LANDSCAPING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to the questions homeowners ask most often. Don't see yours? Reach out and we'll get you an answer.
GENERAL LANDSCAPING
The Landscaper Crew provides landscape design, landscape installation, flower bed installation, mulch and rock installation, plant installation, hardscaping, retaining walls, walkways, cleanups, and other outdoor improvement services. Available services may vary by project.
Yes. We're a crew of local college students doing real, professional-grade landscape work — not a national franchise and not a network of subcontractors. Being a lean, student-run crew keeps our overhead low, which is a big part of why we're able to offer competitive, affordable pricing without cutting corners on quality.
Our current service area is Arlington, Mansfield, Kennedale, and Pantego, Texas.
No. The Landscaper Crew is a landscape design and construction company. Mowing is not a core service — we focus on landscape beds, plantings, ground cover, and hardscaping.
PRICING
Landscaping costs depend on the size of the area, materials, labor, accessibility, site conditions, and scope of work. We provide project-specific estimates rather than one-size-fits-all pricing.
Yes. Contact The Landscaper Crew to discuss your project and request a quote.
Project terms, including any deposit, are outlined in your proposal before work begins. Ask us about specifics when you request your quote.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Yes. Depending on the project, we can help plan the layout, materials, plants, ground cover, borders, and other landscape elements before installation.
No — smaller projects like a single bed usually just need a quick conversation about layout and materials.
FLOWER BEDS
It depends on sun exposure, soil, and the look you want. We'll walk through plant and material options that fit your space.
Both are valid options. Mulch adds organic material to the soil as it breaks down; rock generally needs refreshing less often. Neither is universally better — it comes down to your goals.
ROCK & MULCH
Organic mulch breaks down over time, so most beds benefit from a refresh roughly once a year, depending on conditions.
It depends on the square footage of your beds and the depth you want — we calculate this as part of your quote.
PLANTS
We consider sun exposure, soil conditions, spacing, and the look you're going for on your property.
We don't make guarantees about plant survival, since establishment depends on many factors including weather, watering, and site conditions. We select plants appropriate for the site and install them properly.
HARDSCAPING
Landscaping generally refers to plants, beds, and ground cover, while hardscaping refers to built features like patios, walls, and walkways. Most outdoor projects use a mix of both.
It depends on the wall's height and your local jurisdiction. Some larger walls may require permits or engineering review — ask us about your specific project.
SCHEDULING
Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, materials, weather, and site conditions. We'll provide an expected timeline before work begins.
That depends on the project and access requirements. We'll discuss what is needed before scheduling your work.
SERVICE AREAS
For now, we’re focusing on Arlington, Mansfield, Kennedale, and Pantego. If your property is just outside those areas, ask before assuming we can take the job.
