Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about landscaping in Merriam
For our local climate, concrete pavers are the top choice. Unlike poured concrete, pavers are flexible and won't crack during the Kansas freeze-thaw cycles. They are also easy to spot-repair if a utility line ever needs to be accessed.
Most residential walkways can be completed in 2 to 4 days, depending on the complexity of the design and the excavation required for a proper gravel base.
Yes. Nationally, outdoor kitchens can see a return on investment (ROI) of 100% to 200%. Buyers in the Johnson County area specifically look for functional outdoor living spaces that extend the home's square footage.
If you have standing water in your yard or a soggy lawn, a French drain (subsurface pipe) is best for moving water away silently. If you are dealing with fast-moving surface runoff that causes erosion, a dry creek bed (decorative stones) is more effective at slowing down and redirecting the flow.
While planting is best in Spring or Fall, hardscaping projects (patios, kitchens, walls) can be built nearly year-round.
