For over thirty (30) years Franco Landscaping, and owner Brian Franco, have been a staple in the community as well as throughout the landscape world here in Indianapolis and surrounding areas. Building on the foundation of the company’s motto: ‘Our customer’s satisfaction is a beginning, not an end’ sets the precedence that the company strives for and is reflective in both the personnel the company has hired throughout its history and the quality of work that has been completed for their highly valued clientele.
If you want to create a true outdoor retreat that is both sustainable as well as affordable, Franco Landscaping has the staff, years of experience, and knowhow to accomplish these expectations. This process begins during the very first interaction where the design staff works with the respective client(s) to understand the goals of the project and expectations of the outcome. From there the plan evolves to meet those goals and is eventually worked by the installation crews whom ultimately use talented hands to make that plan come to fruition.
Franco Landscaping designer, Tom Jones, states “sustainable outdoor living spaces and water conscience plantings are becoming the new trend in design”. Playing off this statement and due to the pandemic and concerns of future situations where travel maybe limited and/or suspended and the concern over our everchanging environment, backyards have become the new desired resort escape and environmental haven. The most desired additions to these backyard retreats include pools and hot tubs, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens under a covered roof structure. Sustainable plant selections with limited water and chemical dependance. The investment in one’s home can be seen as a reflection to the added property value financially but the added value that cannot be measured with numbers is the added quality of life this investment can impart for all those involved.
Franco’s crucial advice to any homeowner whom maybe considering a landscape project: Involve your landscape design firm from the beginning. This includes any preliminary questions such as siting key elements, traffic flow, accessibility among others. This way, the various elements of the outdoor improvements can be laid out in a way that is both functional and appealing before the first dollar is spent, and costly re-work can be avoided. “There is a purpose behind how [elements are incorporated] into a design,” Franco noted, “and that is what we do best.”
