Philosophy
With every landscape we create, our primary objective is a pleased and satisfied client. To that end, we've set three important standards for our work.

Our First standard involves creating landscape that fits the site well. This involves studying the surrounding area and its major features. It's important to consider topography, existing views, and overall look and feel of the area. Factors involving site drainage and improvements, existing soil, and tree cover must be considered along with site usage and the needs of inhabitants. Our second standard involves fitting the landscape to the existing or planned architectural styles.

Irrigation
Years of experience coupled with careful site analysis enables us to design systems. Often, because it's more efficient, we install both the landscaping and irrigation together--saving our clients considerable expense. When installing an irrigation system we use various water delivery components to match the specific needs of trees, plants and turf. Also, a thorough knowledge of plant growth helps us accurately place water delivery sites which won't need costly adjustments as plants mature. Because only the highest quality materials and components are used, Landcraft offers an unbeatable three-year warranty on every irrigation system we install.

Quality
Quality does not just happen; it is planned. This means knowing and using all the right materials. In our business, this is a ground up process--literally. We begin by using only the finest base soil we know. We custom blend planting mixes using additional nutrients, root stimulators and other ingredients to quickly stabilize new plantings. Our knowledge and care at this foundational level helps us provide the nurturing soil environment that plants need to grow and mature.

Service
Over the years we continue to meet the ongoing needs of our clients, installing additional features and providing maintenance. After the initial landscaping, we have answered calls to trim trees, add fountains, water gardens patios, waterfall, walkways, irrigation systems, and flower beds. It is important to our clients that we are and established provider, available for the long term. It is important to them that we are familiar with their site; knowing, for example, the location of underground pipes and connections. And it is important that we are available to provide information about continuing care and feeding for their lawn, plants and trees.

Planning
Years ago we learned that planning begins with listening to our clients. It is not enough to create beautiful landscaping. Your landscaping must look beautiful to you. Close communication helps connect to our experience with what works with the ideas you have for a certain look. Our ability to provide complete design, installation and irrigation helps you avoid coordination conflicts which often plague multiple contractor situations. As each site offers specific challenges, we look forward to creating solutions our clients will feel satisfied with for years.

Selection
To select the proper plants we first consider the owner's preferences for color, texture and size. Next, we match these requirements with plants that have the best response to sunlight and shade as well as resistance to local weather extremes and the foraging of deer. Overall, success always involves careful consideration of the existing characteristics of each particular site.

Guarantee
Half of our plant materials are grown right in our own nursery. The rest are purchased form wholesale nurseries which we know to provide the quality products. This attention to plant quality combined with professional soil and planting skills enables us to offer a one-year limited warranty on all plantings which we install.

New Clients
In the beginning, an on-site consultation is always free of charge. We listen to you in order discover exactly what you are seeking. Your site is analyzed for size, outstanding features, existing soil and drainage, exposure to sunlight and existing views and architecture. The next step is the development of detailed plans accompanied by a cost analysis and formal bid proposal.
