Landscape Design

Your outdoor space is more than just a yard—it’s an extension of your home and a reflection of your lifestyle. At Tricounty Tree Care, we bridge the gap between expert tree health and breathtaking landscape aesthetics. Whether you are looking to create a peaceful backyard retreat or enhance your property’s curb appeal, our design team brings your vision to life.

Our Design Philosophy

We don’t just plant trees and shrubs; we curate environments. Because we are tree care specialists first, our designs are rooted in sustainability and longevity. We understand soil health, local climate patterns, and how your canopy will grow over the next twenty years.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I choose a tree care company for landscape design?

Most landscapers focus on aesthetics alone. Because we are arboricultural experts, we design with the long-term health of your canopy in mind. We ensure that new plantings won't interfere with existing root systems and that "hero" trees are placed in environments where they can actually reach their full potential.

2. How much does a professional landscape design cost?

Project costs vary based on the size of the property and the complexity of the plan. We offer initial consultations to assess your space, after which we provide a detailed estimate. Investing in a professional plan often saves money in the long run by preventing plant failure and costly removals of "wrong plant, wrong place" choices.

3. Can you incorporate my existing mature trees into a new design?

Absolutely. In fact, that is our specialty. We look for ways to highlight your property’s "legacy" trees, using them as focal points while implementing "tree protection zones" during the installation of new features to ensure their roots aren't damaged.

4. Do you handle "hardscaping" (patios, walkways, walls)?

Our primary focus is on softscaping—the living elements of your landscape. However, we frequently partner with trusted local hardscape contractors to ensure your stone or wood features integrate seamlessly with our planting and tree management plans.

5. What is the best time of year to start a design project?

While we design year-round, late fall and early spring are the ideal times for installation. This allows new trees and shrubs to establish their root systems before the heat of summer. Starting the design process in the winter ensures you are at the front of the line when planting season begins.

6. Will I need to maintain the new landscape myself?

Every design we create comes with a custom Aftercare Guide. We can also discuss ongoing maintenance packages—such as seasonal pruning, fertilization, and health monitoring—to ensure your investment continues to grow in beauty and value.
