Q:
Why Landscaping? A: Landscaping is
the best way to increase the value and curb side appeal of your
home. First impressions are remembered and the first thing
a prospective home-buyer will notice is the landscaping.
In addition, landscaping is good for the environment.
Plants absorb much of the toxic chemicalsin the atmosphere and
release life giving oxygen, keeping our Northwest air clean.
Planting also help keep erosion to a minimum in our wet climate.
Plus an attractive landscape can play an important role in
reducing stress and improving the quality of life.
Q:
How can I have a Maintenance Free Landscape? A: While
there is no such thing as "Maintenance Free" Landscape, Exstream Landscaping
can help design something beautiful, functional and very low
maintenance that you and your family can enjoy without the
hassles of constant care. By using plants native to the
Northwest that don't require regular care and with the
application of hard- scaping and irrigation systems
Exstream Landscaping can
significantly cut down on the time you spend working in your
yard.
Q:
We live in a busy neighborhood,
how can I get more privacy in my yard? A: Fencing
is the most common way to achieve a sense of privacy in our ever
more populated area, but it's not the only way. There are
many types of plants materials that not only screen out the
visual aspects of busy neighorhoods but that will also help
muffle the noise. Combinations of different plant
materials with fencing can also give you the privacy you need
while adding beauty to your home.
Q:
We have a realtively small
backyard, and we love to entertain.
How can we make our yard more entertainment friendly? A: With the application
of the "Outdoor Room" philosophy, we can create several
distinctive area that allow for entertaining. Depending on

interest

just as effective as a large one,

Q: We just bought a new home and have nothing but dirt in our
yard.
We have a lot
of ideas an it seems we want one of everything!
But we don't have a budget to
do it all.
What do you suggest?
A: Pick out the things most important to you and
your family and try to do those first.
You mightwant
to consider doing the "hard-scaping" first, ( walkways, patios,
decks,
retaining-walls,
fences, etc.. ) and follow up with larger plants, grass and
shrubbery with
decorative
items last. We are very accommodating and enjoy working
with the
customer to meet their specific needs. A project can be
done over time in phases to help
the client
realize their dreams while staying within their budget.
