Frequently Asked Questions
What steps are involved in a typical landscaping project?
Landscaping projects come in many forms, but every great landscape needs three key stages: design, installation, and maintenance. Each step plays an important role in making your outdoor space beautiful, functional, and built to last.
What does the design process involve?
Start by filling out our contact form or giving us a call for a quick consultation. We’ll talk about your needs, ideas, and budget to get a clear picture of your vision. Owner Dean Bjorkstrand personally works with you through the design stage to make sure everything fits your goals. Next, we visit your property to see the space and choose the best approach. During this visit, we check the plants already there, take photos, note key features like doors, windows, and A/C units, and review the layout and slope of your yard.
What elements are feature (featured) in a landscape design?
Landscape design and construction covers a wide range of projects. Some take just a few hours or days, while others can stretch over weeks or months. Simple jobs include building a new patio, updating front walkways, or adding details to your garden and lawn. More complex projects involve designing driveways, sidewalks, or entryways, managing drainage and site grading, and creating outdoor living spaces like kitchens or fireplaces. Whatever your needs, we handle every step with care and skill to bring your vision to life.
Is there a distinction between landscape architects, landscape designers landscape contractors?
Landscape designers focus mostly on residential projects, creating ideas for hardscapes, plant materials, and design strategies. They develop landscape plans, lighting plans, and more. Our team also helps with installation by placing plants and selecting materials. Landscape architects hold licenses to provide all the services landscape designers offer, plus construction services. They create detailed plans for building retaining walls, managing drainage, and adding physical structures. Their training centers on commercial and public spaces like parks, but they often work on residential landscapes too. Landscape contractors turn these ideas into reality and sometimes help with design. Dean Bjorkstrand is a full-service landscaping company, offering both design and construction services to meet your needs.
How long does it take to complete a landscaping project?
What time is best to begin a landscaping project?
Is phasing a project easy?
Landscaping your property is easier and more straightforward than a home remodeling project. You can often complete it in a single phase without splitting it into stages. Still, to save time and money, bring in a landscaping expert from the beginning. Share your full vision and needs so we can guide the process smoothly from start to finish.

How much does a landscape design project cost?
To determine the cost of your landscape design project, we consider consultation time and the design plan. We provide all costs before scheduling a consultation or starting the design. Prices vary based on your project’s size and scope. Most on-site consultations range from $150 to $300. After visiting your site, we estimate the design cost, which usually falls between $1,500 and $3,500. Once the design is complete, we provide a detailed cost proposal for all elements. You pay only what we agree on before construction begins. If you want changes or additions, we give you a new cost. We don’t add extra fees unless you request changes or face unforeseen site issues requiring more labor.
How Do We Supervise Projects?
We take pride in every project and make sure it’s done right. Our team carefully plans and checks each step of the installation. We regularly review progress on-site to make sure plants, materials, and features are installed correctly, so your yard turns out as expected.
What If I Have Questions During a Project?
We encourage open communication throughout your project. If you notice something or have questions, we are happy to review the work and make adjustments if needed. Our goal is to resolve concerns quickly so your yard looks exactly how you envisioned.
Do We Guarantee Our Work?
Yes, we stand behind the work we do. If anything doesn’t meet our standards, we work with you to correct it promptly. Your satisfaction and the long-term health of your landscape are our top priorities.
Can We Provide Guidance Before You Commit?
Absolutely! Even before starting a project, we can offer ideas, advice, and suggestions that suit your space, style, and budget. Our goal is to make the process clear and stress-free so you feel confident with every decision.
How Do We Communicate Costs During a Project?
We provide all costs upfront before starting any work. If changes are requested or unexpected challenges arise, we explain any adjustments clearly before moving forward. This way, you always know what to expect and there are no surprises.
What Is The Consultation Fee For?
Our consultation fee covers the time it takes to visit your property, understand your needs, and provide a detailed recommendation tailored to your yard. This fee is credited toward your project if you choose to move forward, so it’s an investment in getting the right plan for your home. Our goal is to give you expert guidance so you can make a confident decision.
