Frequently asked questions

What services do you offer?

At Mr. Jones Landscaping, we provide a comprehensive range of outdoor solutions tailored to your needs. Our services include pool design and installation, hard landscaping (such as decks, retaining walls, and fences), soft landscaping (including garden beds, planting, and turfing), and garden maintenance to keep your outdoor space looking its best year-round. We also offer artificial grass installation and work with trusted designers for specialized projects. Whether you want a complete backyard transformation or a small upgrade, our team can handle it all.

Do you provide custom designs?

Yes! Every property and homeowner is unique, so we believe in creating outdoor spaces that reflect your vision and lifestyle. Our design process typically includes an initial consultation, concept planning, detailed 3D visual plans, and planting layouts before we begin installation. While we often collaborate with designers like Magnolia, we’re also introducing in-house design services—especially for pool projects. This ensures your entire outdoor area, from pools to landscaping, feels cohesive and personalized.

How does the pool installation process work?

Pool installation is one of our specialties, and we handle everything from start to finish. Our process starts with a site assessment to understand your property layout and vision. We then create a custom design, taking into account features like decking, fencing, and landscaping integration. After approvals, our skilled team manages the entire installation, including ground preparation, pool placement, plumbing, and finishing touches such as paving and plantings. We aim for a smooth, stress-free experience so you can enjoy your new pool as soon as possible.

What is the difference between hard and soft landscaping?

Hard landscaping involves the structural elements of your outdoor space, such as decks, patios, retaining walls, pathways, and fences—essentially the “bones” of your landscape. Soft landscaping, on the other hand, focuses on the living elements, like plants, lawns, garden beds, and trees. Both are important: hardscaping provides structure and durability, while soft landscaping adds life and color. Our team specializes in blending the two seamlessly for a functional and beautiful result.

Do you offer maintenance services?

Yes! Once your dream landscape is installed, we can keep it looking pristine through our garden maintenance services. This includes tasks like lawn care, plant pruning, seasonal clean-ups, and irrigation system checks. For clients who prefer a hands-off approach, we also offer subscription-based maintenance plans for consistent, worry-free upkeep. Whether you need a one-off tidy-up or regular care, we’ve got you covered.
