Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can we divide the project into phases?
A: Absolutely, we work with homeowners on a regular basis to create phasing plans for their projects. We will phase a project to meet the clients’ initial budget goals, while maintaining a cohesive design that can be flawlessly completed in 2 stages or 5, based on the clients needs.

Q: Do you give free estimates?
A: Yes, we do offer free estimates. In order for us to give a comprehensive estimate, we do need to have a scaled and accurate landscape plan to work from. This enables us to take precise measurements so that we can provide you with exact costs. If you don’t have a landscape plan, we do offer landscape design services.

Q: How much should I expect to spend on landscaping?
A: The cost of landscaping is difficult to generalize without site specific information, and an understanding of each homeowner’s objectives. It has been said in a recent article published by realtors, that a homeowner can expect to spend between 10-12% of the cost of their home on landscaping. We have found that for many projects that statistic is accurate, however often times projects are above or below that average based on the homeowner’s objectives and specific site requirements.

Q: What is xeriscaping?
A: Xeriscaping is a combination of seven common-sense gardening principles that save water while still allowing for a lush and colorful landscape. (plan & design, practical turf areas, low water plants, soil amendment, mulch, irrigate efficiently, proper maintenance) It is not just rock and gravel, with no lawn and only boring spiky plants.

Q: Do you charge for your designs?
A: One area that sets Lindgren Landscape & Irrigation Inc. apart from other companies is our design work. Lindgren employs full time designers with experience both in the field and in drafting landscape plans. We use that experience to deliver plans that not only look great on paper, but are beautiful and functional once installed. We do charge for the time that we spend incorporating your needs and our aesthetic vision into your one of a kind landscape plan. At our initial consultation, which is free of charge, we can give you a quote based on for the amount of time we will need to put together your plan.

Q: Is there a warranty on landscaping?
A: There is a full one year warranty from date of completion.  We strive to create relationships of respect with our clients, and handle any problem or concern that they might have in a timely and professional manner.
