Homeowners and business managers alike want their property's landscaping to look as beautiful and artistic as possible. Quality design and maintenance of a property's outdoor appearance takes expertise and experience. When it is done right, landscaping adds immeasurably to a home or business's curb appeal and can greatly increase its market value for many years to come.
Choosing The Right Plants For Lasting Beauty And Thriving Growth
Our team begins your new landscaping project by talking with you to understand the things you have in mind. Based on your ideas, we can begin making recommendations based on your budget and your property's layout; whether the goal is to make some small additions and renovations or rework your yard and add new softscape features.
Your property's soil conditions, sun exposure, and drainage come into play when choosing the right grass, trees, shrubs, and flowers. We compose an arrangement of the right plants to give your yard a healthy and attractive look that can last from season to season. If you are a gardener or rose enthusiast, we can create the perfect space for your plant-growing hobbies. Whether you want a traditional south Louisiana ambiance or prefer some varieties from other parts of the world, we can match your yard with plants that can thrive.
Trees are the most permanent and visible part of your landscaping. Properly selected and placed trees provide shade, natural beauty, and privacy. In addition, they provide pleasure over the years as they grow and mature, and our regular landscaping maintenance can ensure that your trees are properly pruned, trimmed, and generally kept healthy as the seasons pass by.
Other permanent plants fill out the overall design plan. Shrubs and hedges accent the space around your home and along walkways, driveways, and curbs. Perennial flowering plants complete and fill out spaces with seasonal color. Properly selected and maintained grass can provide a lush green lawn that truly stands out in your neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Landscaping Questions
Q1. How do native plants contribute to a sustainable landscape design?
A1. Incorporating native plants into landscaping is not only environmentally sustainable but also beneficial for local ecosystems. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, soil, and pests, which means they require less water, fewer pesticides, and less maintenance overall compared to non-native species. They also provide essential habitats and food sources for local wildlife, including pollinators like bees and butterflies. Designing with native plants helps in creating a landscape that is in harmony with its natural surroundings and requires less intervention for its upkeep.
Q2. What role does soil health play in successful landscaping?
A2. Soil health is a critical component of successful landscaping. Healthy soil promotes vigorous plant growth, improves water retention, and supports a diverse microbial ecosystem, which is essential for nutrient cycling and disease prevention. Regular soil testing is recommended to understand its pH, nutrient levels, and composition (such as clay, sand, or loam). Based on the test results, amendments like compost, mulch, or specific fertilizers can be added to improve soil health. Understanding soil conditions is especially important when selecting plants, as different species have varied soil preferences.
Q3. How can landscaping design contribute to energy efficiency in buildings?
A3. Strategic landscaping can significantly contribute to the energy efficiency of nearby buildings. For instance, deciduous trees planted on the south and west sides of a building can provide shade during the summer, reducing the need for air conditioning. In winter, when these trees lose their leaves, they allow sunlight to warm the building naturally. Evergreen trees and shrubs planted on the north and northwest sides can act as windbreaks, reducing heating costs in the winter. Additionally, the use of ground cover plants can reduce surface temperature and surrounding air temperature, contributing to a cooler local microclimate.
