Bill Doughty Landscaping’s Phiefer residence project
Q: Can I do my landscaping project in phases to save money?
A: "Absolutely. We can help you decide how to phase your project to meet certain budget requirements. We’ll work with you to identify your priorities, and then we’ll determine the best order of installation."
Q: How do I decide what type of concrete, flagstones or pavers to use in my yard?
A: "We’ll help you decide what to use in your yard based on your budget, space requirements and aesthetic preferences."
Q: Can you help me pick a type of tree or plant for a certain part of my yard?
A: "Yes. We have an extensive background in the plants that are grown and sold in the Bay Area, so we’re well-versed in plant material, colors, shapes and sizes."
Q: Do you also provide landscape maintenance services?
A: "No. Since we don’t do maintenance, we can focus entirely on installation and building, which makes us experts in those areas. It also gives us an edge over our competition because we don’t have to worry about the maintenance aspect in our day-to-day operations."
Q: Can you repair my irrigation system or make it work consistently throughout my yard?
A: "Yes, we can fix or replace sprinkler heads or any part of a sprinkler system. As part of our service, we’ll also check your irrigation controller and make adjustments to improve your existing landscape."
Q: Can you make my existing watering system more efficient?
A: "Yes. We can update and adjust your irrigation controllers to help maximize your water usage in the most efficient way possible."
Q: Will the drainage from my new landscaping affect my neighbors or surrounding areas?
A: "No. We’re very skilled when it comes to drainage work. We understand drainage is a huge liability between homeowners and their neighbors, so we pay close attention to each system’s design and make sure it works properly."
