A typical first visit takes 45-60 minutes. We walk the property together, talk about what you like and don’t like about your current yard, discuss how you use the outdoor space, and identify site conditions that will affect the design. There’s no cost and no obligation.

Plan on 2-4 weeks for design, 2-4 weeks for construction on mid-size projects, and 4-8 weeks for larger full-yard renovations. The total timeline is usually 2-4 months. Starting the design process in fall or winter for a spring build gives you priority scheduling.

Minor adjustments are usually handled on the fly at no extra cost. Larger changes require a written change order with the cost impact spelled out before work proceeds. We never add charges without your approval. Speak up early — changes before concrete is poured are easy.

Landscape construction is disruptive. Expect limited access to parts of your yard, some noise during work hours, and temporary impact to driveway access on delivery days. We communicate a weekly schedule in advance and clean up daily.

Classic Landscaping warranties both workmanship and plant material. Hardscape construction is warranted against structural failure. Plant material is warranted for one year from installation, provided the landscape receives appropriate care.

You don’t need to be home every day, but being available helps. Decisions come up that our project managers handle, but anything that affects cost or design intent gets run past you first. We can set up text, email, or photo updates to keep you informed.
