Answers to common questions about landscaping and property care in Strasburg, VA.
Getting Started
What areas does Schleig Landscaping serve?
We’re based in Strasburg, Virginia, and serve Strasburg and surrounding communities. Contact us with your location and the work you have in mind to confirm service availability.
How do I get an estimate for landscaping work?
Call us or submit an estimate request. We’ll arrange a visit to look at your property, discuss your priorities, and review the proposed work. You’ll receive a detailed estimate with an explanation of what’s included and time to ask questions.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before you visit?
No. You might have a specific project in mind or simply know that part of your yard needs improvement. Our owner will talk through your ideas, look at the space, and help you understand your options. Photos of landscapes you like can be helpful, but they aren’t required.
Can you improve my existing landscaping without starting over?
Yes. We can discuss refreshing planting areas, replanting, pruning, adding mulch or gravel, and other improvements that work with what’s already there. We’ll help you consider what to keep and what could benefit from a change.
Plants and Landscape Care
Will you explain how to care for my new plants?
Yes. We take time to explain the care your new plantings need and answer your questions. Understanding watering and ongoing upkeep helps you care for your landscape as it settles in and grows.
Do your plants and trees come with a warranty?
We offer a one-year warranty on plants and up to a three-year warranty on trees. Contact us for the coverage details, requirements, and terms that apply to your installation.
Can you help me decide between mulch and gravel?
Yes. The right choice depends on the location, the plants, and how you want the area to look and function. We’ll discuss those factors with you and explain the proposed installation before you decide.
Can you trim my trees and prune my bushes during a larger landscape project?
We can discuss trimming and pruning alongside a cleanup or landscape installation. During the visit, we’ll review the plants you want addressed and explain which work can be included in your estimate.
Lawn Care and Seasonal Cleanup
Can I hire you to mow my lawn?
Yes. We offer mowing services in Strasburg and surrounding communities. Contact us to discuss your property, mowing needs, and current availability.
How do I know whether my lawn needs fertilization or aeration?
That depends on your lawn’s condition. Fertilization supplies nutrients for grass growth, while aeration helps relieve compacted soil. We’ll look at the lawn, hear your concerns, and explain which services we recommend.
What’s included in a seasonal yard cleanup?
The work depends on your property and the areas that need attention. We’ll review the yard with you and outline the cleanup tasks in your estimate. If you also want pruning, fresh mulch, or planting updates, we can discuss those during the visit.
What do your winterization services cover?
Our winterization services focus on preparing your yard and planting areas for colder weather. We’ll explain the recommended work for your property and any care you should continue afterward. Contact us to discuss specific tasks you have in mind.
Landscape Lighting
Can you add lighting to landscaping I already have?
Yes. Permanent landscape lighting can be considered for existing landscaping as well as new installations. We’ll look at the areas you want to illuminate and discuss a plan that suits the space.
Can landscape lighting help me see my walkways after dark?
Yes. Lighting can help make walkways, entrances, and changes in elevation more visible. It can also highlight planting beds and trees or create a welcoming atmosphere around outdoor gathering areas. We’ll discuss where you’d appreciate more light during your initial visit.
