Determining the exact investment for a landscaping project requires completing the plan first due to numerous variables including lot size, required plantings, and hardscaping elements. Generally, we recommend allocating 15-25% of your property's total value toward landscaping. Projects incorporating hardscaping features may require higher budgets. Many of our clients invest beyond these percentages to achieve their beautifully landscaped yards.

Absolutely. Many of our landscaping projects are implemented in phases according to your time constraints and budget availability. We will collaborate with you to develop a strategic plan for each phase of the project. As both a landscaping and hardscaping company, we understand that certain components of the process require additional time for proper completion.

The choice between sod and seed depends on your local weather conditions and the level of attention you can dedicate to the establishment process. Sod installation can occur throughout the landscaping season, while seeded lawns require approximately 12 months to fully establish, depending on weather and maintenance. Fall (mid-August through September) is optimal for seeding, with spring (late April through June 1st) being the second-best option. Contact our company for personalized recommendations for your specific lawn needs.

Irrigation systems should only be designed by experienced professionals such as Stone Oak Landscapes, as improperly installed systems can cause significant damage. A properly designed lawn irrigation system helps establish new lawns and maintains greenery throughout summer while protecting your landscape during drought periods. The system must be carefully engineered to minimize overspray onto planting beds, as plants require significantly less water than lawns. Planting bed irrigation requires separate zones based on plant types, locations, and site conditions. We recommend manual operation rather than automatic timers for bed zones to prevent overwatering, which causes more plant loss than underwatering. Established landscapes require adjusted watering schedules, including seasonal modifications. Contact us to determine the appropriate irrigation solution for your property.
