What is landscape design and how does it benefit my property?

Landscape design is the art and practice of planning and creating outdoor spaces, thoughtfully arranging plants, hardscape elements, and other features to create a beautiful, functional environment. A professional design can enhance your property's curb appeal, increase its market value, and effectively extend your living area into the outdoors.

How is landscape design different from regular gardening?

Landscape design is a comprehensive process that involves planning the entire layout and function of an outdoor space, including elements like patios, walkways, plant placement, and drainage. It focuses on creating a cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment. Regular gardening, while a crucial part of maintaining a landscape, typically focuses on the ongoing care and cultivation of plants within an existing layout.

Our Comprehensive Drainage Services

At Lush Landscape, we offer a complete range of services to address any drainage challenge. After conducting a thorough assessment, we design a system that is directly tailored to your property’s needs.

In-Depth Property Assessment

Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your property. Our team carefully examines your landscape’s slope, soil composition, and existing water flow patterns, along with any preexisting drainage infrastructure. By identifying areas prone to pooling water or erosion, we can pinpoint the causes of your drainage issues and develop a targeted, effective plan.

Custom Drainage System Design

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for water management, since each property and the way water affects it is different. Our experienced team creates customized drainage systems to solve your specific problems. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:

French Drains: To redirect subsurface water away from your home’s foundation.
Dry Wells: To collect and slowly disperse excess rainwater into the ground.
Swales and Berms: To naturally guide water flow across your landscape.

Other services may involve burying gutters or running sump pumps, as needed. We design each system with the components required to manage water effectively, while seamlessly integrating everything with your landscape’s aesthetic.

You can count on Lush Landscape for a professional installation executed with precision and care. Our skilled team uses high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure your drainage system will perform optimally and provide lasting protection.
