Question #1

What are the differences between natural stone and man-made stone products?

To a large extent, it comes down to personal taste and your project budget. While the majority of our clients prefer the classic look of natural armour or weathered stone, others prefer how man-made stone products allow for projects such as retaining walls and steps to maintain clean, exact lines. However, using a combination of both types of stones can also create a unique and equally beautiful result.

Question #2

What's the difference between hardscape and softscape?

Hardscape and softscape terms refer to the heavier and lighter landscape materials respectively. The rock, stone, and flagstone, being the hardscape, and conversely, to the shrubbery, trees, soil, and grass, as the softscape. For example, Smitty’s Landscaping may complete the hardscape phase of the project first, that being an interlocked driveway or flagstone walkway, then complete the job by planting the trees, shrubs, and grass, better known as the softscape.

Question #3

Can Smitty's Landscaping complete my small at home garden, or a comparatively large office building?

At Smitty’s Landscaping we focus on custom medium to large sized residential landscaping projects. However, Smitty’s has the expertise and full line of equipment to adapt to various sized residential spaces. 

Question #4

Is Smitty's Landscaping willing to work around existing or newly- installed pools, or adding poolside water features?

Yes, Smitty’s Landscaping has 20+ of experience working around both existing and newly-installed pools. We have complimented pool surrounds with elegant walkways, interlocking stones or flagstone (or both), gardens pergolas, and decks. Smitty’s Landscaping also offers water features of varying sizes. For instance, a unique compilation of natural, hand-selected stone can be constructed to create a running waterfall directly into your pool.
