Frequently Asked Questions
We recognize that this might be a new experience for many individuals, and to make your journey smoother, we invite you to explore our frequently asked questions (FAQs). Within these FAQs, you’ll discover concise and informative responses to address a wide range of common queries, ensuring that you can navigate through this unfamiliar territory with confidence and ease.
Will I need a design and how much does it cost?
For projects involving multiple elements such as plants and hardscapes, a design is typically necessary. However, if you’re considering simple installations like a lawn with irrigation or driveway replacement, a design may not be required. Projects with a singular, straightforward focus often don’t necessitate a design.
Is there a project minimum?
Yes, we have a project minimum of $6,000.
Our minimum project requirement is in place to ensure that we can provide full-time employment to all of our in-house crews. We take pride in rarely using subcontractors, preferring to maintain control over the quality and consistency of our work. When we undertake a project, it involves sending out a crew, truck, and equipment. To ensure this is financially viable for our company and to continue offering our clients reasonable prices, each project needs to meet a certain size threshold.
It’s important to note that while we have a project minimum for installations, we offer design services to all clients. This requirement reflects our commitment as a full-service design and installation firm.
When can I expect a bid and can you give me a ballpark amount at our first consultation?
You can expect an itemized bid within 1-2 weeks.
Unless it is a very simple project, you will most likely need a design before getting an accurate bid. We may be able to give you a ballpark estimate depending on whether you know the specifics of what you are looking to get. Such as, the type of material you want to use and how much or how many; having measurements can help with this. It is also helpful for you to have a budget in mind and let your consultant know your budget so he/she can keep this in mind when creating your landscape design and when advising you on the best options for your yard.
How long will it take to start and complete my project?
Once you’ve approved your design and have signed your installation contract we will set an official date to start your project. Depending on how busy we are at the time the start date can be anywhere from 4-8 weeks out. Depending on the scope of work, jobs can take anywhere from 1 week to 2 months to complete.
What is the payment structure for a project? Are finance plans available?
For project payments, we require a $1,000 deposit or 10% of your project total, whichever is less. Payment methods include cash, check, and credit card (with a 3% fee).
Additionally, we offer financing options to accommodate your needs. Our financing program allows you to finance the deposit, a portion, or the entirety of your project. Take advantage of our 1-year, same-as-cash, no-interest financing program, designed to provide flexibility and convenience to our valued customers.
Can you fix my irrigation system? Do I need to replace it?
We will take a look at your current irrigation system and assess if it will need to be repaired or replaced. Usually, an irrigation system that’s broken will need to be replaced, fixing it can be just as costly as replacing it and there are no guarantees that the fix will be sustainable. If we are the company that installs the plants or sod, it’s beneficial for you to have us install the irrigation as well, this way we can guarantee the plants and sod.

Posted on Lala KabadaianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ***Review update: although it took numerous attempts at contacting Picture Build regarding the incident below, they finally came through and offered to replant the plants in our backyard! I was informed that the designer has changed. The new designer was extremely helpful and completely understanding! Original review: We had used picture build a few years ago for my front yard and my backyard and I actually would like to give them 0 stars! When we met with the designer, we made very clear that we were looking for plants in the backyard that would provide us immediate privacy. The plants that they planted have not even grown more than a foot in the last three plus years. They obviously did not use the right plants to achieve that goal. It has not provided me with the privacy that I needed, in fact one of the plants has completely died. I have contacted them on several occasions to request for them to remove the plants and replace them with something that would provide me with privacy as I paid a lot of money for their service. However to date, they have not been able to accommodate me. My last request was for them to just simply remove them. They wanted to charge me $200 to remove the plants. This is an insult to injury. In addition to this major concern, they did not do a good job planning and planting in the front yard either. Many of the plants died and others are either overcrowded or placed in an odd location. I will not ever recommend them to anyone.Posted on Ellen RippbergerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Picture Build did a really nice job putting in a new driveway, a brick path, and French drainage in our yard.Posted on Deborah WilmshurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I haven't written this review until now because I've been outside admiring my new back yard ever since it was finished! From my designer Daniel, to George who supervised the job and all the crew in between, I was met with knowledgable, professional and considerate people. They all worked hard to make my yard more beautiful than I imagined it could be. I highly recommend Picture Build to turn your yard into your very own oasis.Posted on Lorne LavineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience designing and implementing a complete makeover of my back yard. Excellent communication throughout the process, fees were fair and reasonable. Ongoing support is also available as needed.Posted on Darrin MainstainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team at Picture Build did a fantastic job with our front and backyard remodel. They handled the entire project including design and construction for the pool, built-in bbq and appliances, drainage, hardscape, landscape, and lighting. Dana did a great job with the design and Jorge was an excellent project manager. All the employees on the job day-to-day were friendly, efficient and reliable. Special thanks to Max, Hugo and Carlos. Mo was very organized and clear with the billing throughout the project. I strongly recommend Picture Build for your outdoor remodel needs.Posted on Katherine KerrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Led by Jorge, the whole Picture Build crew knocked our project out of the park and transformed our front and backyards into the outdoor living oases we dreamed of. We've worked with other contractors who don't show up as planned, leave early, leave projects unfinished, add hidden fees, etc., but this wasn't our experience with Jorge and his team. They are the real deal. Every step of the way, they were punctual, professional, hardworking, and truly went above and beyond for us in every sense. I cannot recommend them enough and will be hiring them for any other projects in the future!Posted on Tasos NikolerisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five stars for Picture Build. Daniel, George, and team did an excellent job in remodeling our backyard. The project was on time, in budget, and client communications were great. They are very organized and it's obvious this is a very experienced team. Execution was great and everyone who worked in our property was very friendly and professional. We will hire them again next year for our frontyard.Posted on Emily SteenwykTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Picture Build exceeded our expectations! We had been referred to them by family friends who couldn’t say enough good things. The whole process was great! Dana and Jorge were patient with us as we picked the perfect flagstone, drought tolerant plants, and lighting. The lighting really made it all come together. We can’t wait to use them again for our next project. Would highly recommend Picture Build.
