Landscaping design is not something that should be slapped together quickly. Since you’ve already spent so much time and money on your house, why not have your exterior live up to your interior space? Since the landscaping design is the first impression people get of your home, why wouldn’t you want your lawn to be a naturally beautiful extension of your indoor living area? Though you probably have your own idea about what you want your lawn to look like, hiring a professional architect who has knowledge about the latest landscaping design principles, vast horticulture expertise, and practical experience working in the field will allow you to create a natural environment by which to surround your home in order to make it more welcoming and striking.

P & L Landscaping started as a very small two person operation. Pete and Lee were close friends and decided they wanted to make some money mowing lawns. As the two grew up they sought different interests. Lee’s brother, Eric decided he wanted to give it a try. At age 16 Eric was determined to make this little business well known someday. In 1989 Eric set out in his little pick-up truck called ”the pup” with his push mower to take care of a handful of clients.

Landscaping with native plants improves the environment. Native plants are hardy because they have adapted to the local conditions. Once established, native plants do not need pesticides, fertilizers, or watering. Not only is this good for the environment, it saves time and money. A native landscape does not need to be mowed like a conventional lawn. This reduces the demand for non-renewable resources and improves the water and air quality.

In conventional landscaping, pesticides are often wrongly applied at times when target insects are not vulnerable. Overuse and inappropriate use often kill beneficial insects and other wildlife. Less than 10% of all insects are harmful to plants. Pesticides have the potential to cause serious human health problems when not handled properly or applied according to the label directions. By eliminating or minimizing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, these pollutants will not run-off into streams, lake, and bays. This improves the quality of the water and the aquatic life in it. In healthy water systems.
