At VHS Landscaping, we take pride in offering a boutique, high-quality experience. To ensure each project receives the attention it deserves, we limit the number of projects we take on at any given time. This sometimes means there might be a wait before we can start your project, but this approach allows us to provide personalized service and exceptional results. Our goal is to make sure every client feels valued and receives our best work.

Our projects start at a minimum cost of $8,000. This ensures that we can provide the level of quality and attention to detail that our clients expect.

While every project is unique, a common guideline is to allocate around 10-20% of your home's value for landscaping. For more accurate estimates, we recommend discussing your vision and budget with our experienced consultants during the initial consultation.

Honesty is key. Sharing your budget range upfront helps us tailor recommendations to match your financial goals. Our team is here to collaborate and make the most of every dollar spent.

Landscaping involves numerous factors, including design, materials, labor, and expertise. We prioritize using high-quality materials, skilled professionals, and tailored designs, which contribute to the overall investment in creating a lasting and impressive outdoor space.

Our consultants are experts in helping you make informed decisions about where to invest and where to economize without compromising on the overall quality and impact of your project. While it's natural to consider initial costs, investing in quality ensures a longer-lasting and more functional outdoor space as well as minimizes the need for repairs and replacements down the line.

Absolutely. We can develop phased plans that allow you to tackle different aspects of your project over time. This way, you can spread out your investment while still achieving your desired end result.

We offer three design tiers – Basic Design, Enhanced Design, and Fully Custom Design. Each tier offers different levels of detail, customization, and collaboration with our experts. Tier 1 - Scope of Work Design: A complimentary option available to clients who have already placed a deposit for their landscaping project with VHS. It's a powerful tool to kickstart your landscaping project and envision your outdoor space transformation. Tier 2 - Enhanced Design: For those seeking a more comprehensive and detailed design. The design fee is paid upfront and 50% will be credited towards your project cost. With this option, you'll collaborate closely with our lead landscape designer to craft a master plan that's a work of art in itself. Tier 3 - Fully Custom Design: This option offers a full master plan, complemented by related documents, perspective, and elevation drawings. Enjoy a fully customized design with three expert-led design meetings to bring your dream landscape to life. These meetings allow for deeper collaboration, ensuring that every detail of the design aligns perfectly with your dream landscape.

The design tier can influence the timeline, as more detailed designs may require additional time. However, we work diligently to provide accurate timelines regardless of the chosen tier.

The choice of design tier depends on your preferences, project complexity, and budget. Our consultants can guide you through the options during the initial consultation to help you make the best decision for your project. If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA or in a historically designated area, the more detailed designs may be required.

Project timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity. Our team will provide you with an estimated timeline during the consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

The survival rate of newly planted plants can vary based on factors like species, climate, and care. With proper maintenance and care, most plants have a survival rate of 80-90%. Our team will guide you on the best practices to ensure the health and longevity of your plants.
