Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our landscaping services, processes, and what to expect when working with Teo Landscapes.
What types of landscaping services do you offer?
We offer comprehensive landscaping services including hard landscaping (paving, garden structures, outdoor kitchens, water features) and soft landscaping (irrigation, turf care, tree care, seasonal planting programs). Our team handles everything from design to installation and maintenance.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
Project timelines vary depending on scope and complexity. Small garden makeovers typically take 1-2 weeks, while larger projects with hard landscaping features like patios, water features, or outdoor kitchens can take 4-8 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during our initial consultation.
Do you provide maintenance services after installation?
Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance packages including lawn care, pruning, seasonal planting, irrigation system maintenance, and pest control. Our maintenance plans are tailored to your garden's specific needs and can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or seasonally.
What is the difference between hard and soft landscaping?
Hard landscaping refers to the structural elements like patios, walkways, retaining walls, gazebos, and water features. Soft landscaping includes living elements such as plants, trees, lawns, flower beds, and garden maintenance. Most projects combine both for a complete outdoor transformation.
Do you handle planning permissions and permits?
We assist with planning applications when required for larger structures like gazebos, significant retaining walls, or swimming pools. Our team is familiar with local regulations and can guide you through the permit process to ensure your project complies with all requirements.
What is your warranty policy?
We provide warranties on all our work - typically 2 years for hard landscaping installations and 1 year for plant installations. Our warranty covers workmanship and materials, ensuring your investment is protected. Maintenance services also come with satisfaction guarantees.
Can you work with existing landscaping features?
We specialize in landscape renovation and can work around existing trees, structures, or features you want to keep. Our design team will create a plan that incorporates your existing elements while enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality.
Do you offer free consultations and quotes?
Yes, we provide free initial consultations where we assess your space, discuss your vision, and provide preliminary advice. Following this, we offer detailed written quotes with no obligation. Our transparent pricing ensures you know exactly what to expect.
What should I do to prepare for a landscaping project?
Before we begin, ensure clear access to your garden, remove any personal items from work areas, and arrange for pets to be secured during construction days. We'll provide a detailed preparation checklist specific to your project during our planning phase.
Do you work year-round?
We work throughout the year, though some services are seasonal. Hard landscaping can be done in most weather conditions, while soft landscaping like planting is best done in spring and autumn. We'll advise on optimal timing for your specific project requirements.
