"On the day of the estimate, Scott walked around the trees with me and got down and actually inspected the holes in the trees to check the tree's integrity. He is the first guy from three different tree services that actually touched the tree and put his hand in the holes to check for rot. Scott's crew were very professional and did an excellent job. Eight 100ft tall trees had holes and were beginning to rot. Three of them would have hit our house if they fell. The owner was at our house on Tuesday for the estimate; we confirmed that we would hire them Friday of the same week. And were here four days later to take the trees down. To watch the trees fall with such accuracy was amazing, not to mention the crew was safe. We would 100% hire All-Pro again and will recommend them. The service was well worth the cost."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Skaneateles, NY

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
