Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does a landscaping project cost?
It depends on the size, materials and scope of the design. A consultation and site visit let us give you a clear, itemized proposal — no fixed guesses, no surprises.
How long does a patio or backyard project take?
Smaller hardscape projects can take a week or two; full backyard transformations run longer. We share a realistic timeline in your proposal before any work begins.
Do you provide landscape design?
Yes — design is where every Stoneleaf project starts. You'll see a considered plan for layout, materials, planting and lighting before we build.
Can you help with drainage problems?
Yes. Drainage and grading are part of how we plan a space, and we can design solutions that protect your landscape and your home.
What materials do you use for patios?
We work with natural stone, pavers and other quality hardscape materials, chosen to suit your home, style and how you'll use the space.
Can you redesign an existing backyard?
Absolutely. Many of our projects are transformations of existing yards — we work with what's there and reimagine it around how you want to live outdoors.
