Common Questions About Our Landscape Design Service
Does the Armstrong Garden Centers landscape design service cover both my front yard and back yard?
Our landscape design service is tailored to focus on one specific area of your yard (either front or back) up to 2,500 square feet. However, we understand the value of a cohesive outdoor space and can extend the design to a smaller section of the second area. For additional time required, you may purchase more design hours at a rate of $90 per hour. This ensures your designer has ample time to craft a landscape design that fits your vision across both areas if desired.
Can Armstrong Garden Centers provide a landscape design if I live outside a 15-mile radius from a store?
Yes, our designers typically work within a 15-mile radius of each Armstrong location, but we may be able to accommodate areas farther away for an additional fee. This fee covers the designer's extra travel time and mileage at a minimum of $90 per hour, and it must be paid in advance. Contact our landscape design department at 626-208-8220 with your location details, and we'll confirm if we can provide design services in your area and discuss any additional charges.
