Frequently Asked Design and Installation Questions

You will find all frequently asked questions by clients planning for landscape installations.

Is hardscaping such as walkways, patios, and retaining walls part of a design and installation plan?

It is possible that hardscaping may be part of every design plan. The amount and complexity of the hardscaping depend on the needs of the client and the scale of the installation. Carruthers uses a select group of sub-contractors we have built a long term, trusted relationship with for hardscape installation.

Can Carruthers design and install water features such as ponds, fountains, and waterfalls?

Yes! Just let us know what your ideas are and we’ll let you know if we can build what you are describing. If we cannot we may be able to work with you to suggest an alternative that still meets your overall vision.

Can Carruthers design and an install irrigation/sprinkler systems that are integrated into the overall design?

Yes! We’re experienced in creating efficient irrigations systems and carry a Texas Irrigator License.

Does Carruthers do strictly new construction or can you renovate existing installations?

Both! Many of our clients are seeking a new look or upgrade to existing landscaping, but we can also work on brand new facilities.

Can Carruthers create a landscaping plan that is eco-friendly/low maintenance / low water usage?

Yes! We realize that it is important to many clients to have an installation that stays healthy and attractive while being as environmentally friendly and affordable as possible.
