Frequently Asked Questions

Quality landscaping is a long-term investment that can last decades with proper care. At Midwest Landscape, we use only the finest materials and native plants that thrive in Northwest Indiana’s climate, providing durability and long-lasting results. Additionally, our hardscaping features, including paver patios, are designed to withstand the elements and the test of time.

Smart planning prevents overspending while achieving beautiful results. Start by establishing a clear budget and prioritizing your must-have features. Consider phasing your project over time, and take advantage of our flexible financing options. Our team will work within your budget to maximize value, and our detailed designs help prevent any surprise costs during installation.

Maintenance requirements vary based on your landscape design and plant selections. We prioritize native Northwest Indiana plants that are naturally resilient and require minimal upkeep. Hardscaping features like paver patios need very little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. During your consultation, we’ll discuss maintenance requirements so you can make informed decisions about your landscape investment.

While having ideas is helpful, you don’t need a complete vision before our consultation! Our seasoned designers excel at helping you conceptualize your space and discover what’s possible. During your initial meeting, we’ll discuss your lifestyle, preferences, and budget. Our 3D imaging software lets you visualize your new landscape before construction begins, so the final design aligns perfectly with your vision.

This depends on your current landscape’s condition and your goals. Minor updates, such as adding colorful flower beds or installing landscape lighting, might be sufficient for some properties. However, if you’re looking to create outdoor living spaces, address drainage issues, or completely transform your property’s appearance, a full redesign may be the better investment. Our team will assess your space and recommend the most cost-effective approach.

The optimal timing for landscaping projects depends on your specific goals and the type of work involved. Spring and early fall are generally ideal for most landscaping installations, as plants have sufficient time to establish themselves before extreme weather arrives. However, hardscaping projects, such as paver patios and outdoor kitchens, can be completed throughout most of the year. Our experienced team understands Northwest Indiana’s climate and will recommend the best timing for your specific project.

DIY landscaping can lead to costly mistakes, especially with drainage, plant selection, and hardscaping installation.
