to the greenery, the combination of shrubs and plants and flowers which add color and add softness to your landscape design.

Lighting

Outdoor LED lighting, pathway lighting, all lighting which enhances your yard, provides easy sight at night, and adds to curb appeal.

Drainage solutions

Water must flow properly off of your property and allow for good drainage. This includes dry creek beds, the installation of drainage pipes, and other drainage solutions.

Tree service

Tree planting, tree trimming, tree removal, choosing appealing trees for your landscape design, all fall under the category of tree service and all require the careful handling by a professional.

Sprinkler repair and installation

Low maintenance sprinkler systems will cut down on the water you use, lower your energy bill, and provide a lush, healthy lawn and garden. Water arrives at the plant roots, where it is needed, and does not flow where it is not needed.

Design

Now we get down to the nitty gritty of custom landscaping – the design!

What is your dream as a property owner? It begins with your dream. What do you see for your property in a perfect world? What would you like your property to look like if all the dominoes fell into place and the star all aligned in your life?

A custom landscaping professional will sit down with you and listen to your vision.  He/she will then draw up a plan based on your vision. They will explain every element of the plan, the implementation steps of that plan, and the cost of each component of that plan. They will then work with you on a timetable/schedule of that plan.

There are no secrets with a landscaping professional. There are no hidden fees.  A bond is formed between landscaper and property owner.  That is how we work at All Seasons Outdoor Solutions and that is what you should expect from any custom landscaping company you employ.
