Question 1

Is landscape design pricing different in Hollister than the rest of Monterey County?

Accepted Answer

Pricing for landscape design in Hollister generally lands within our standard range of $500–$5,000+ design fees. Local factors that shift the number include a mix of sandy loam and heavier clay depending on the parcel, rural-residential parcels and larger lots that often involve grading and drainage decisions before installation, and access to the site for crew and material staging. We give you a written quote within 48 hours of the on-site walkthrough — see the main landscape design page for the full pricing breakdown.

Question 2

Do you have landscape design crews scheduled in Hollister every week?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we run crews in Hollister and the surrounding San Benito County on a recurring schedule. Same-week walkthroughs are typical, and most installs start within 2–6 weeks of contract depending on scope and material lead time. Request a free quote and we'll come back with a real schedule.

Question 3

What Hollister-specific factors affect landscape design?

Accepted Answer

Inland design balances aesthetic ambition with the realities of larger lots — pedestrian flow, equipment access, and zones for entertaining vs maintenance. Beyond climate, every Hollister install also factors in rural-residential parcels and larger lots that often involve grading and drainage decisions before installation. We design and install to the conditions, not against them.

Question 4

Do you serve other cities near Hollister?

Accepted Answer

Yes — neighboring inland communities Prunedale, Castroville are all part of our regular service area. Full service-area list here.

Question 5

Do I really need a landscape designer?

Accepted Answer

For projects over $10k or requiring permit or HOA approval, yes — design pays for itself by avoiding rework and change orders. Our designer vs contractor breakdown covers when you actually need formal design. Smaller projects can skip formal design and go straight to softscape or hardscape install.

Question 6

How long does the design process take?

Accepted Answer

Concept plan: 2–3 weeks. Full construction documents: 4–8 weeks depending on scope and revision cycles — full sequence in our step-by-step design process. New-construction homeowners typically engage early to align with builder schedules.

Question 7

Do you provide 3D renderings?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 3D renderings are standard for full landscape design packages and optional add-ons for concept-only engagements. Walk through the space, check sight-lines from windows, approve before we dig — see the 2D vs 3D rendering comparison for what each delivers, and 3D rendering pricing for the cost piece.

Question 8

Can you work with my existing contractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide design-only services and coordinate with your contractor via construction-admin calls during the build — full breakdown in our design-only vs design-build comparison. Designers and architects partnering with us can also outsource the install while keeping the design lead.

Question 9

How does Turftenders pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Every project starts with a free on-site walkthrough. You get a written line-item estimate within 48 hours — no phone-quote guesses, no surprise add-ons mid-job.

Billing depends on what you're booking:

Maintenance programs are flat-rate monthly, billed in advance.
Install projects (turf, hardscape, design-build) use milestone billing: 30% deposit, 30% mid-project, 40% on completion and walk-through.
HOA contracts follow your community's preferred billing cadence — monthly or quarterly.

Estimate ranges by service category live on each service page.

Question 10

How fast can you start my project?

Accepted Answer

We schedule walkthroughs within the same week for most Monterey County requests. Typical project start is 2–6 weeks after contract signing depending on scope. Maintenance programs can usually start the following week.

Spring and early summer (March–June) book out fastest — if you're targeting a specific deadline (party, listing, HOA inspection), tell us the date when you reach out and we'll work backward from it.

Question 11

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. California Contractor's License (C-27 Landscape), $2M general liability, $1M auto liability, and workers' comp at statutory limits on every crew member. Certificate of insurance available on request, with your HOA or property manager added as additional insured. We've been doing this in Monterey County since 2009.
