Frequently Asked Questions?

  • What does softscape design include?

    Softscape design covers the living elements of your landscape, such as trees, shrubs, perennials, and beds. We arrange these into a cohesive plan that suits your property and complements your home, giving your outdoor spaces structure and natural beauty.

  • How do you choose the right plants for my property?

    We match plants to your site conditions and the local climate, considering sun, soil, space, and how your landscape will grow. Choosing climate-suited, well-placed material helps your plantings establish well and stay healthy over time.

  • What does plant installation mean?

    Plant installation means we source your plant material and install it for you. We work with quality growers to secure healthy, well-matched trees, shrubs, and plants, so you do not have to track them down or transport them yourself.

  • Do you prepare the soil before planting?

    Yes. We prepare soil and planting beds before installation, giving new plantings the strong foundation they need. Proper bed preparation helps your softscape establish successfully and thrive through the seasons rather than struggling from the start.

  • Can you redesign existing landscape beds?

    Yes. We can rework tired or overgrown beds, refreshing the design and replacing or adding plant material as needed. This gives established landscapes new life while keeping the plantings suited to your property and the local climate.

  • Which areas do you serve for softscape design?

    We design softscapes and source plants for properties in Crosslake, Gull Lake, and Pequot Lakes, along with surrounding communities throughout Crow Wing County and Cass County, Minnesota. Reach out to confirm your property is within our service area.
