Olive's was started in 1942 by my Grandfather, Walter Eric Olive. That was 80 years ago! We've accumulated some experience over the years and hope to share it with you through this website. Some people are considered experts when they've been doing the same thing for over forty years, so if you want to ask me lawn and garden, pond, or any question, just email me (Tommy Olive) at [email protected] and I'll get back with my best answer. Or better yet, come see me and our excellent staff!. When you're sick, you want an experienced doctor.

Report
This is such a huge subject! You should start with an honest assessment of your lifestyle. Your landscape should only be as big or complicated as you will enjoy maintaining or paying someone else to maintain. Everybody looks bad if you get inspired to install, get worn out putting it all in, and then fail to maintain it.
Xeriscaping
Report
It's Xeriscape, not Zeroscape. It doesn't mean gravel and a few cactus. Somebody went to Phoenix where they have gravel yards and thought they could do the same here. Think about it: you could buy a vacant lot in Pheonix, pay the taxes and never hear from anyone for ten years. Here you would be fined over any 8 month period for not mowing it.
Landscape Color
Report
There is annual color and perennial color. Mixing the two is a good plan. Annuals give more consistant color but don't come back. Perennials come back for years but need pruning and thinning to look good. The best way to choose color is to come by and see what we have. We'll talk you through it because we know what sun exposure, etc. is required for each plant.
